    What's the highest ABV you can find in a reasonably priced 6-pack? I'll ante with Central Waters Belgian Blonde with 8.5% for $7.99. If you want to consider another factor, quality of beer, I'd go with Founders Dirty Bastard, also at 8.5%. Remember, the first equation is ABV/cost. The second is ABV/cost * BA Rating.

    Troegs Mad Elf. It's usually $13-$14 a sixer but at 11%, a good value in my book. And staying in the state of PA, I'll also throw out Weyerbacher Merry Monks. 9.3% at anywhere from $10-$12.

    Flying Dog The Truth Double IPA ($11.99 for a sixer at 8.7% ABV) or Saranac Imperial Stout ($8.99 a sixer at 9.0% ABV)

    As a side discussion how about 6 pack cans (not 4 packs)?

    Flying Dog Double Pale Ale
    11.5%
    ~$12 6 pack

    I used to get this at $5.69 after my discount at the store I worked at. If i wanted to get drunk from good beer, I'd buy one of these 6 packs and I'd be good for 2 such occasions.

    On topic Cape Of Good Hope IPA is at one of my stores regularly for 10 bucks a six pack. Great tasting DIPA too.
