Most Hop-Bang Per Buck Commercial Beer?

[alexdagrate]

Just got back from Costco with a 24 pack of BridgePort's Hop Czar (7.5%, 87 IBUs) for $23 (not including tax).

This works out to 90.78 IBUs per $. Or, conversely, 1.1 cents per IBU. (Assuming 12 ounce servings).

Then I got to wondering, I like big, hoppy brews, but I am also cheap.

What's the best IBU per Dollar value out there?

I understand that IBU listings are often subjective or even false, but it's still the best metric for this discussion.

If you think the IBUs listed by most high-hop beers are bunk, I'm still interested to hear what commercial beer gives you the most hop bang for your buck.

Well if you want the most bitterness for your dollar, I would avoid beer entirely as there are far more bitter liquids available at your neighborhood grocery.

For hop character the bang for your buck champion is Hop Stoopid.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo is usually a couple bucks cheaper per six pack that most other craft beers here in the east coast.
