Best beer with a cheap price

only $7.79 here!

 

Best way to get great brews with a cheap brew is worth homebrew.

Nonhomebrews:
Sierra Nevade Pale ale
Lagunitas sucks
Brooklyn chocolate
Brooklyn Barleywine
Bitburger

 

$10 or more in CT

 

3.59 Hop Stoopid

 

$3 for 500ml Weihenstephaner Hefe/Dunkelweizen at woodman's in kenosha.

 

*I am not currently in MA as my location says, so the $7.79 price is in OK.

 

Its hands down weihenstephan Vitus-2.50-17 ou. bottle 7.7abv and it is a world class beer

 

And Victory Golden Monkey-5.49 750 ml a 9.5 abv -great tasting Belgian Tripel(not the best-La Fin du Monde has that distinction) and if you can get La fin for 7.99 (which I can or less I think it is well worth it) then rip every last bottle off the shelf.

 

I actually agree with this. We get it, here, for $3.50-$4.15, but a world class multi-serving bottle of Weizenbock is a steal in my opinion. I always point customers interested in German's towards it.

...and Tripel Karmeliet on draft is better than La fin du Monde, for arguments sake.

 

I guess when it comes to tripel's-it is a matter of taste-there are hardly any of them that are bad .One thing is anything from Weihenstephan is fantastic as is anything from Unibroue. I think for the price and the taste you will never get anything as consistantly fantastic as W's brews

 

My only gripe is that I wish Korbinian and the Dunkel Hefe came in six packs. But other than that, everything I've had from both breweries are phenomenal.

 

Pretty Things and Jacks Abby are reasonably priced- I don't recall seeing a bomber of Pretty Things for over $9. Jacks Abby pints are fairly priced. I could be incorrect about this, but the quality of these two breweries beers for the price is quite reasonable. I agree with the other posters that Weihenstephaner is a bargain. Beers from Ayinger are priced much higher.

I have paid $12-16 for bombers of beer which didn't match the quality of Jacks Abby and Pretty Things.

 

Hop Notch IPA cans, got a 12 pack for about $12

agree that "cheap" to me basically disqualifies anything sold in a bomber or large format. cheap to me is like $1.50 / 12 ounce or less

 

Any Lagunitas, or Deschutes, six pack.

 

Hop Stoopid
Any Weinstephaner, especially Vitus

 

For overall quality and consistency in the product, ease of access, easy to find and read freshness dates, and a variety of styles I can recommend 2 breweries. Oskar blues and sixpoint. Everything I have had from both breweries has been excellent. And how can you go wrong with their prominent freshness dates? It's not a dollar a can, it's a little more.

 

local stores had sea hag for $8.79.
it's now back up to $9.99

local store had redhook ipa in a 22oz. bomber for $2.99 but they were old and gross. drain pour

stores have 203 and 860 by stony creek brewing (contracted out of thomas hooker) for $8.99 a six pack . the beer is gross even when its fresh. drain pour.

most things that are discounted are garbage and should be drain poured. I love drain pouring!!

 

I get FBS 4 packs for $8.99. That's my favorite beer at a price no one would turn down.

 

Most of the prices in this thread aren't what I consider "cheap." I think "cheap" beer has to roll in at under a buck a bottle/can, but that's just me.

Yuengling Black & Tan is a good cheap beer. If you want a case of something passable for under $20, this is it.

 

On hot days this summer I have been drinking Reissdorf Kolsch, basically a better version of what passes for light beer. As far as what is "cheap," everybody has their own definition but 500ml (~17oz) bottles are $3.99 which isn't Busch cheap but a lot less than much of what I typically buy.
