    If you are in Wisconsin the correct answer is almost always any 6-pack New Glarus beer

    Thought it might be, but didn't realize they still had it that low. They did have Victory mix 12 packs for 10.99 last week though so not too surprising.

    SN Torpedo for me. I'm looking forward to their new Beer Camp release.

    Pretty much anything from Oskar Blues. Dales Pale ale being the first coming to mind.

    Yeah, them and Stone. $7 a pop here in PA for RIS with its ABV is a pretty good deal IMO (wow, that was a lot of abbreviating)

    no question lagunitas was the first thing that came to my mind. quality of the beer for what you're paying? tough to beat.

    My cheap go-to:
    Real Ale Pale Ale, on sale sometimes for $6-7. Or Trader Joe's Mission St. Pale Ale, $6 for a sixer. Wish they'd keep it cold.

    Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
    Sierra Nevada Torpedo
    Lakefront IPA
    All are $9.99 a sixer. And SN is sometimes on special in the supermarket @ $15.99 a 12 pack.

    Ever since I officially designated beer as my hobby, I've been more vigilant in seeking out the best prices for stocking up. If I see something I like for a good price, I'll buy it regardless of whether I'm specifically looking for it that day. And of course, I check dates when something gets reduced. More often than I care to admit the reason the price is reduced is because it's near or past the "good by" date.

    I have a couple. I can usually get any SN sixer for $7.99, Hop Czar is $6.99 and if I need a case, I go for Full Sail Session. 12 11oz bottles for $9.99.

    Torpedo. There is no beer, in my opinion, that has a wider gap between quality and price.

    Here in Charlotte, we'll sometimes see Sierra Nevada 12-packs for $12.99. I'll have to agree with Torpedo. I drink a lot of it, and also had a lot of Ruthless Rye earlier this year. When winter comes around, Celebration will work its way into the rotation.

    12 packs of Torpedo are a mainstay at $13.99. As are 6'ers of Santa Fe Brewing's Imperial Java Stout at $6.99.

    Anything in a 6pack from New Glarus. Usually $7-8 and that's a hell of a price for spotted cow, moon man, or when it's in season Hop hearty
