    For $20, I could get a 6 pack of Founders Dirty Bastard, and a 4 pack of Old Rasputin...and that would be a good night.

    With a $20 burning a hole in my pocket I would have to go with a six pack of Two Hearted and a LA Serpents Stout.

    Is this a joke? I think you forgot a 0? You can't buy two bombers for $20!

    I would give the $20 to my home brewing buddy. Then everyday I would go over to his house and drink his beer and remind him of said $20.

    I cannot buy a BFM 15th Anniversary or a Saint bon-chien 750 for $20...

    I can never really say. Tends to depend on what's fresh at the store.

    This thread reminds me of Dr. Evil's off base one million dollar demand of the world's superpowers. Coincidentally, the last time $20 could get you a quantity of decent beer was when Austin Powers came out in '97

    If you're paying $7 for 2 Heady Toppers in NY, either you're really lucky or not counting the gas to drive to the brewery [even if you are directly across the border].

    You're right, I'm not counting the ferry trip.

    Maybe a mix a six that added up to 20 dollars I guess.

    Sounds like you're taking the ferry across Champlain and buying in Burlington. The price is $3 a can retail at the brewery so I'm wondering what the price the store pays if they sell for $3.50. Any idea?

    4 pack of heady ($12) and a bomber of Double Sunshine.

    ...if only I lived in Vermont :slight_smile:

    Yes, correct about the ferry.

    Not sure. I was pleasantly suprised though, to only pay just $3.50/can when I knew it was $3 at the brewery.
