    Great Lakes, Deschutes, Troegs, Anchor, and SN. Great Lakes is my personal favorite out of those, but only by a hair.

    I've personally tried at least a dozen different brewery's variety packs, mainly to get just that, a variety of their offerings. And for the proverbial bang for the buck nobody beats Sierra Nevada, nobody!

    Definitely have got to go with anything Sam Adams, especially the 2x6beers ones. I'm partial to the Winter one, and even better if there isn't an IPA in it (to each their own). However, worst case there is one, it tends to be such a good deal at 10 bottles of 5 unique, tasty beers for the price (plus two easy "hey bud, how about an IPA?" hand offs to a friend) that there is rarely an SA mixer I don't pick up a couple of.

    Rarely buy variety packs these days. The only two I ever purchase are Sam Adams and Abita. I know that I will enjoy every beer offered in these packs.

    I've had the stout and IPL so far, both quite good. found out why they call it the Adventure Pack as I got 4 of the stouts (yay!) but none of the cream ales (boo!).

    I enjoy the beer camp series each year and look forward to it quite a bit, but I will say that the last few offerings have been sort of "blah" to me- nothing in there that really stood out. Nothing bad either, just mediocre stuff. Im a big Sierra Nevada fan and I'll keep buying these beers, but hope they really knock it out of the park the next few collabs.

    Great Divide's "Big Show" series have been great. last time I had one of these they had three espresso yetis, and three other strong, awesome beers including their trippel, Orabelle.

    Sweetwater variety packs are common at my local Publix so I often pick those up. They have 420, IPA, & some of their "Catch and Release" beers so if it's something I haven't tried, it's a good way to sample a new beer or two.

    Red Hook Foursome-Didn't care for it.
    SA Cabin-Really good.
    SN 4-Way-Excellent

    picked up the Samuel Adams Adventures in Lager variety pack last week and i'm a huge fan, each beer is pretty unique and tasty and its a great value.

    I enjoy Karbach's Brewer's Tour.....I usually find it on sale. I just wish they would have Hop Delusion in it.
