I think its the Brouwerij Van Steenberge 6 pack that comes every year. The standouts are Gulden Draak and Piraat, the rest are ok (Bornem Dubbel, Tripel, Augustjin and Brugel)

Augustjin and the Dubbel are really good

For once I have nothing bad to say about this release. Really excited to snatch some of these "gift packs" up for myself

I do buy this every year, the dubbel and tripel are pretty good. It is a great introduction to a wide variety of Belgian styles - Belgian Strong, dubbel, tripel, Belgian IPA, Abbey, and the 2 Belgian Pales.

Starting to show up now. I saw Fullers, the Belgian mix pack, Sammy Smith, Jenlain, Bah Humbug, Christoffel, La Chouffe, and maybe a couple of others.

Mill Street just posted pics of their gift sets on Facebook. The best one, by far is the Cofee Porter one which comes with one bottle of CP and a nice looking Mill Street branded tulip glass.

They had a few at FCP today, none that I'm interested in (no Chouffe, Fuller's, etc.). The Sam Smiths has shot up in price - $17.50!

Got 5 Fuller's Vintage today, 2 Bah Humbugs, and the Erdinger Gift Pack. I also saw the La Choueffe, a ton of other gift packs (no Mill Street or St. Bernardus though) and the Christoffel jugs.
