    Founders Breakfast
    Founders Backwoods Bastard
    Ten Fidy
    Sixpoint Hi-Res
    Captain Lawrence Seeking Alpha
    Victory At Sea (now that it's in 12 ozers)


    Though, as soon as they bring back Sucks in 12 ozers, I replace Hi-Res with it... Hi-Res is a great beer, but Sucks blows my mind

    At Kroger today: Lagunitas IPA, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen, Deschutes Mirror Pond IPA, Sweetwater IPA, Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA. Had to put the Lagunitas and Sierra Nevada on opposite sides of the sixer. Lagunitas wouldn't behave. I said "Don't make me come in there" but it didn't work.

    no stores around me do a mix 6 pack that I know of, but a number of them sell single 12oz bottles that you can make your own 6pack (or 1 pack, 2 pack, 3 pack, 4 pack, 5 pack) but they charge per bottle so the 6 pack is usually $15+

    Earlier this week at Total Wine:
    Firestone Union & Double Jack, Green Flash Palate Wrecker, Victory Hop Ranch, Hangar 24 Betty IPA & Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Hoppy Lager.
    All excellent beers, except for the Hoppy Lager which I haven't gotten to yet.

    2. Boulevard Dark Truth

    3. Maui Coconut Porter

    4. Alaskan ESB

    Hmm... If my local Kroger suddenly decided to start offering mixed six-packs, I'd probably end up with something like this (pretty much just "a bunch of beers I've seen in the store and considered trying, but haven't gotten to yet.")

    1: New Belgium Portage
    2: New Belgium Slow Ride
    3: Something from Sierra Nevada, probably the Pale Ale since I haven't had one yet
    4: Something from Devil's Backbone... there's always at least a few from them available since I live so close to the brewery, but so far I've only gotten around to trying the Vienna Lager.
    5: Something from Highland Brewing... I see the Gaelic Ale, Oatmeal Porter and Mocha Stout every time I'm at the store but usually I don't have the money (or sometimes, the fridge space) for a new six-pack at the time so I haven't yet gotten around to any of them
    6: Finally, one of whatever other random thing stands out to me at the time! (There are a lot more than six beers on that Kroger's refrigerated shelf-thingies that I want to try, so it's hard to narrow it down. XD)

    I'm guessing the list would be a bit different if I made a six-pack at the local beer/wine store--they seem to have a wider (or at least drastically different--I don't think I recall seeing any Miller Lite or similar in there, for example) selection there, and I've seen beer in there from breweries like Bell's and Founders that I see mentioned on this site all the time, but have never seen in the grocery stores around here. Same goes for the imported beers--I noticed a good bit of stuff that I've heard of but just doesn't show up in the grocery stores, like fruit lambics.
