Remember when a $15 for a bottle of beer gave you pause?

$15 Bomber/750 gives me half a pause. $15 12 oz/375 gives me full pause. I still occasionally pull the trigger, but make damn well sure I know what I'm getting into first. Happily, I can't say I've had any regrets for the ones I've purchased- and I'll thank Beer Advocate for that part!

 

I can't recall ever dropping $15 on a bomber. I can't imagine doing it any time soon either.

 

What good bombers can you get for under $6?

 

I can pick up FW Wookey Jack for $3.79, Stone IPA and Arrogant Bastard for $3.29 and $3.79, all the Lagunitas are usually at or under $5, etc. There's great beer to be had at reasonable value.

 

Always has, always will. Everything is relative to price. A good beer that is $7.99 a six pack could be a favorite / mainstay in my fridge but the same exact beer could be a one time buy at $14.99 per six pack. A beer that is $15+ a bomber would have to be one of my absolute favorites for me to even consider buying it once a year.

 

Yeah but I was 20 and had to have others buy it for me. Now these crazy people who pay for smart phones....I have no idea how people justify that one!

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You guys in cali are SPOILED lol.

 

I will entertain 750's and bombers of wilds/sours for 15 bucks or more due to the nature of the beer. I find that the prices charged for barrel aging are insane and rarely worth the premium.

But, yes, anything over $10 still gives me pause.

 

Solid beer. Not worth the pricetag though IMHO.

 

Wow that is pretty insane. Wookey Jack costs $8 in Chicago. Stone is $7 at the cheapest. I feel like I've seen Lagunitas at $5 occasionally here but I'm not really into any of their beers.

 

The Bruery drinks their own cool-aid...

 

I remember when quarts of Stag were $.89. Everything nowadays gives me sticker shock.

 

I rarely ever spend $15 on a bomber but that's mostly because there aren't many down here. I will spend $11 on clown shoes Ba stuff or a little more on growler fills but that's about it. If I could just go out and pick up Parabola or Abyss though I wouldn't even blink an eye.

 

I wish that price tag gave me more of a pause. In the case of Surly limited releases I'm reaching for a box to fill it up for the cellar. In the case of Pentagram, I'd say the case was worth it.

 

It still does...

 

I pause every time I open my cellar closet as I thank god the shelves with my $3-50(BADL) bottles haven't ripped off the wall...had nightmares about it before

 

I don't remember what I ate for breakfast.

Next question.

 

I guess I must be a cheap bastard, because it still does.

 

I have never Paid more than
$14 for a beer...so...
yeah.

But, Price is Price, & if it's worth it in my own
mind, that is all that matters.
