    I will echo your sentiment. I've never had SN's Kolsch and would very much like to try it in this years pack. Like you mentioned, I can grab Otra Vez or Nooner whenever I please.

    I will join those voting/begging for the Kolsch to be included! It was my favorite beer in last summer's variety pack.

    I liked the Beer Camp hoppy lager well enough but I'm not clamoring for its return.

    I'd like Summer Sampler of:
    Kolsch
    Otra Vez
    Glissade (or Nooner)
    Pale Ale

    Big fan of Hoppy Lager so it would be a welcome return. Don't want to see Kolsch leave. This summer's variety pack was an awesome one between Kellerweis, Pale Ale, Kolsch, and Nooner Pilser. My go to pack last summer.

    Yeah I was hoping - Hoppy Lager,Kolsch, New Session,Keller or PA.

    I tried Otra Vez and it is not for me.

    I agree, the summer pack and summerfest need to be cans only. I rarely see summerfest cans in my area.

    Dig all the love for kolsch -- really enjoyed it last year. Hopefully it swings back into the rotation eventually.

    Good keep the Kolsch out of the variety pack - it deserves to be a new year rounder!

    I'd buy the Kolsch and kellerweis (if anyone ever stocked it by me) every week. I would buy a session ipa - never. Nooner is no match for Summerfest. I hope SN reconsiders.

    For some reason I rarely saw Sumerfest in bottles or cans last summer. Nooner was everywhere. SF > Nooner for me.

    Haven't had the gose yet (not sure I like the style anyway) but I think Kolsch is one of the best beers SN makes. And I love this style, unfortunately there are not many decent Kolsch beers available year round by me. I think a part of the market SN could easily dominate.

    If you close enough to PA, or know somebody who lives there, keep an eye out for Straub. They included a fantastic Kolsch in their Sunshine Sampler last year (the other stuff was really good, too, btw).

    I almost forgot about Glissade. I really liked that, and it's been years since it's been around. I'll sign the petition to include it.

    Yes. One of the few mistakes SN has made.....thinking Nooner would be the seller over Summerfest. Now I see Nooner in cans gathering dust all over the place.
