    Never see it around here locally, is it worth $17 a bottle? What does it go for other areas?

    Never had it, but I personally don't think any IPA/IIPA is worth $17 a bottle.

    Just read this in the first review on the beer's profile - 'This bottle was $17 here, but is available for half that price in Kentucky.'

    I paid $18 (i had no idea until i looked at my receipt). It's certainly not a "memorable" beer but it's good.

    Thank you, definitely not paying that.

    7.6% rotating IPA with a score of 87. I wouldn't spend that much on it.

    We do not see a lot of their beers but the ones I have had I do not think warrant the price - for me anyway.

    These threads keep popping up (and are sometimes deleted).
    I really love some of the beers that Against the Grain puts out. Great stuff. I've mainly had them on draught.

    I wonder if their current position in the marketplace will work out for them in the long run. I expect to see many of their beers not moving from shelves. I'm guessing that the asking prices have a lot to do with the distributor, but I don't know.

    If you're willing to pay for it, then it's worth it.

    You know, I asked the question because I thought my local shop was trying to rip me off, but after doing a bit of research on here, it seems like the price isn't too far off. $17 for a 22oz IPA with no bottle dating.... Unreal.

    I think I paid ~$14.99 or so for it, and even then, I felt like I had been taken for a ride.

    Fact based rationale steeped in logic - we need more of this, and less emotion-driven impetuous pitchfork wielding!

    I just saw that at the store yesterday...

    I decided not to purchase it as I could get 8 GREAT IIPA's for that price. I wouldn't pay that much for the #1 rated IIPA in the world.
