    10% or less here. Zombie Dust is the only beer in my top ten that can be had for ~$3 a bottle.

    By the case that is $72.00 per rack. I usually buy cases after determining I like something. $72.00 will but just about anything that isn't a Belgian/Trappist or rare stout.

    Wow, I just realized that I am no longer a "cheap date."

    I took a guess, hell I'm not even sure I could narrow down a top ten.

    Tough to say, but my love and high regard of both Aecht Shlenkerla and Weinstephaner products are going to push my percentage down.

    Edit: Small suggestion, you may want to change the title to $3/12 ounces. I wager many of the top ten beers for a variety of BAs are bomber only. So $3 per bottle would be unheard of.

    I'd say the average sixer is around $10 so that's $1.75 a can. That's most of my lineup right there.

    Zombie Dust runs me $12.99/6-pack, or ~$2.17/12oz.

    $18.00 a 6 pack and $12.00 a 4 pack, 90% of my favorite beers are less than that.

    Most of what I'd put in my top 10 is belgian and in 750s usually so no way. If only fou foune was under $3.00.

    Most of my favorites are bombers so this is a little moot but if you consider 25 cents per ounce (3 dollars / 12oz) for bombers that a bomber for 5.50. The answer is still zero.

    Lagunitas Sucks (though to be fair, it's either dropped off recently or I haven't had it fresh recently) and Cricket Hill Small Batch Smoked Rye (if they ever brew it again)

    Most of my favorite local beers are around that price. So about 70 percent. According to the posts I have read I am lucky or I have bad taste.

    Hard question to answer honestly. I voted 80% only to leave room for oddball bombers which totally destroy the question because a 12 ounce beer is always going to be cheaper than a bomber.

    If you are talking about the top ten beers according to my ratings, only one (Central Water's Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Barleywine) comes close at about $12.49 a four pack.

    It really depends what you mean by "top ten". If it's the ten beers I buy most often, it's a different answer than my 10 all-time favorites. I said 20% based on the 10 I buy most often - Fist City and Daisy Cutter.

    I did that with my 60%. Bombers kinda skews the average a bit.

    Top ten is pretty tough and living in PA doesn't help. Founders Porter is probably in my top 10 of regularly available beers but even that would be hard to find for $3 in PA.

    bengali, resin, jai alai, and I think sweet baby jesus*

    That one is really MUCH more because I'd have to travel or trade. but retail is reasonable, if I recall correctly.
