12x12 is a new series dedicated to reviewing 12-packs of 12 ounce cans or bottles. Inspired by my guide to garage beer, 12-packs are often the workhorse of the beer fridge. The beer you bring to a cookout or grab on the way to a party. This series honors craft flagships, seasonal classics, and imported examples of classic styles.
Beers included: Thunder Funk IPA

Initial impression: After reviewing a sample pack for my first 12 x 12 review I wanted to review a 12-pack of one beer. I picked this 12-pack up at a liquor store in Salem with a modest craft beer selection. I was on my way back from Notch. Having some IPAs in the fridge would be a nice contrast to the cans of lager I had just picked up.
