Where are you located? And by "CHEAP 6er" I take it youre talking about the less expensive good brew? I associate "Cheap 6er" with Bud Light and that ilk, generally around $4.99 or so here, but there is cheaper. One can get crappy beer like Natty Ice or Miller Hi-Life for abour $7.99 a 12pack. The Vons by my house is the closest source for decent beer, starting at $6.99 a 6pack (on sale) up to $9.99 for really good microbrews.
nope, I mean a sixer of laker (aka virtually undrinkable piss) is about $7.95 last time I checked for a 6er. Lakeport (prettymuch the same) is $8 something. Bud lite (aka, pricey unddrinkable piss) is listed at $11 prettymuch, but on sale at $10 for a sixer. Most imports (e.g. corona and heineken) are about $2 a bottle. The GOOD stuff is generally about $1.50-$2 per bottle, regardless of how many you get, but the distribution generally isn't good for the local microbrews, so it's either mill st. or red cap for me more often than not.
Here in Ontario, Canada, the prices are a bit backwards, and so is the beer industry - the brewer's retail inc. - which runs the beer store - is owned by anheuser busch inbev, molson-coors, and sapporo - who bought out/merged with labatt's, molson, and sleeman, respectively. The minimum pricing is government set, which is constantly being lobbied to be risen by the bigger breweries, but the rest of the pricing is brewery set.
