    Picked up this variety case at costco the other day for $27, rather good deal for some hoppy beers. I know Sam Adams gets a lot of grief since the owner expressed his dislike of hoppy beers but this is a rather solid variety case. It includes 4 bottles of 6 different beers: Tasman Red (red IPA w new zealand hops), Grumpy Monk (belgian IPA), the rebel ipa (fair), rebel rouser (double ipa), latitude48, (great mix), and double agent (hoppy lager).
    I respect the change that sam adams brought in the 90's but the boston lager is just not a favorite of mine, this mixed case however , has been great. All hoppy, but all with different hops and different flavors.
    plus a great deal at costco, only the 2nd time I've seen this case for sale. if you see it, buy one

    I hope we get this one in Ohio before the beers are all months old, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

    I saw this today. Very interesting. Even with his disdain they are good brewers so this interests me.

    I will be looking for this as well. You can't help but like the way they've changed their approach to variety in their variety packs by keeping the mix of beers even across the pack. Being the solid brewers they are, I can't wait to try these and taste their take on hoppy beers.

    I bought one. All the beers we OK expect the IPL had a bit of diactyl off flavor.
