    I've bought 4 bottles of Utopias for $175-$200
    1 - 12oz bottle of Armageddon for $65 - wouldn't do that again.

    $25.00 for Fruet from The Bruery. Recently I learned $25 was actually a good price. It was worth it.

    However much I paid for my Armand'4 Set. I believe it came out to around $55 a bottle. I've had the Zomer in the past, and my god was it worth it. Amazing Beer

    $16 for 50cl bottle of Wet Dream from Evil Twin is probably the most I've spent per fluid oz. Basically a $1/oz.

    paid 15 euro once for a 8 year old bottle (330ml) of westy 12 in Amsterdam. I was hurting for westy badly...:wink:


    the most american I ever paid for any thing made in the USA is an 11 dollar bomber. I cannot atm remember what it was, senior brain fart....I want to say it was something with the number 1 on it...

    I have a bomber price limit now and I usually do not buy american ones, I will buy 750ml from Belgium if its under 10.

    $25 for a 2010 Brooklyn Black Ops and $25 for a 2009 North Coast Old Stock Ale that were sadly the casualty of a garage door left unlocked.

    Most expensive beer I bought & drank all by myself: Cantillon Jean Chris Nomad – 35 euro

    Most expensive beer I participated in buying: Cantillon LH12 – 180 euro (I paid 20 euro for half a glass LH12 & half a glass of 1 yr old Zwanze 2011)
    Also – 3 Fonteinen Malvasia Rosso 2003 – 50 euro (split by 3) & Rodenbach Alexander 1998 – I think it was 45 euro or something, not sure what my precise cut on that one was.

    Sort of wish I would regret these but I don’t… sours are the dark side of beer geeking. These might be the most expensive in these tread considering euro/dollar conversion.

    Paid $30 for a MOAS last week. Absolutely worth every penny. Been wanting to buy Tactical Nuclear Penguin whenever I see it. The price keeps going up. Last time I saw one for $90. Too much....

    I paid $21.99 for both Bourbon County Coffee and Cherry Rye. I was able to snag the last bottle of each at the time, I guess it pays to be lucky

    Not really. Guess they saw you coming, though. If a retail shop marks something up 800%, i wouldn't really consider that a retail price.
