    Grabbed one six pack last year. I liked it. Never saw it again though.

    It was available in the Bay Area last year. I saw it doing searches but never tried it although I would like to.

    I’m still trying to find Dankful in my area. One well respected craft store said they were only given 1 case a few weeks ago and it sold out in a few days. Been to a few other stores and not found.

    anyone remember the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp from a few years back. (12 different beers / style in collaboration with brewers around the country/world)? Man that was such great fun as a craft beer advocate. And at the time (5years ago maybe?)I though paying $26 for a 12 pack was really steep. Now I can’t even walk out of the store with a mixed 6er of singles for under $25. Usually $30-$35 for 6 singles if it includes a few 16oz hazies tossed in that are $5-7 each. Kiddies, those were the days!

    Hmm, this beer is readily available at my local beer retailers (SEPA). I wonder if the Wholesale Distributor in your area is not ordering much of Dankful since it is not a popular IPA sub-style for today's contemporary IPA beer consumers (e.g., the Haze Bros)?
    I sure do, I always purchased these collaboratively brewed mix-packs. FWIW I found the products to be quite 'uneven' (e.g., some of the brands were mediocre) and over-priced but I kept buying them anyway.
    For a loooong time I refused to purchase mix-a-six beers since for the most part they were where old beers were placed to get rid of old stock. A BA 'educated' me that my local Wegmans was placing non-old beers in the singles section and over the past few months I have been buying more and more mix-a-six packs. The fact that they are priced at $12 for six-pack is a definite plus. I typically purchase beers that cost more than $12 a six-pack to place in my mix-a-six but every once in a while I place a 'cheaper' beer in there that I would like to try one of.

    Cheers!

    Beer Camp Across The World. Yup I bought two of those and really enjoyed them. Some beers were better than others, but all were quite drinkable.

    One of the best things about that box was that only 3 of the 12 beers were IPAs. The other 9 were all different styles. It really made for a varied and enjoyable drinking experience.

    This always happens, I post I can't find a beer locally on BA then the next time I go to the store I find it (I think its karma or something). Drinking a Dankful as well speak (find it ok but not great..read my review if you have time). Just glad I have 6 beers for <$12 for rest of the week (well 5 and 1/2 now to be specific) :-)

    Apparently you should do this more often!?!:wink:
    It would appear that your palate is quite different from mine:

    "Overall:

    This beer is very good. The complex hop flavors play very well together....
