    Just wondering... What's the highest ABV sixer around $10 you can think of?

    I bought Hop Wallop for just over $11 today, and I was surprised to see it is 8.5% ABV (I had never tried it).

    Cheers,
    Nick

    If you can convince Dan Carey to brew Alt, that baby was at 9% and only $7/sixer. A

    What about Third Coast Ale? That's over 10% but I can't remember the cost.

    If it doesn't have to be craft you can get alot of eastern euro stuff for well below that price.

    Rampant DIPA is a pretty solid option.

    Sounds like a pre-drinking "Best bang for my buck" before the bar thread :slight_smile:

    This is like a question from an alcoholic on a budget. I think highest ABV per dollar goes to king cobra or icehouse.

    And is lower in ABV (and sweeter) than Soft Parade.

    Steel Reserve has the best price-to-ABV ratio, as far as I know. As a broke ass liberal arts student, I have to force myself to tolerate it from time to time.

    Lagunitas Brown Sugga and Hairy Eyeball (do they still make that?) are the two that come to mind for me.
