Quick answer
The Cocktail-Inspired Pack bundles two 4-packs of Athletic Brewing Co.'s Moscow Mule and Paloma, offering bright, zesty non-alcoholic brews that mimic classic cocktails without the alcohol.
What makes this pack different from other Athletic Brewing variety packs?
Unlike the Bold Explorer Pack or Mystery Sampler Pack, the Cocktail-Inspired Pack focuses exclusively on two cocktail-style flavors: Moscow Mule and Paloma. Both are light, citrus-forward brews designed to replace a cocktail hour drink rather than a beer. If you're looking for hop-forward IPAs or dark stouts, this pack won't satisfy that craving.
The pack contains two separate 4-packs — one of each flavor — so you get eight total cans. This is a smaller, more focused selection compared to larger variety crates, making it ideal for sampling or short-term enjoyment.
What are the trade-offs of buying this pack?
The main trade-off is limited variety. You only get two flavors, both of which are light and zesty. If you prefer a range of styles — from hoppy to malty — you'd get more value from a mixed pack like the Variety Crate. Also, because these are cocktail-inspired, they may not appeal to traditional beer drinkers who expect a more pronounced malt or hop profile.
The pack is priced at $13.19 (compared to $21.98), which is a good deal for eight cans. However, if you dislike one of the two flavors, you'll be stuck with four cans you may not enjoy.
How to decide if this pack is right for you
- If you want cocktail flavors without alcohol: This pack delivers a Moscow Mule (ginger-lime) and a Paloma (grapefruit-lime) flavor, both light and refreshing. They mimic the experience of a cocktail, not a beer.
- If you're buying for a party or gathering: The two 4-packs give you eight cans, enough for a small group. But since there are only two flavors, consider whether your guests will enjoy both styles. If guests have diverse tastes, a larger variety pack may be safer.
- If you've never tried Athletic Brewing before: This pack is a good entry point if you're curious about non-alcoholic cocktail alternatives. However, if you prefer traditional beer flavors, start with the Flagship Variety Pack instead.
