What does your favourite commercial beer cost?

[DannyD]

You know how they sometimes pin the value of currency on the price of a Mcdonalds burger in different countries? Lets try that......with beer? but name your own favourite commercial beer and price

 

[DannyD]

Here in South africa we have "Castel" and "Black lable" lager, both similar, the later just a bit more malty/sweet.
Cost R7.50 (rands) .............+/- $1 for 340ml

 

[mlg5039]

Most of the really good craft brews here are 7.99-10.99 for a six pack of 12 oz. bottles. 22oz. bombers range from $4.99-$12.99 depending on what you want.

I have many favorites...



One example:

Fuller's ESB is $9.99/six pack where I buy beer.

 

[ArcaneXor]

Cantillon Iris - priceless, since it's not distributed here.

 

[jbsg02]

Not my FAVORITE beer, but I just bought a 6-pack of Rogue Dead Guy Ale to compare with my clone that will be ready soon and paid $15 after tax, YIKES, makes me appreciate my homebrew that much more

 

[phenry]

I'd say of my favorites, the average price per 6 pack is somewhere between $10-$11

 

[Boodlemania]

This, sitting in the shade in the Kloster's biergarten. Price? Unobtainable here in the states.

Nearly all craft and imports tend to be $8.50 / 6 in Rhode Island. If I'm buying a standard beer, it's usually Magic Hat #9 or Harpoon UFO White, or an English or Irish import.

There are exceptions that cost more or less (e.g. big name imports like Bass or Newcastle on sale).


----> see, you CAN save money brewing beer: $68 vs $30 ingredient cost (plus $40 aggregate equipment cost and it's just like buying beer :cross. I'm not sure what cases cost - I don't usually buy that much at one time (unless it has fancy "silver bullet" packaging).

My favorite beer right now is SN Torpedo IPA. The sixer I bought last night was $8.99.

 

[deremer]

I like to get SNPA for 24.99 and Stone IPA for 33.99 a case at Costco

 

[DannyD]

absolutly wicked that you guys can buy beer at supermarkets!! we need to go to bottle stores that has 9-5 hours and colsed on sundays! takes some planing sometimes!

 

[samc]

My favorites change all the time, usually something hoppy like a Green Flash West Coast IPA or the IPA included in Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp 12 pack recently which was about $1.50 per bottle. Double Mountain in Hood River makes a nice IRA which is not available in bottles, so I had to brew something.

The great thing about brewing at home is you can create something similar and enjoy 5-10 gallons of that beer for $.20 - $.60 a glass. So in the end the price of commercial beer doesn't mean all that much to me as I usually only buy a bottle at a time in the name of research.

Breckenridge 471 smal batch Imperial IPA, cost $14.99 a sixer here, love it but don't buy it very often.

 

[onthekeg]

For the price of 12 double cheeseburgers from the dollar menu at McD's, I can have a 4pk of Surly Furious.

 

[Mexicanconnection2002]

Cigar City Jai Alai IPA 6 pack $9.99
Bell Expedition Stout 6 pack $16.99

 

[BrewerinBR]

Bell's Two Hearted Ale $9.99 plus $1.20 bottle deposit (which I don't get back cause I keep and reuse the bottles)

 

[strat_thru_marshall]

Stone Ruination was $15.99/6pk when I bought some this weekend down in Texas.

 

[dime1622]

Unibroue La Fin du Monde: about $9.50 for a 750 mL bottle.
Franziskaner Hefe: $9.00 for a 6-pack

 

[40watt]

A four pack of Chimay was 25 bucks in Duncan, Ok. Yikes!

 

[EddieB428]

Saranac Pale Ale - $7.99/6 pack
Went for variety yesterday and picked up one of their Trail Mix 6 packs knowing I'd like the Black & Tan, PA, and IPA. Been about 15 years since I had the Black Forest and Brown Ale so couldn't remember if I liked them or not. Now to figure out something to do with the Adirondack Lager (not a big lager fan).

Unibroue La Fin du Monde: about $9.50 for a 750 mL bottle

That's some good stuff...have to find someone that carries it around here.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

Lately I've been buying alot of well's bombardier and fuller's ESB. Well's is $8.99/4 14.9 oz cans. Fuller's is $11.99/6 ok bottles.

I love homebrew.

 

[cwyeary]

Surly Furious 4 pint cans for 10.99

 

[FlussigesBrot]

I'm addicted to Maui Brewing's Big Swell I.P.A. - $9.99 for 6pack (12oz cans). Just visited their brewpub in Lahaina and loved the Belgian IPA too.

Cheers.

 

[McBrewskie]

$9-$15 for my favorites. Racer is on the lower end, thought Hop Rod Rye is $8 a four pack. Ruination and Oaked Arrogant 13-15 a six pack.

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

Um, the last 6 pack I bought was Leffe and it was $9.99. I think. For commercial beer the wife and I usually hit Central Market where we can do a mix 6 pack so we pay a little more to be able to break up a regular six pack and just take 1-2 beers from it.

 

[LarryC]

My favorites seem to change frequently but the good stuff starts at 7.99 a sixer (not many at that price) and head on up to 9.99 for a four pack (seems to be more craft beers selling that way).

 

[neko]

I usually just see what's on sale for $6.99 a six pack. It rotates around, but with deschutes, bridgeport, full sail, Alaskan, some widmer, Sierra Nevada and others to choose from I can't complain. Sometimes I'll break the bank and spend $7.99

I love the rogue garage sales. Last time I got a case of 12 750ml bottles for $27. That was for the double mocha porter too!

 

[bottlebomber]

Lately im stuck on Duvel, which at Trader Joes comes in at 8.99 for a 750ml bottle

 

[Tholan]

2<3d is $9.99 a 6er. The German stuff is $2.69 a half liter.
