Narragansett is putting out some surprisingly fun stuff lately.

Totally agree! Just super surprised to see so many fun seasonals. I'm here for it, though! Hope you had a great holiday season! Cheers!

Back at you, Gregory! Can't go wrong with Revolution, IMO. Hope whatever you drank, you thoroughly enjoyed it. I also hope you and yours had a Happy New Year, sir! Cheers!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Didn't have this beer yet - will look for it. Was at the Sabres/Hawks game - Let's Go Buffalo!! Grew up in Chicago - so glad to see the Hawks on the ice....CHEERS

[@averagejoe716]

Awesome, man! I'm numb to the losing from the Sabres. Still watch every game (usually DVR it), but it's getting tougher and tougher each year. Good thing it's just sports, haha! This is a good one, and perfect for the season! Hope you and the fam had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, brother! Cheers!

Narragansett Fest Marzen Lager and The Autocrat Coffee Milk Stout used to be in 16 oz can 6 packs for many years but this year they switched to 4 packs. The Bing Crosby White Christmas Winter Warmer debuted last year in 16 oz can 4 packs but this year they switched it to 12 oz can 6 packs. Not sure what the reasoning was behind these changes but obviously a change from 6 packs to 4 packs is bad for the consumer but a change from 4 packs to 6 packs is obviously good but it hardly ever happens. I paid $13.99 for the 6 pack btw. I'd say if you like winter warmers then its ok but if you arent a huge fan of them then its probably too high. So yeah the Bing Crosby was ok for the style but its not a style I get excited about so I wouldnt get it again for that price.

I always find it weird when breweries release 16 fl. oz cans in six packs. Sucks they did that originally and then went to four packs, but it makes sense to me. Best to avoid doing stuff like that from the start, though. So many breweries over the years have changed six packs of bottles to four packs and kept the price the same, and people get upset, so I understand why you get frustrated when that happens. As for the beer itself, you're right in that it's not the best in the style, but it's a damn fine beer. I've been surprised by the quality and variety of Narragansett beers. I'm glad I became more hip to them. Still need to try the Marzen and Autocrat at some point, assuming I see them at some point. Hope you and yours have a Happy New Year, Chaz! Cheers!

@@averagejoe716 I think they did the Bing Crosby last year in 16 oz 4 packs as a more limited release which is why you didnt see it last year and they switched formats and made it a more wider release this year which is why you saw it this year. Im speculating but it makes sense to me. I did see it last year but I didnt buy it.

[@averagejoe716]

I can see that, then. Makes sense.
