Oddly, the craft brewers up here are generally outpricing the mass market imports like Spaten. The exceptions are the major crafters like Adams and Sierra Nevada. I suppose they all have the advantages of scale, whether they're in Germany or the US.
It's all pricey here, the best buys are New Belgium's regulars like 1554, Sierra Nevada, Adams etc. at around 8 bucks a 6 pack. Adams now has a high end high ABV 4 pack line that's real pricey and the ones I've tried are good but not worth the money. The smaller more exclusive craft brews go up from there. Dogfish Head has some that are in the 16 dollar a four pack range. Full Sail has done well with their low end 12 pack beers they throw out there. Session Lager and Session Black are quite drinkable and at 10 bucks a 12 pack really good buys. I like the little 11 ounce stubby bottles too.

My wife likes the Franziskaner a lot.
