Devil's Backbone 2016 Adventure Pack Collaboration Sampler

Mine also!! I'm bummed, I've sent an email to DB yesterday, still waiting to hear from them.

 

That's a bummer.

 

Good read. Thanks.

 

That's a bummer.

I am wondering what happened that there are numerous packs not having all the beer.

 

I've had all but one of the beers in the pack, and have been impressed with them all. The Coffee brown ale was great. The session IPL was solid. I didnt think i would like it at all.

 

Enjoying this more than the collab pack they did last year. The beers are all solid, though maybe not knocking my socks off (how I feel about DB beers in general). Like others here, the Surly coffee brown is my favorite, followed by the Sun King cream ale. Definitely a fun idea that I hope they continue with every year.

 

Agree with most others that Risen is the best beer in the pack, taste like a slightly more bitter version of Tree House's Bear brown ale. After that, I thought the session IPL was solid and would be a great summer beach beer.

 

Just picked up my first 12-pack. Will crack it tomorrow night. At just under $22 sounds like there are better deals out there than I found at Arrow. Looking forward to the Surly colab.

 

Environmental Engineer here. Just to make sure I get my geek on a bit. Some cyanobacteria secrete a toxin harmful to humans. Not saying these blue-greens do that, but maybe the thrill of drinking something potentially dangerous makes it more appetizing (like puffer fish sushi)

 

Our local is having a tap and social tomorrow with these beers. I will let everyone know what I think. If I never post again you will know the reason why.

 

Wow as also an environmental engineer for a govt contracter, apparently this environmental engineer doesn't realize all commercial products must adhere to a standard and be federally approved. Don't worry about the beer, peeps.

 

I just had the beer and died.

 

If referring to me, I totally do, just making light of the cyanobacteria/blue green algae discussion.

 

I haven't seen this in MD yet. Want to pick it up soon.

 

Tried two so far. I put the NODA Session IPL in front of the Surly Risen, which does not seem to align with others, but I thought the Risen was a bit thin and I've been looking for a good low ABV beer I can pound.

 

Was really surprised how much I liked the pack. I thought all of the Collabs were great.
