    I had several 6ers last year. One when it first showed up then 3 more when they went on sale after Christmas for 4$ a 6er hops faded a bit but great value and taste.

    I was wondering the other day why I hadn't seen 2 Below in a while...

    Had one tonight, I can't agree more. Pleasantly surprised. Bought a single for 1.50$. Totally worth it!

    Does anyone else get a really strong onion flavor/smell from this beer? My New Belgium rep gave me a bottle to try and all I got from the nose and taste was onions onions onions...

    I tried this last year. I remember killing the six pack. That's never happened to me before while drinking any New Belgium brew.

    Picked up a sixer of this last weekend and finally popped one open tonight. I'm an IPA guy, and I like NB's Ranger and Rampant IPAs. Accumulation is a pretty good drink. I like it. Not my favorite but I like it.

    Yeah, I agree. Snow Day reminded me of Sierra Nevada Celebration but with less intense bitter hops.

    I think 2 Below is in their Folly Revival pack currently.

    I think it's basically your typical New Belgium hoppy brew with a kiss of wheat.. it's not bad, but nothing great IMO.. I was hoping it was gonna be similar to Rampage because I thought they did a solid job with Mosaic hops with that one.. but the pricetag is on point..

    Tried it once. Bought a single. It was okay. Not particularly memorable. Given beers in this price range, I would rather have a lot of others like Celebration or Lagunitas anything.

    Dropping some faith on this thread and picked up a single bottle today. Looking forward to trying it out.

    I dig Accumulation. It's a solid beer. I just wish that New Belgium would bring back Red Hoptober already. I friggin' loved that beer.

    My thoughts exactly. Its a good beer, nothing that really that stands out though.

    It is indeed in the current Folly Pack.

    I had Rampant a few weeks ago and I thought it was better than last year's version. I will definitely be picking up some Accumulation.

    I live in a rural area and for some reason NB is very popular and easy to find. Rampant is a amazing deal. $10 for 6 pack of 8.5% DIPA. Anyway Accumulation has started showing up and I love it. Between Accumulation and SN Celebration. Thanksgiving thru New Years is my favorite time of the year for beer releases.

    It is a very solid brew. I took it to a Christmas beer exchange last year and it was one of the favorites of the seasonal beers. I have a 1/6 keg on the way for my Christmas (or Holiday, for the politically correct) party this year.

    I've never been a huge New Belgium fan and rarely buy their beers. I happened to try the Accumulation at a party yesterday and thought it was darn good. I may pick up a 6 pack of it so I can do a proper review sometime.

    New Belgium has has surprised me with a few good ones. Accumulation, Snapshot, and Tour de Fall are 3 very solid cheap beers. Not one of my favorite breweries but I think they get bashed more than they deserve
