    I bought a budweiser at a redsox game for like 8$. Not the best 8 I ever spent.

    How dare you say that name on here!! Shame on you for spending any money on that SH-T!
    I wouldn't drink it if it was free. Not worth even throwing a ping pong ball in.

    This is how I feel about it. It's not like I am drinking $20+ bottles of beer every night. I don't mind spending that on a bottle I plan on enjoying with a few buddies. Money well spent.

    They make more 20 dollar bills. Some beers are just once.

    You can't! Unless it was bought there and re-sold illegally.

    so far, a couple $25 4-packs for BCBS this year.

    that may change, if I see a Westvleteren XII pack. Decision time...

    DeuS...$35 per bottle. Although, compared to actual champagne, it was probably a bargain.

    Anything from Bruery in my opinion. Except bottles ten and under

    Alright so I admit that I bought a bottle of Abyss 2010 (in 2012 properly cellared - and as pictured in my avatar) for $45 (or something like that) shipped off of Ebay. I absolutely loved it but I did overpay for sure.

    I would pay $18.59 in a heartbeat (where in Seattle did you find this - if you don't mind sharing). I paid $20 for a bottle of AftW at the HotD tasting room earlier this year (for onsite consumption) and it was delicious.

    A 750 of Gonzo Imperial Porter, signed by Ralph Steadman (the label designer, for those who don't know). Got it at auction and, well, sorry kids. Community College is good too....

    Troegs Splinter Black. $35/bottle + a lot of hassle to get only 2 bottles of this average beer on the day.

    $17.99 for a 4 pack of Ten Fidy.

    Incredible beer, but I found it at another place not long after for 5 bucks cheaper.

    I think I paid $23 for it. Right after that was when I started making sure to look up BA ratings for every potential beer buy. I also paid over $30 for a bottle of Cuir by The Bruery but hopefully that will be money well spent once I pop it.
