Jobu Needs Rum
Grabbed these today.
6 pk Avery Old Jubilation Ale
4 pk Evil Twin Christmas Eve in a New York Hotel Room Imperial Stout
1 750ml Affligem Noël
Got these over the weekend.
6 pk Boulevard Nutcracker Ale
6 pk Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
6 pk Deschutes Jubelale
6 pk Widmer Brothers Brrr Winter Warmer
6 pk Big Sky Powder Hound
12 pk Samuel Adams Winter Collection (Old Fezziwig Ale, Winter Lager, White Christmas
I don't know why SA cut the styles down in these from 6 to 4 this year, like they did in the Fall (cutting one of their best brews, imo, Hazel Brown), taking out Chocolate Bock (this is supposedly only in the 24 packs now) and Holiday Porter was a mistake. All the while keeping their standard Boston Lager in, I don't understand it. These packs should be specialty, seasonal brews only. This pack should have their Old Fezziwig, Black & Brew, Holiday Porter, Chocolate Bock, Cream Stout, and Winter Lager...with a couple trading out each year for something new/different. Sierra Nevada does the same thing, puts their regular Pale Ale in their snow packs when I'm looking for something seasonal, not something I can get everywhere year round.
So with all of this and the other winter beer I already had (Delirium Noel, Carolus Noel, Affligem Noel, 2013 SA Merrymaker Gingerbread Stout), I'm ready to put a mixed case or so together to take up and share for holiday parties out of town.
