    Well, it's not exactly a "mix" pack.

    I don't understand, is it not a 12 pack made with 4 different beers?

    Brilliant marketing strategy. Guess they aren't overly concerned with being seen as a 1-trick pony.

    I am really looking forward to this release. It's nice to see my home boyz compete with sierra nevada and their beer camp cases. Cascazilla is a favorite of mine and so is flower power. I can't wait to try these beers and I can only hope that they don't do like southern tier and send this far and wide before it hits the local shelves. (I mean wegmans) The fact that all these beers are high abv is good competition for ST's winter sampler case of 2xipa, iniquity and unearthly. Let the tasting begin!

    Oh good. More hops.
    I think it's interesting that some of the folks commenting favorably here are some of the same ones that are raking ABInBev in the Project 12 thread for brewing nothing but lagers.
    Familiar?

    Guess I will be making a trip to the store next week. Excited to try the The Creeker it sounds great. Flower Power always has a place in my fridge as well.

    How are they a one-trick pony? I personally think their Nut Brown is one of the best interpretations of the English style you can find stateside. Ground Break is a great saison (when in season) and I'm pretty sure everyone drools over LeBleu, a sour, if the ISO:FT forum is to be believed. That's a decent range of styles in my book.

    Plus making a mix pack of different styles wouldn't move the needle at all since their other brews are made in abundance. You could make your own. Flower Power plus 3 completely new beers sharing a hop-driven origin makes sense to me, and by no means tells me they are trying to cash in.

    I am already a big fan of Flower Power, Cascazilla and I got to try a sample of Dark Vine at the brewery so I am definitely going to be hunting this one down!!!

    Hopefully I can track this down...Dark Vine sounds awesome, and Double Zilla sounds incredible.

    Ohio has a 12% cap. The new beers are appearing for Cleveland Beer Week, so I'm assuming that means we'll get the box as well.
