    Per ml = Lost Abbey Deliverance
    Highest $ = assorted $30 bombers

    None were worth it IMO

    The most I've spent was around $22 for a bottle Even More Jesus, and that was really stretching me. Hard to justify paying too much when there are a lot of great beers to be had at more reasonable prices. This is the reason why I haven't had nearly as many sours as I would like!

    Good God, how much beer did you buy that a $72 price difference on the final bill didn't even register with you in the moment? :grimacing:

    $60 for Rare. I don't think I've paid $30 for a bottle of anything else.

    2 or 3 hundred, probably 15 or 20 bottles, give or take. When I go bottle shopping, I prefer to do a lot at one time rather than a little bit all the time. Kinda funny that you're calling me out for how much I'm spending on beer on a thread dedicated to that very subject.

    Not calling you out at all, just curious how high the number had to be that it didn't jump out as soon as you heard the total..."Wait a minute, that CANNOT be right." I usually walk the store with something of a running tally in my head, knowing if I don't I'll get serious sticker shock when I check out.

    No harm meant by the post at all, it's a good talk. Cheers!

    Yeah, if it had been a quick beer run and I was only getting a couple bottles, I definitely would have noticed something was up and gone back in. The guy was really nice even selling it to me after hanging on to it for 10 years, and showing me the cellar collection at all. Unfortunately, it wasn't where I live so not too easy to get back there and straighten things up.

    Wait wait wait, so u bought a raffle ticket, not to win a beer BUT to make It where you were able to just buy the beer? That is kinda ridiculous to me.

    Prarie bomb was expensive to me @$10/12oz

    Stone 500 ml corked bottles for $18 is also alot. Cmon I mean pliny is only $5 same oz.

    It's worth it! I'd buy more of it at $25 a bottle if I could. Enjoy it!

    Still hanging on to it. I have a buddy who's a Weyerbacher nut and I'm waiting for him to come over and split it.

    300 DKK (about 45$) for a 750ml of Cantillon Blåbær. I will probably do it again this year.

    On a similar note, they want 100$ for a bottle of Dark Lord here. Has anyone ever seen that sort of price in the states? Definitely not considering it, but just curious.

    I paid $70 for a Fou' Foune 2015. I figured the price was inflated, but it was probably by only chance to get my hands on one from a legitimate source (i.e., not some rando on craigslist, or one of those MBC websites).
