    $35.99 each for two bottles of Mother of All Storms. Will probably never buy a bomber that expensive again. Still haven't opened one either, so I'm not sure whether or not it was worth it yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    At a beer shop on my way home from work (Maryland). They have TNP for $66 + tax and StB for $88 + tax.

    Same place I bought my barrel-aged Stillwater Stateside and DuClaw Divine Retribution #2

    Was at 3 Floyd's brewpub and they had Cabra ( Whiskey barrel aged Robert the Bruce w/ cherries). $35. Bought 2. Wish I saved one. The first one was so good I cracked the other about 4 days later with my buddies on football sunday. Had to let the fellas taste it. No doubt, would do it again. One of the best I ever had.

    $45 at a bar for Bourbon County Cherry Rye... which is especially stupid since I have 2 bottles in the cellar :slight_frown:

    $39 for Orkney Dark Island Reserve and worth every penny. Sam Adams Utopias. I cannot remember exactly but about $350 for the decanter. Very good but probably not really beer.

    My beer drinking buddy got a bottle of Brew Dog Tactical Nuclear Penguin from his business partner that he paid about $80 for. We drank it and it was awful. Tried it on several different nights but it tasted like battery acid.

    Aged World Wide Stout is one of the best beers I ever drank. Keep them cellared for 3-5 years and you will not be disappointed, and try some fresh if you find it on tap to compare.

    30.00 for Lou Pepe Kriek 750 (would do that again for sure); same for a 375ml of Lawson's Mapple Tripple (probably wouldn't...great beer but once is enough I think).

    Just dropped $50 this weekend on a Cantillon St. Lam at a bar. Would do it again, too.

    Acer Quercus or Rio Reserva, both were $35. Don't know if either was worth it because I have yet to open either

    I once spent $80 on a bottle of HotD Dave at the 2008 Dock Sale. At the time, that seemed like a ludicrous price for a single bottle of beer...
