Anybody aware of breweries that offer them? I hate buying a 4 or 6 pack of something and discovering I don't like it. I found one from New Glarus, it had Moon Man, Spotted Cow,, Fat Squirrel all Ales, and a lager, Two Women.

New Belgium offers a sampler 12. I have seen sam adams samplers, as well as schells.

yes, it can be handy to mix up a six. at my cold beer store....I asked my main guy if he had ever tried "such and such", he said he had not and asked me if id like to try it. he grabbed one out of a six, cracked it open at the counter and poured 2 glasses. I bought a six and I imagine the other five went to the mix and match area. what a nice option!!!! :)

More than once, I have found 12-packs with 3 each of 4 styles, and one or two are pretty unremarkable. C'est la vie.

I wish Shell's would offer their Light in a sampler. It's the only light I have ever found enjoyable.

New Belgium's samplers are always welcome. They seem to put out different product every other week.

I just saw where Summit is offering their Unchained #21-Us & Them in a sixer, 3 bottles of each. Trying to get our local muni to get some, along with their 30th Anniversary DIPA.

A couple of places in the area offer the "build your own six," but the selections are large and don't rotate quickly enough. Gotta watch your dates, printed on some packaging, especially for the PAs.
