VALUE 4-pks...

Founders RIS and FBS

 

Old Rasputin $7.99 / 4pk and the SN seasonals (Bigfoot, Hoptimum, Narwhal) are all $8.99 / 4pk here.

 

Just grabbed Bell's Oberon while visiting my parents for $6.99 for the 4 - 16 oz cans in southeast Kentucky. I had to do a double take as that's one of my wife's staple beers and we paid $10.99 - $11.99 for the same thing on vacation.

 

Fort George 16oz 4pks

 

Where do you live? Cause I'm moving there. Dirtwolf for $7.99 is almost half of what I pay...

 

I picked up a "boat-load" of BOAT recently at Carton, $10 a 4 pk / 4 per person, 077XX was $12 - 2 pk limit
Thankfully my g-f was with me so we maxed out at 2 cases! Great stuff!

 

New Glarus 4 packs usually run 8.99 to 9.99.

 

Heady Topper $12.99, best value out there, bar none!

 

To me, there's no value there. A six pack (of 12s, yes) is only $1 more. And for me, that extra four ounces doesn't really make a difference - I'm going to have one when I'm grilling, so for an extra buck, I get two more beers.

 

Second this. The New Glarus Thumbprint series is hard to beat for 4-packs. Assuming you live in Wisconsin, that is.

 

Any high-quality brew under $10 around Chicago. The lowest I've seen these:

Old Raspy - $8.49
FBS - $8.29
Brooklyn BCS - $7.99
Nosferatu - $9.99
Bigfoot - $9.99

 

You think you get two more beers, that is. Do the math. Never mind, I'll do it for you.

$7.99 for 4 16 oz. cans = 64 oz. $7.99/64 = $.1248 per oz.

$8.99 for 6 12 oz. cans = 72 oz. $8.99/72 = $.1248 per oz.

Gee whiz, it's the same price. Well I'll be dipped - there is value. They're the same per oz. price. How'd that happen?

 

As much as I love pint cans I cannot get over the fact that a 6 pack and four pack of torbedo by me are the exact same price.

 

Best value four-pack is Old Rasputin at $7.49, a great tasting beer with above average ABV and I would also include any Sierra Nevada four-pack seasonal for $8.99 (Narwhal, Bigfoot, Hoptimum) and also Torpedo 16 ounce can four-packs $7 are also a great value.

 

@otispdriftwood

Yes they're the same price per oz. But the guy is saying that drinking 12oz vs 16oz isn't the big appeal for him, but rather the number of bottles/cans in the package. If he's only going to have one while grilling, why not make it 6 beers for 6 days of grilling instead of 4 beers with a little more in each? No need to be snarky about it.

 

I'll just pretend that was a typo...

 

Hard to define value. If I rate Stout A 3/5 and Stout B 5/5, and the former is $7/4-pack and the latter is $11/4-pack, I 'm not necessarily going to think Stout A is better value.

The 4-packs I buy most regularly would be Two Hearted (cans) and FBS.

 

Bitburger for $5.99 is decent value.

 

All o' these've been mentioned, so I'm just seconding them...

Did you even read my post?

The four ounces per serving don't mean a damn to me. I open a beer - singular - when I grill. I drink it, and get on with my life. The difference between 12 and 16 ounces is forgettable to me.

With a six pack, I can do that six times. With a four pack, I can do that four times. 6 > 4. That's pretty simple math. For ~12% more money, I can have 50% more drinks.

I never said I got more beer for my buck. I just said I get more drinks.
