Black Oak Mix 4 Packs

Post by TheSevenDuffs »

Just read on North American Craft's Facebook page that Black Oak Mix 4 Packs are coming out next month.

They will include:
Pale Ale
Nut Brown
Summer Saison
10 Bitter Years

Not bad! Doesn't say if this will be LCBO, TBS or both.

Same. I enjoy the Pale ale and Nut brown, and if those are the "least interesting" beers in any mix pack, then you know it's quality.

Ditto on the Mill Streets.

I'd buy multiples of this depending on the price. Just to get access to 10 BY

Best retail news I've heard in a while. I'll always have at least one in my fridge!

I asked Ken about this the other day, and he said that there's still some work to be done in terms of packaging design, etc. So might be a bit longer before we see 'em in stores.

They're also looking at some other packaging options for limited/one-off beers, such as bombers, but as with anything in early stages, it may or may not happen.

Yeah, he said early/mid August when I picked up the 10BY last week or two ago.

I suspect we'll see the Oktoberfest in it's place.

Too bad, was looking forward to having the Saison easily available this summer...
