Sam Adams Winter Classics Pack 2013?

I disagree, it's November now and we won't make it out of the 40s today, so what better time?!?

 

Wait, what?!? No more Alpine Spring?!? I love that beer! I just researched and it does indeed appear that this Cold Snap business will be replacing Alpine Spring! Nooooo!!!!

 

I love this pack!!!!

 

White Christmas was a pleasant surprise, glad it's back. I don't limit my Winter drinking to just stouts and porters - most of you folks are too narrow minded/boring.

 

The cherry chocolate bock tastes just like a chocolate covered cherry that u get around the holidays. Can't remember the name of the them though lol

 

Cherry Cordials. I love them. And I love this beer.

 

I picked up the 12 pack last week. I was pleasantly surprised with it. I didn't really care for the two Winter brews because I don't care for the spices. But I really enjoyed the other beers. I thought the Cherry Chocolate Bock was very tasty.

 

Agreed, I only order a Boston Lager when my friends are buying a round at a place that has no other craft. Not a terrible beer but not something I really seek out.

 

I totally noticed the Cherry Cordial comparision too.

 

i went to go get this today and my store had the harvest collection still grr!!!!!
i picked up magic hat winter instead
looking forward to the sam adams winter pack
i liked the harvest pack alot but i didnt want to get it again
however i was looking forward to the chocalate bock and they replaced it with cherry version so i guess im a bit more curious

 

I'm really enjoying the Cheery Chocolate Bock. I do miss the original, but I'm pleasantly surprised how good this is. The Juniper IPA is also really enjoyable. The rest I've had and enjoyed, especially Old Fezziwig. I'll have to keep an eye open for singles of it.

 

No holiday porter and CHERRY chocolate bock??! WTH?? I love Old Fezziwig, but I doubt that's enough to make me want to buy this mixed pack anymore. I've looked forward to it the past few years since they got rid of the cranberry lambic and replaced it with the chocolate bock.

Agreed! Wasn't a big fan of the cappucino stout, but there was always someone who would want them, (and it was better than cranberry lambic!).

 

I guess I'm glad I held out and kept my 1 chocolate bock and 1 black and brew!!

 

Watery mess? Sorry, your face and all of its belongings are broken

 

My thoughts exactly. That and Old Fezzie are the reasons I buy it.

 

I always figured it was in there so if you had a guest that didn't like good beer you could at least offer them something that wasn't too challenging.

 

This pack is a staple in my fridge every year. I still hate how Sam Adams keeps trying to make witbiers happen, but the other are all good. The Juniper IPA could be interesting.
I know I'm in the minority, but I'll love to have Cranberry Lambic return under a different name. I think a lot of people hate it because of the name and not the taste.

 

Has anyone seen this in MA yet?

 

An announcement that Old Fezzi was booted from this variety would command me to involuntarily punch my computer screen and bellow a tangent of obscenities; however, the dismissal of the Holiday Porter is almost as disappointing... But, hey! There's still Old Fezzi.

 

Just picked up a single of SA Winter Lager. Did they change the recipe? I remember it being A LOT better in past years. Kind of bland and watery, with a metallic taste. I remember it being just, well, better! Anyone else notice this or is it just me?
