    Would you rather have a 6-pack of very good beer or a 22 oz. bottle of excellent/great beer?

    Bomber - no doubt.

    the Bomber most likely might depend on the sixer

    There is a level of "very good" such that I'd be indifferent.

    I don't think I've ever faced that choice. I just go with the excellent six packs, myself.

    There are just too many great beers out there to "waste" my money on good/very good beers.

    bomber. I'm all about quality over quantity. Likely I'd stretch it to 2 days by wedging a cork in it anyway.

    Sixer. 22's are a stupid format. I absolutely hate them. I only buy 22's when a given is only available in that format.

    I'd go with a sixer as long as it wasn't an IPA.

    Bombers are usually a rip off compared to sixers, so spending money on a bomber already leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. Therefore, I'll actually enjoy the taste of the 72 ounces of "very good beer" more than the comparatively overpriced single 22 ounce bottle of "excellent/great" beer anyways. I'll take the sixer any day, thank you.

    I love a bomber and I'd take it over the 6pk if it was of greater quality, but I wish 12oz bottles would be more readily available. There are things that I'd like to have multiples of, but I don't have the room for 4 years worth of 22's.

    Too many variables to answer, but I'd honestly just like a 12 oz. of great beer, even if that isn't an option you provided.

    i find it hard sometimes to open a bomber of big beer on a weekday. I would love to have some of those things in 12oz bottles.

    I would rather have a 6 pack personally I have bought plenty bombers but if given a choice I wouldn't.
