    Some of the best beers are in Bombers and 750 mls.

    Cheers!

    Oh no. I just drank a 750 of 10.5% ABV and still feel fine. I guess I'll have to move on to blaming McDonald's for making people fat now that this is a debacle. Entitlement and shifting of acceptance of responsibility can be hit or miss. Guess I'll be in time out for minute then, everything will be just peachy again like nothing happened.

    Buying Busch in bombers gives me that fulfilling sense of arrogance plus their better for 'sharing'

    Not my favorite bottle size either, I prefer singles or cans. Unfortunately, some beers I covet only come in larger format bottles.

    I love bombers and 750s. Everything has its place.

    Bomber are good for me, I usually have no problem putting one down after work. And yes, they are great for bottle shares...

    Yeah, as a homebrewer I love bombers. Less to fill, less to cap.

    As a drinker, I enjoy the size as well. But seriously, I put my "big boy pants" on and get to it. If you can't drink a bomber in one sitting your need more practice. If you want to go the sharing route, by all means, go ahead.

    I only buy bombers if the QPR is nice or if its something extra special. Otherwise, I get smaller bottles.

    Please oz-for-oz, bombers cost LESS than 11- and 12-oz bottles of same-priced beers. I always have some in the fridge, for sharing and for nights when I would drink two small bottles, anyway.

    I go with bombers quite often, especially if the beer is bottle conditioned. Besides, I don't complain about the cost so much because the beer I buy is an affordable luxury to me anyway. I also bottle all my home brew in bombers, take up less space in storage and I don't spend the entire day cleaning 12 oz. bottles.

    No problem with bombers or 750's, but I will think twice sometimes if I want to open one and drink all by myself if I have 12/16.9 oz options sitting in my cellar

    This is what I was going to say. The people who hate bombers because they can't drink that much beer must really hate growlers (and growler-only beers like Hill Farmstead IPAs).

    Some of you people apparently can't imagine any other option than to man-up, put on your big boy pants, be a beer drinker, and show that you can hold your likker. :rolling_eyes:

    At a bar its a great deal.....at home its still over a $15 six pack. I try to stay $2 a bottle or less.

    I hate bomber high abv beers. One of my favorites is Labyrinth but at over 13% its too big of a bottle. There is a reason 120 is a 12 oz bottle.

    I passed on a bunch of fresh single cut IPA the other week because of the $6.99-$8.99 for a bomber.

    Enjoy

    I prefer to buy a Bomber compared to a 6 pack "sometimes". Example ill by Stone enjoy by in a bomber over a 6 pack.
    6 pack - roughly 16.99
    bomber - roughly 8.99

    It is a better deal for a 6 pack but I dont want to drink that many of them so I will grab the bomber to try and Enjoy.
    All depends on the beer.

    I prefer cans. I rarely buy bombers, but when I do I have no trouble finishing them. :wink:
