    My local Kappy's Liquor store has a nice brew section available where consumers have the option from a variety of 6 packs and singles.

    You can also mix and match, choosing any 6 beers you want whether they are sold individually or in a 6.

    Build a 6, keep it reasonable based on your local availability.

    Hypothetical or Actual? Because I'm going hypothetical (and I hope 16.9oz bottles are allowed because I'm throwing a couple into my hypothetical mixed 6)

    Grey Sail - Captain's Daughter
    Maine Beer Co. - Another One
    Founders - Imperial Stout
    Jack's Abby - Kiwi Rising
    Dogfish Head - Palo Santo Marron
    De Dolle - Stille Nacht

    Yeah...that'd make for a delicious couple of days.

    Used to do it a lot, a solid way of getting a good variety. Now the growler station keeps me pretty occupied, especially the ones with 18-24 plus tap handles.

    Talk about taking advantage of the variety a mix a six offers.

    That's an excellent lineup.

    Hey Reek! You should run over to One Stop Market in Haverhill. They let you do your own six packs. $9.99 including deposit.

    I'm still sort of wondering what the OP wanted, or what "reasonable based on local availability" means in his or my context. But anyway, I feel the need to chime in (natch). 2 kinds of mix-6 that I can easily get.
    Expensive kind: Go to great bottle shop that has over 100 rotating singles in their mix-6 area, but each bottle is individually priced -- you get 5% off the total for your 6. See stuff like 120 Minute, Pt5, etc. but you pay $15-$25 for the 6. Fun for experienced drinkers who are smart to test these as singles before delving into larger purchases, but not a "deal" by any other sense.
    Non-Expensive kind: Go to big market with almost 200 options in their mix-6 area, any 6 for a straight price of $9.99 where I live. Perfect for people newer to craft, explore your styles, save a buck here and there. Also good for experienced drinkers, as you want to peruse this every time you're in the store, and see if some higher-ABVs jumped into the rotation for a cheap grab. Of the 200 options 140 of them are swill or extremely dated, or stuff you've had a million times already. But you are like me, and you always look (and you scorn the a-holes who thieve bottles from the shelves and jam them into mix-6's just to scam the store -- and the store is stupid for not designating mix-6-eligible bottles with a sticker, but that's their problem, whereas the a-holes have to live with their consciences).
    My latest 9.99 mixer was:
    Left Hand Fade To Black
    Bell's Amber
    Ballast Point Big Eye
    AndersonValley Hop Ottin
    Uinta Dubhe
    Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous
