    A 6 pack of Foothills Hoppyum is about $8.99 or on sale for $7.99 here in NC. Their bombers are about 3.99-$6.99 depending on what you get. Even if I get their Seeing Double for $6.99, I think it's a steal for something at 9% ABV.

    SNPA has always been my "go-to" beer; it's just a bonus that it's only $30/case. Lately my local shop has been distributing coupons for $1 off/6'er, limit 4. That takes it down to $26 - I can't beat that!

    That one's gone now and its unfortunate because I agree with you that it was a great budget beer.
