You did it again. You made some great beers, but why did you put pale ale in the snow pack? How about celebration? That would make sense. I'm liking the boomerang IPA. 

 

Cheers!

Yeah Celebration would be really nice in this pack. Even the fall pack had pale ale in it. To be honest I'm not a fan of the Boomerang, will try it again though. Just don't think I like the Australian hops.

Freaking excellent.

Since I am not the one to say it every year I will come out and say it this time. This years Celebration seems lacking in complexity of hop aroma and flavor. Despite the white chunks floating in every 6-er of Cele. I bought last year I thought the hop character was really quite superb. Not so much this year. Its good but not great and not like it can be sometimes. Anyways, my $.02

 

BTW I'll repeat my discontent for the SN Fall Pack having Pale that was 3 months old at the time of my purchase. Keeps me from getting excited about this new "Pack" which again appears to have been stuffed with Pale.

I thought Celebration this year was better than last years version. Best one in a while for me.

Ha. Who knows?  Just had the one so maybe it was just me that night. I should probably wait until I get through the 6-er but that was my impression from the first one.

Celebration was sold out or I'd have got that instead. One of my favorite beers.

I didn't like the Boomerang all that much, and I didn't like the Coffee Stout as much as I had hoped.

 

I think most breweries put their flagship beer into every seasonal mix 12 pack. Sam Adams certainly does. Boston Lager comes in every one. Still, I agree that SNPA needs to stay out of those mix packs.

 

 

Someone mentioned the SNPA in the fall pack being old. I thought that about the Torpedo that was in those IPA packs earlier in the year. All of the others were fantastic, but the Torpedo was always oxidized. I bought a number of those from various locations.

Perfect way to clear excess inventory!
