    It is ludicrously early for this. Especially when you consider that it won't be "spring" in Boston for about 3 months

    And it's great when it's a fresh keg too. Once this year I got the first pour from a new keg at a bar and I couldn't resist but to have several.

    Plus, it's a big value beer. I usually get it for around $12/twelve at grocery stores in AZ.

    I work for a distributor. We've been out of SA Winter Lager 12pks for a week, and Alpine Spring showed up yesterday. Octoberfest came out at the end of July.

    I'll pass. I bought their winter pack and was pretty disappointed over the beers.

    I don't know. Boston Brewing/Sam Adams has gotten pretty boring. I mean I will still go with a Boston Lager if that is my only "craft" choice but I've decided I won't buy any more of their sample packs.

    Pretty much how i feel about them as a whole. I wish they'd stop making a new beer weekly and focus on a standard 10-15 and make them all top notch.

    I voted for the Maple Pecan Porter. Just like I voted for it at this beer fest when it was running against the Mighty Oak I believe. Can't wait to have the Maple Pecan. Shit, I can't wait to pick up this mix pack. 1. Sam Adam's makes ultra-decent beer. 2. Ticker's gotta tick.

    Agreed. Though I think you and me might be in the minority cuz everyone else voted for the other sample (Mighty Oak, I believe) at the fest I attended.

    Those people must have been too drunk. I thought the Mighty Oak was Mighty Awful.

    Surprisingly... I picked it up at my local Walmart here in Texas.... it stood out amongst all the crap BMC beers.

    I think this might have hit south Texas first as we don't get much of a winter.:wink: ... (though it will be in the thirties the next two nights... but up into the fifties during the day.)

    Remember Sam Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner?

    http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35/38591

    They may give Jack's Abby a run for their money if they can match the excellence that was their imperial pilsner.

    Ha ha I was just thinking about when this will be out in stores and if it will come even earlier this year...guess I have my answer!

    I will be picking up a case for sure. I like the Boston Lager, Alpine Spring and the Irish Red (just okay, but an easy drinker) and I am really curious about the others...the IPL sounds very interesting! The Wit beer, I will try one of course but more than likely I will end up saving most of them for when a few of my friends come over, as most of them like that style. The Maple Pecan Porter I will probably dig and on paper, there is no way I couldn't like it!

    I have never been that impressed with the Winter pack either, and this is more up my alley.
