Best micro variety 12packs?

just saw a stone variety pack that looked interesting, a little pricier@ 20 bucks though.

 

if that was dark horse IPA 12 pack that was pretty awesome

 

New Glarus variety pack is currently Spotted Cow, Moon Man, Two Women, and a rotating seasonal (can't remember what it is right now, but either Cabin Fever, Fat Squirrel, Snowshoe, or Coffee Stout). All great beers per style and cheap to boot (roughly $12-14, depending on where you're buying).

I also really dig Victory's pack, even if Golden Monkey isn't the best tripel around.

I wish we got Great Lakes variety packs here. They don't make anything less than great beer.

 

I think you guys in Pennsylvania are the only ones who see a Founders variety pack, and I believe it is put together by the distributors.

 

Yeah, never have seen one here in Grand Rapids.

Shorts does a pretty good job on their variety packs.

 

Ithaca's "Box of..." packs. The Box of Hops was great, and I'm moving through the Box of Belgians pack currently, and I'm liking it so far.

 

I wish I could get that Great Lakes 12 pack, it sounds great. Brooklyn's variety, as SammyJaxxx noted is great. 'Round these parts, Mayflower just started putting one out that's nice.

 

I don't think I've seen those in RI.

 

I liked the box of belgians even better than the box fo hops.

 

I know you want the best but Im gonna give you the worst. Leinenkugel. Not only are the beers medicore they put the Orange Shandy in the Fall AND Winter packs and Shandys are beers for the hot weather. What a fail.

 

Just finished the Sierra Nevada variety pack, while interesting I'm not buying another. I didn't care for the Nooner much, tasted like a slightly hoppier Sumerfest, the Snow Wit wasn't as good as Kellerweise and the Black IPA isn't as good as their regular Porter. I Ended up wishing I'd just bought a 12 of Torpedo which was IMO the best beer in the box.

 

i'm still waiting on that Deschutes variety pack.

 

Someone brought me a New Glarus variety pack with Spotted Cow, Moon Man, Fat Squirrel and Blacktop.

None of it was earth shattering but all of it was good everyday beer and cheap.

 

Sierra Nevada's new 4-Way IPA box is pretty solid, and only $15 (or at least that's what I grabbed it for).

 

Dreaming of a Lag variety pack:

Lag IPA
Sucks
Daytime
Shutdown

 

The beers in the case were printed on the box by Founders with a packing date. I am pretty sure it was not assembled by the distributor I bought it from. It as the only one there.
