Foo - Whats a case of beer cost in your area?

Miller , Bud ,Coors cost about $15 a case in western PA . I drink micro brews but I`d like to get a feel for current beer prices across our nation.

When you say a case I am assuming you are meaning a carton of 24? The reason I am confused is that if that is the case, then I am getting absolutely ripped down here in Australia. I hope you are saying what a 6 pack would cost you.

Trying to make a comparison here the cheapest I've seen Budweiser (why you would choose to drink it I don't know) was for $39.99 when it wsa on special, that is a bout $34 (USD).

For me I normally pay $44(AUD) on my normal beer, this is $37 (USD). My expensive beer I will pay around $54 (AUD) = $46(USD). And the cheap stuff that and surprisingly still tastes better than Budweiser costs me $30 (AUD) = $25 (USD).

A 12 pack of Budweiser (cans) is about 11.50 here. Busch (which I prefer over Bud) is about 7.50.

I don't buy more than I can wipe out in a week. I buy quality brews a six pack at a time, and those are about $7-9 each.

I used to pay A$50 for a carton of James Squire and the same for James Boag/Becks/Heineken. I once paid A$77 for a carton of Hoegaarden. I think VB/XXXX/Carlton Cold etc is cheaper but it's also sh!te.

I bought 3 X 20 Becks the other day for £20.00. Grolsch is usually £10.00 for 20 bottles at the local supermarket.

It's around $7 for a 12 pack of PBR, $7 for a sixer of Corona, $7-$9 for a six pack of most micro brews and Optimator is about $12 for a six pack. Liquor is expensive here, but I stick to beer.

I'm happy to say I haven't a clue.

I can tell you the cost of a 6-pack of Mike's Hard Lemonade though. Or perhaps the cost of a .750L of Grand Marnier?

If I'm feeling like cheap beer, there's a store down the street where I can get tallboys of PBR for a buck a piece. I don't normally drink that though.

I think I pay $22 for a case of Fat Tire. I've also bought their Skinny Dip summer beer, that was $24.

The last case that I bought was Cottonwood Hazelnut Stout. They only did one batch of it. Hand numbered bottles. I know someone who works for the distributor, so I got it for $50. They were selling it for $10 a bottle at the bar(it wasn't distributed to any stores).

A 24 case of MGD (bottles) is ~$40 here... Not sure about other beers since I've never bought them, I think Blue and stuff are around $25-30 CAD for a 24 of cans.

12 pack of Coors or comparable, any where from 8-12 depending on the store.

a 12 of something decent 12-16 depending on the store

a 12 (or 2 sixes) of something good 16-24 depending on the store, and if it's offered in 12's or just 6's.

In WV: Miller, Bud, Natural Light, etc all go for between $11 & $15 per case (24 cans) -- Low Taxes!

Coors, Rolling Rock - a few bucks more.

That's about right for here too.

Not much cheaper than that around here, if any cheaper at all. I can usually find it for around $13-$14.

30 pack of High Life or PBR or Old Style for $11 or $12 around here.

6 more beers for less money than the equivalent crap beers Bud/MGD/Lite

Gotta be cold as all get out from the cooler to drink 'em, but the summer's the perfect time for that.

It's been so long since I've bought the cheap stuff I couldn't even tell you, I think Miller Light 18 packs are maybe $14 or so regular price? The one cheapie I do occasionaly buy (nothing else is available) is Nattie Light, it is usually $9.99/24. The good stuff I buy (Bass, micros...etc) range anywhere from $7-12+ a sixer and the homebrew I make myself runs maybe $10-12 for 5 gallons (~50-55 - 12oz. bottles).

I'm jealous of you guys that can actually run out to the store and buy Fat Tire, I love that stuff! It is one of the many reasons I want to move to Colorado.

**Edit** Natural Light is $9.99/24, not 12

A single 22 oz bottle of Fat Tire in a Chicago area grocery store is usually 2.99

We don't get 'em in 6-packs for some dumb reason.

you get fat tire in chicago?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

in canada PBR is $24/case....

In AL you get Bud and the like for about $17-18 a case. Coor's is cheaper than that here. MGD is cheaper still. Becks, Heine's, Corona, etc usually about $23-$25. (@ Sam's Club - best regular prices).

I have a favorite grocery store that when they have a special sale, it's screamin'. Bought Sam Adams 12 packs for $5.99, etc. Just can't get that everyday, though.

So much for trying to choose a standard, readily-available brand for national/international price-comparison purposes. :rolleyes: I understand what you're trying to do, Glenn, even though I (and you) don't drink these.

I'll try to find the price on a case and report back, but the 12-pk price for these at the local grocery store is $7.99. Would be cheaper at a discount wine/beer store, and I'll check that, too. :)



Edit: Ok. At the discount store: a case of 24 of any of these is $13.99 for cans, $16.58 for bottles.

Here there's almost never any difference in regular can/bottle prices. Though in some brands the bottles almost always go on sale, like Bud, where others it's usually the cans.

I was thinking the same thing...I know off the top of my head what a six-pack of Kiltlifter is ($7.99 with the club card) but that doesn't help much with comparisons! :p

I had to go look, too. Here in Phx it's about $16-18/case of Miller or Bud.

The big three (Bud, Miller, and Coors) are usually between .75 and 1.00 per can/bottle. Depends on the store, area, and maybe how drunk you are.

Doesn't cost me ****, cuz I don't drink any.

you get fat tire in chicago?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

Since about a year ago.

If you want to contribute to this thread, you don't have to drink it, silly. Just look up the price in the paper, or notice it next time you're in the store shopping for something that you do eat or drink! :p

I could call my bro and ask him. He works at a grocery store.

Not sure, I don't drink.

Since about a year ago.Then a great wrong has been righted! *high fives Chicago for no longer lacking Fat Tire*

PA has some weird beer laws. We have to buy beer at a beer distributor,sorta like many states have distributors for the hard stuff. We can`t buy a 6-pack at the grocery store or 7-11. Here you have to buy a case at the state beer distributor. But anyways Blue Moon is $24 a case and my regular Yeungling ( semi-local sorta micro-brew is $16). I haven`t had Bud, Coors or Miller in years. But I just wanted to see what other folks are paying. Seems like were not getting ripped-off in the land that time forgot, I mean Pennsylvania. Thanks and keep the beer reports coming, I raise my frosty mug to you all.

Thanks and keep the beer reports coming, I raise my frosty mug to you all.Oklahoma's laws are a little weird too. All beer in grocery/convinience stores can't exceed 3.2% alcohol. Liquor stores can sell whatever. But the liquor stores aren't allowed to refrigerate so Bud, Coors and many others won't sell through them. This causes many trips to Texas, Kansas, etc. for Super Bowl weekends and the like.

i'm not sure about cases, but a 6 pack usually runs $8-$10. it's expensive here.

I think the farthest south Fat Tire goes is Memphis. I like the Modelo Especiale myself. There's also a local microbrew called Old Towne. It's pretty good, but it's about $7 for a sixer.

Sorry, don't know. The beers I drink do not come in cases. A six pack of EKU 28 runs about the same as a case of the runny thin stuff most people drink.

24can case of Lone Star - 10.00
12pck Shiner Bock - 13.00
6pck Shiner Amber 98 - 6.97 Edit: Special Anniversary brew.

In comparison Budwiper goes for about 18 bucks for a 24 pack.

Real beer or the Utah Pisswater that they sell in the grocery stores? :p

See Post #26. Anyone can look up the cost of Bud in their area. It's not like Bud doesn't exist ubiquitously. :rolleyes:

Edit: Not specifically for EJ123, but for all Foo'ers who've been yammerin' on about other things besides the OP's orignal request....

What's with you Foo'ers? This is simply a matter of lookin' in your local paper, or simply noting the price on your next excursion to your local grocery store. Just give Glenn the price in your area for the brews he mentioned, and enough of the biatching about what's "worthy" or what you like, etc. :rolleyes:

How do you think the Consumer Price Index is calculated, BTW? *sigh* Surely Foo is sophisticated enough to find the price of a case of non-descript and readily-available beer for nation-wide cost comparison. :rolleyes:

C'mon, Foo.... <optimistic Vega look>

8 pack ranges from like 8-12 bucks depending on where you get it.

What? You guys have to pay for your beer in the States :eek:

Beer is free in Canada and is considered to be one of our many social programs offered by our government. We even have a beer named after our country "Canadian" ... or was it all part a dream I had last night ... hhhmmm.
