    Really enjoyed the Earl of Brixom, tasty beer. Reminded me of a mini Magician.
    For some reason, I was picking up Diacytel in the Chinaski...
    Honey Badger, not my style.
    Chocolate Wheat is always an interesting, good winter beer.

    This is the best variety pack yet, in my very humble opinion--I feel every one was a solid tasting brew that I personally enjoyed.

    Diacytel in the Howlin', eh? Interesting, for that's the one that has impressed me the most. I did not pick up any off-flavors, but will have to revisit again.

    This batch of Chocolate Wheat is the most flavorful I've ever tasted in a bottle. Gotta love that new mill.

    Really enjoyed the Chocolate Wheat and Howlin' Chinaski. Earl of Brixom was a tasty session ale. And while I really liked Bludgeon Yer Eye, I felt like there was simply too much going on with Honey Badger. Boozy and not enough balance for the hops and bitter roasted malts. It certainly wasn't a drain pour, just not as good as a couple of the other offerings in this pack.

    Will have myself the Honey Badger and Earl of Brixom tomorrow to complete the... quadfecta? That's a thing, right?

    I saw singles today at a store i hate to shop at (had a hour to kill before dinner with the wife). All were 1.89 except honey badger which was at 2.29. Any reason for different prices besides this store and their sucky-ness?

    Honey Badger is worth the extra, best in box imo..

    Can't say that I have a reason for that.

    Makes sense that a store would do this, I'm fortunate that the shop I go to doesn't. Seriously, $2 for Mystery Stout? INSANITY.

    Finished my Earl of Brixom, currently sipping on my Honey Badger... yet again, Short's shows why they're probably my favorite brewery. They don't necessarily make World Class beer, but they make a bunch of damn good ones across a TON of styles, while offering an experimental flair on most of them.

    Tasty!
