    I still don't see why this country refuses to use metric. 10-packs all around!

    So you would rather pay $18 for a 6 pack of a dipa, ris, etc than $12 for a 4-pack? Seems like the same thing too me.

    But then they'd be 10 oz. beers, wouldn't they?:wink:

    Almost had me with that one. I think it would be liters. A ten-pack of liter bottles? I'm in.

    That does sound pretty American- supersize me as well.

    Haaaa. Oh, man. Then I'd basically never buy a beer stronger than 5% ABV ever again. Oy, vey.

    Personally I prefer Bombers/750s and 4-packs to 6 packs in MOST cases because I prefer to buy a variety of beers rather than a lot of one beer, but perhaps I'm in the minority here?

    That's where the mix sixers come into play.

    I received a five pack of Hopslam last Friday from a coworker who didn't like it, bummer

    I definitely agree with 4 packs.

    I would agree with bombers if they were priced a lot more affordably. If they could be resealed too, that would great. (and i know there are some option in regard to resealing)

    I still miss Trommer's White Label Beer Family-Paks of 10 bottles. (It's All Malt & Hops, you know.)

    Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone tried resealing a 22 or 750 with one of those wine pump and rubber corks? I searched forums but did not see anything addressing this.

    Can't win them all, I guess. I'm not too worried as I've only had one sixer of Red's Rye ever. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed it, but would rather drink many other IPA's before re-visiting it. I might grab a fresh sixer before they disappear just to say good-bye!

    Mix a six is a viable option. My point is that two equally good beers that cost about the same and are equal in production cost should come in the same size carton. I have turned away from trying certain beers because I feel like the brewer kept two of my beers for themselves! I say destroy the four pack before it destroys us!!!

    Captain Lawrence entered the 12 oz. market with eight different beers so far, all in reasonably priced 6 paks, so the battle against 4 paks, if there is one, isn't lost yet.

    Mixed four pak isn't as poetic as a mix six.

    or more commonly in my experience, the grocery checker tells you, "We can only sell 6-packs."

    This has been discussed often and is an excellent solution. Sometimes the beer is better the next day without excessive carbonation.
