    I agree with most so far, but as much as I like Stoudt's, I find them pricy relative to what's out there. Rogue has always aggravated me. They're lucky to have Dead Guy!

    Maine Beer Co. Their stuff is good, don't get me wrong. But, it is nowhere near as good as the .50 cents an ounce price that goes along with it most of the time.

    Rogue - bombers are definitely overpriced for the quality
    Anything brewed with Mikkeller
    Sixpoint - I like most of their beers, and I think the quality is there, I just think their 4-packs are pricey

    FFF is getting a tad pricey. Their barrel-aged Behemoth was going for $40 at the brewery. Now that is absolute bullsh*t.

    I think that Rogue was over priced 5 years ago, but from what I've noticed, they havent increased prices on their bottles since. Most are about $6-7 per bomber around my area. Which is on par with most everyone else.

    I agree on Nebraska, never buying them again.

    Totally forgot about 3 Floyds...one of the worst offenders of this. Yet their really good stuff in 6 packs is very fairly priced. I don't get it.

    Besides barrel aged stuff what is FFF's super pricey on?

    Of the brews I can think of that I've had recently...DC Brau and Evil Twin (though I loved Lil' B).

    All of their bombers it seems. I've never seen one for less than $12. I saw non-BA Behemoth recently for $18.

    Disagree with the Ballast Point comments whole heartedly.

    Mikkeller. Overpriced and I don't think I've had anything from them I would recommend to someone.

    Expensive does not necessarily mean overpriced. Most beers I have had from The Bruery have been high quality, high gravity, and sour/BA. I don't mind shelling out a bit more for these on occasion.

    Evil Twin has definitely underwhelmed me though. I have had several at bottle shares and have always been left wanting better considering the price.

    Forgot about that one. I was recently in a bottle shop in Maryland with cases of their Pale Ale, IPA, and Amber just collecting dust. Good brews but there are beers just as good for $2-$3 less a sixer.

    Rogue. A lot of those crazy Italian imports, while tasty, cannot in any way justify their prices.
