    Probably something from Cantillon around $30. "I don't usually drink expensive beer. But when I do, I prefer Cantillon."

    I guess mine would be 50 bucks for Rare. Hope it's worth it... the friendly folks at Fox News Chicago have got me worried.

    Rare at $55. I bought seven total. Cheapest at 38.99, most expensive at 55.99. I actually found a Rare I didn't know I had the other day :slight_smile:.

    Old Rasputin XIII and North Coast Old Stock Reserve both 500ml and about $23 each. Really good beers but not worth the price IMO.

    if you're talking about per ounce pricing, something at a bar.

    if you're talking about per bottle pricing, i've paid > $30. don't think i've broken $40, but i could be forgetting something. would buy utopias if i had extra $$$ lying around (i believe it's a good value, though i admit that i would sooner pay more for top shelf bourbon).

    edit: @infi, that schaerbeekse kriek taunts me every damn time i see it in the store. i know that there'd be no remorse when i'm actually drinking it, but i can't pull the trigger.

    I'd suggest splitting the cost with someone or two. It's delicious, no doubt– but not worth that price tag. I think the regular Oude Kriek is just as good, especially at 1/4 the price.

    $45 for a westy 8. Not worth it.
