    Dudes, I just copped 2 4pks of Flying Dog Imperial Porter for $10.99 a piece. I've only seen this sold as singles for $5.99. That didn't suck.

    Got a 64 oz. growler up at Premier Liquors in Buffalo for $8.99. Got a 32 oz. Nosterafu ( Fantastic Imp red ale from Great Lakes Br. Co. ) at a good price also. Growlers are GREAT!!!

    Listen to this advice. He might run over all your newly planted burning bushes. Or worse.

    They used to be $35 @ case at the brewery. Did they raise prices? Matter of fact, Binny's South Loop Chicago has $41 @ case. If you like FFF ZD, try Pipeworks Ninja or Ninja vs Unicorn. Just had Ninja vs Unicorn tonight and would put it right up there with ZD...IMO. Can't get enough ZD!!!!!!! Now FFF limits to 2 cases as of a few months ago last I was there..used to buy all u want....bummer.

    On my trip to Nashville here recently, I was amazed that a 4-pack of Yazoo "Sue" only went for around $7.99 at most of the local bottle shops. That's one helluva deal consider the quality, octane, and sheer awesomeness of that brew.

    That's the typical price for the 4 pack. I've seen single bottles around here for $5.99 as well but those were the barrel aged version.

    Rookie mistake. Thanks for the correction.

    Prices vary widely around here, especially going back and forth across the state line. I found a Narwhal 4 pack for 7.99 yesterday when I've seen it 11.00 to 12.00 other places, and my local bottle shop sells Oak Aged Yeti for 8.50. I've seen Old Raspy for 7.99 a few places which seems like a great deal.

    7.99 is a good price for Old Raspy
    It's 2.5-3.00 a single at some shops out here in CO and about 9-10 for a 4-pack,

    I was at a beer tasting two days ago and tried Heavy Seas Bourbon-Barrel Aged Below Decks Barleywine. At $8.99 per bomber, I think it's a great value.

    A local grocery store used to sell the 11.2 oz bottles of Chimay for $2.19. It was a treat until they noticed they had it priced wrong. The funny thing is they still had the large bottles going for $12-$14. Another weird pricing thing is Founders Curmudgeon for $2 for a bottle, while 4-packs are $15.

    I think if you are "getting" it from your girlfriend's husband, you are getting more than just Zombie Dust for free. Well played sir.

    Got a few bottles of '09 Old Stock Cellar Reserve for $20 at a bar. I've seen $26 retail at the lowest around Illinois.
