Dundee Beer - Assortment Pack

I am always skeptical of inexpensive 12-packs and even more so about "assortment" packs. I was at my local market (Market Street in N. Dallas) and have seen the Dundee pack for some time, but I typically skip it for a trusted IPA or amber ale.

Today, I picked up the pack because I have some inexperienced beer drinkers coming over tomorrow and I was not about to buy a conventional 12 or 24-pack of American beer (Why, oh why, can't they sell a suitcase of Bridgeport IPA!). Still, I wanted somethi… Continue
