Although I don’t often drink alcohol, I do enjoy beer. When I drink beer I really enjoy a beer taster which, if you’re unfamiliar, is 4 to 6 beers 3-5 ounces each.
The key to a beer taster is that it allows me the opportunity to taste a number of different brands. Well, a few weeks ago I hosted some out-of-town guests so I went to purchase some beer and noticed the coolest thing! A sampler six pack! The six pack was comprised of 3 different varieties of beer, 2 bottles of each. This was the first time I had seen this and loved the idea! Of course, I bought the variety pack (pictured here) and I am really excited to share it with my guests.
- Have you ever seen a beer sampler six pack?
- What do you think of the idea?
- Do they have a wine sampler pack?
- If they don’t have a wine sampler pack, should they?
I look forward to reading your comments!

Hey ma – look at that big orange orb in the sky…
When you aren’t in the market for cheap, mass-produced beer, anything is possible.
What you are showing above is from a microbrewery, or, as we’re calling it these days apparently, a craft brewer.
Now while you can get a 12 or 24-pack sampler at most grocery stores (Saranac does a lot of these), places like Trader Joe’s allows you to make your own – just take a six-pack and fill it up with whatever strikes your fancy. In your neck of the woods, I would imagine Central Market would do the same thing as they have a fantastic beer selection.

If ya’ll like a variety of brew, then come up to Bellingham, WA where we have 6 brew pubs, while the remaining bars and pubs provide a large selection of “crafted brews” from in and around the Pacific Northwest. The local Kroger subsidiary, Fred Meyer, has two enormous refrigerated beer aisles that feature everything from the most obscure label in Whatcom County to good old PBR.

Matt is funny. Yes, mix and match beer is everywhere and has been for years.
