Around the holidays, I look for beer variety packs at Costco.
Some years, I’ll grab Samuel Adams’ holiday-themed beer variety pack, which features some of the brand’s seasonal brews. In my opinion, this collection is perfect for pleasing several guests at once.
It pairs timeworn favorites, from the sweet, malty Old Fezziwig and new, trendy cold IPA (which is fermented at lower-than-normal temperatures) to the hazy Holiday White Ale and mocha-kissed Black Lager. It even includes two regular Boston lagers for those who prefer beer that simply tastes like beer.
If I can’t find this seasonal offering before a party, I’ll grab a different variety pack at Costco.
