Your favorite "cheap" bomber/750?

Booo. $5 bombers are still acceptable, but I would drink the shit out of size 7 if it were a $10/6 pack instead of $15...

 

In my book, $5 bombers are not cheap. That's a $15 6 pack. When you get down to the $5 bomber price, you can find so many comparable beers in 6 pack format for $9.99 or less. 6 packs win every time. For me, the only place for a bomber is for the limited release stuff and that is basically only because we are forced to buy a bomber if we want that special release.

 

My bottle shop in Eagan just starting carrying Steel Toe, happy days!

 

I do like clown shoes, lagunitas, deschutes, weihenstephaner

 

Yes there it is usually a better value but when you consider that everything is based on ouch cost, most of what is in 22oz would not be $10 for a six pack. If you figure that $5 bomber is going to run $0.23 an oz a 48oz six pack is going to be around $11 to $12. I find the bomber size is prefect if you want to sample a number of beers. If I have the option to buy 2 six packs or 4 bombers, I'd rather go with the variety. Plus 22oz is just about the right size to enjoy on your own or share with someone.

 

Someone is stealing 24 ounces from your six packs

Cheers!

 

Gotta love Iowa math

 

You are right, now I'll turn the lights out and whoever took it, please return it.

I was think in the land of 4 packs mainly because I have yet to see anything offered in bombers that is also offered in 6 packs. So, I've done the math in the past when choosing between a bomber or a 4 pack. At any rate, that would make 6 packs 72 oz and make the 6packs in the range of $15.00 to $16.00.

 

8.99 for a 750 of Saison Dupont

 

I love all the New Glarus Bombers and CW Brewhouse Coffee Stout! I found love child #3 for 10 once but that was probably a mistake.

 

Gimme!~

(It's $10.99 at my local squalid packie. )

 

How about an $8.99 Rodenbach / $9.99 Rodenbach Grand Cru?

 

Steel Toe and Lagunitas for sure.

Also, as a saison lover, I'll throw out Victory Helios. Cheapest non-closeout bomber I've ever bought, at $3.50 I think. And pretty darn tasty, too.

 

Really? Should we start with Steel Toe? There are many, many great IPA's that are equal to Size 7. Or did you mean Size 7 is only offered in a bomber?

I have to disagree with you when it comes to the "5 dollar bomber". Now, a limited release bomber in the $9+ range is a different story.

On topic with the thread, I guess I just don't see any bomber as being cheap when you compare it to a 6 pack pricing.

They are nicer for bottle shares though!

 

Northgate in Andover has had this at 8.99 for at least 6 months.

 

This, for sure.

 

I picked up a couple bottles of Le Terrioir yesterday for $6.99 (Hy-Vee West Lakes in Des Moiens). I saw BBQ on sale in DM for $10.99 (Hy-Vee on Grand/Railroad in WDM) this week...obviously not under $10, but pretty close for a great beer in a 750.

 

Dear Steel Toe,

I love Size 11!


Where did it go?




Bring it back!




NOW!

Love,
Erik

 

I think it usually comes out around March...

 

Ohh, Ill second Le Terroir. How did I forget that? Its possibly the 2nd best cheap sour. (NG Wild sour being the first. Not a bomber I know, but that beer dominates in my book because its a sour, cheap and GREAT). Now if only they would make it a seasonal...

Since Im on sours now, you can find Cuve Renee for ~$10 too. Thats a very under appreciated Guezue. Its not the 'very best' I know, but for being readily available and one of the cheapest in its style it holds up very well IMO.
