You can mix single beer bottles at World Market, too.

Wow, I always thought this was kind of a no-no (but I do it anyway, of course). Good to know I really don't need to feel bad about it anymore!

Why don't we have this? Love this idea! It reminds me of getting wine 6-packs in the grocery store in CA... and if you got a 6-pack, you got 10% off!

Thanks for the updates for different stores! I'll have to check and see if there are six-pack holders in my favorite beer places.

My SuperTarget has single beers for mixing and cardboard carriers.

the Stop & Shop in Hingham, MA does this too! The first time I saw this I had to buy a 6 pack all for myself with full of girly beers! (OK, I know I didn't have to drink them ALL in one night! but I had fun!)

My boyfriend works at a Hyvee in West Des Moines, IA, and they have a special shelf of single beers specifically for mixing. They have a stack of fold out carboard carriers right next to them. I believe that because they don't carry most of these beers in 6 packs, its actually cheaper to mix and match them then buying them as singles (aka buy more for less).

Swoon, pyramid beer....

I never have noticed paying more for a mixed pack, though a few times I have seen that I pick up a six pack and get home and have a few different beers in it. It's usually a nice surprise.

I always wondered about this. What I learned last week? Also Beer related: Stout and Chocolate Ice Cream together make great "milk"shakes. :D

I've actually done this before with different flavored beers of the same brand (Red Hook, Mirror Pond, Full Sail, etc). It works well if you only want *a couple* Amber or something, or if you want to try a new flavor from a brewery you love.

That is great to know, thanks.

There were several liquor stores I used to patronize because they would allow you to mix beers and they carried an amazing variety. But it was much more expensize and something I only did for a treat. Trader Joe's however (at least the one by us) does not charge more for a mixed pack. Most of their six packs are around 6.00 so single beers are around 1.00. It's nice when you want to try something new but don't want to commit to the whole six pack
