Packing the Bold Explorer Pack: What's Inside and How to Use It

Quick answer

The Athletic Brewing Bold Explorer Pack includes four distinct non-alcoholic beers: All Out, Atlética, Wit's Peak, and Run Wild IPA. Use it as a tasting flight, a portable travel set, or a thoughtful gift for someone exploring craft NA beer.

How to use the Bold Explorer Pack

1. 1. Check the pack contents: Open the box and verify you have one can each of All Out Stout, Atlética Golden Ale, Wit's Peak Witbier, and Run Wild IPA. Each can is 12 oz. Common mistake: assuming all four are IPAs. They are not—each has a different malt and hop profile.
2. 2. Chill all four beers before tasting: Place the cans in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve at 38–45°F for the best flavor. Pour each into a separate glass to compare appearance and aroma. Checkpoint: if you’re short on time, a 30-minute ice bath works, but avoid shaking the cans.
3. 3. Taste in order from lightest to darkest: Start with Wit's Peak (light, citrusy), then Run Wild IPA (hoppy), then Atlética (malty), and finish with All Out (rich, smooth). This prevents the heavier flavors from overwhelming the lighter ones. Common mistake: drinking the stout first. It will coat your palate and mute the delicate notes of the witbier.
4. 4. Use the pack for travel or gifting: The compact box fits easily in a carry-on or gift bag. For travel, pack it in a cooler with ice packs. For gifting, add a note explaining the tasting order. Checkpoint: if gifting, remove the price tag and consider pairing with a glass from Athletic Brewing Co. merchandise.
