Beer column: Diversify your portfolio with the Summer Voyage mixed pack

Sometimes it’s just hard to choose what you want at the liquor store.

If you’re anything like me and love to buy four packs of craft beer, there have likely been many occasions where you’ve walked into a store looking to buy one pack of beer and walked out with three.

The issue, at least for me, is that there are so many exciting options to choose from, and when I see them laid out in front of me it's far too difficult to just chose one type of beer.

That means an expected $20 or less total at the register for a single four pack of beer quickly turns into thrice that much as I walk out with 12 cans and three different varieties.

The reason I’m saying all of this is that the new Summer Voyage mixed pack from Lighthouse Brewing Company might be the perfect solution to this issue.

It’s a four pack with a quartet of different exciting creations from the Victoria brewery, offering up a nice dose of variety without having to commit to a more traditional mixed pack that is usually eight or more beers.

Lighthouse calls it “a fresh mix of easy-going brews built for warm days and unplanned adventures.”

Here’s what you can expect in the Summer Voyage mixed pack, along with their ABVs (alcohol by volume):

  • Raspberry Lime Pilsner (5%) -- Light and crisp with raspberry sweetness and a refreshing hint of lime.
  • Salted Lime Mexican Lager (4.7%) -- Bright and citrusy with a touch of pink Himalayan salt.
  • Pineapple Hazy Pale Ale (5.5%) -- Juicy and tropical with notes of pineapple, mango, and passionfruit.
  • Tropical Sour (6.7%) -- Tart, fruit-forward and refreshingly bold.

With a nice selection of different beers that are all meant to be enjoyed in the sun, this little mixed pack is the perfect grab-and-go solution for your summer fun.

You can find Lighthouse’s Summer Voyage mixed pack in many BC Liquor Stores across the province, as well as some private stores that focus on craft beer.
