    I have seen this beer available twice now but I have passed based on the price. It was $23 at one place and $19.50 at the other. I am sure it is good but I am just trying to figure out about what it is costing other people.

    I've picked it up for about $14.99-$15.99 in the Philly suburbs.

    I haven't seen it around in a few weeks. So unfortunately Pinocchio's might be your best option at this point. I picked mine up at Whole Foods.

    I've seen it in both PA and VA, $21-$23. There are few imperial stouts I enjoy more than BORIS, but the BA version landed near the bottom of my list in its respective style.

    Hoppin Frog makes some mighty tasty beers, but their prices are just too high for my disposable income.

    I agree with you! I have been pleased with their other offerings but just can't afford the price of some of thier beers. I got some hits on a trade for some BA Boris. It is sad that even with shipping factored in I can trade for it and it will cost me less than just buying it off the shelf in PA.

    I bought my first one for 8.99. Then got another couple at total wine for ~$20...that's how good the first one was. Between that price and the ones posted I'm thinking the first one was a mistake.

    Probably my favorite beer. Better than KBS in my opinion. Like adult chocoloate milk :slight_smile:

    I saw it for ~$10 at Shop Rite Liquors in Caldwell, NJ. The only beer I would buy from Hoppin' Frog.

    In Cleveland BA BORIS is $15, regular is $9. I just don't buy much Hoppin' Frog because it is only in large format bottles and it is around $10 a bottle. I'd rather get a Thirsty Dog, Great Lakes or Brew Kettle 6 packs for the same price or less.
