![]() Like what so often happens in politics, when you have too many people involved in a decision you’re often left with the safest option on the table at the end of the day in an attempt to please everyone involved. This is what I personally believe happened here (I have zero proof of this). ![]() In comparison to the previous collaboration, it’s as if there were too many people involved. Have you ever been in a meeting with a bunch of people trying to come to a consensus on something? Even something as simple as a place to eat? It’s utter chaos sometimes and you are always held back by the weakest link or most stubborn person. Don’t get me wrong, at least five of these beers were good creations, but I believe there was a lot left on the table that could have gone into making them that much better. I truly believe that this year’s Beer Camp collaborations should have been a work of art in a glass, or a finely carved sculpture for my palate, but instead to be honest they kind of fell far and flat of those expectations. ![]() When looking at the list of breweries involved in making each beer, quite frankly I hoped that since there was such a great selection of talent and creative people involved that they couldn’t possibly brew anything other than six of the best beers on the shelves in 2016! I decided to review these in one single post this year in order to collect my thoughts on this pack as a whole and also reflect upon the idea that perhaps this year there were too many cooks in the kitchen to make something truly great instead we were simply left with a reasonably decent – slightly high priced – double six pack of beer. This year’s Beer Camp collaboration featured 30 different breweries (plus Sierra Nevada) divided and teamed into geographical regions who were then tasked to produce a single collaboration beer as a group. Relying upon the success of the 2014 Beer Camp Collaboration 12 Pack of Beers (all of which I reviewed individually here), the 2016 version was reduced from twelve to six unique beers typically sold in a $25 pack that contained two of each beer, making it great for splitting with someone.
