    In a bar I think I bought a Chimay or Delirium that was like 10 for a pint.

    In a store a bomber of Pumpking for like 8$ or something. I'm not a big spender, I pretty much only by 6ers and 12 packs.

    $6.39 for a Rochefort 10. I think $12.39 for Abyss. For a 4 pack, probably $15.99 for Ten Fidy, Gulden Draak, and Piraat. We really don't get too much good beer in Texas. There are hardly any whales distributed here and most of the more expensive ones go fast. I'm actually trending more towards affordable session beer. I just bought a 6 pack of Deshutes Black Butte Porter and Red Chair NWPA for 6.95 each. To me just incredible beer for $1.19 each.

    $30 for Parabola and Abacus. Although good beers, I would not pay that again. I don't think I would pay $15 for them. Maybe ten. I think they are hyped just a wee bit. Good but not THAT good.

    Nope, It's Bill Evans. Brubeck and Evans are my two favorite jazz pianists! I bet your learning from one of the best, Joe Morello was a true master of rhythm!

    Ah, yeah, I recognize the photo now that I'm looking at the larger version. I've probably listened to Evans' Portrait in Jazz more than any other jazz record (besides Art Blakey's Ugetsu).

    same here although i ordered in smaller amounts so it was closer to $80 per bottle.

    if it makes you feel any better, the lente was the best beer i have ever had in my 20+ years of beer drinking.

    $25 for 50/50 Eclipse.

    Though technically the $45 my friends and I dropped for a 6 year old bottle of Pannepot at Toronado. It was worth every damn penny.
