    I've seen at least one place (in Illinois of all places) charge $50 per four-pack. Some people are just very very dumb.

    This was from my time in Lexington, KY. I moved back to Louisville after school, and I still am yet to find BCBS on the shelves of any local bottle shop here either! Just seems to be a hard beer to come by in this state.

    I'm hoping that *MAYBE* I'll finally be able snag some at this year's Black Friday release date, but I won't hold my breath haha. If, however, I come across a 22oz of the Vanilla Rye... might easily qualify for "best day ever."

    I've never personally seen bottles on the shelf in my area and would definitely grab them at $7 each. Only time I've seen it for sale was a 32oz. growler pour and I believe it cost me $21.99

    uhh. put it like this. that picture was taken yesterday. the market's zip code is 941something. i'd say your bottle shop deserves an asswhoopin'.

    1.50 more per bottle, 9 months later? That's a great price. But then again, the real question for you is are you willing to pay for it?

    Usually I see bottles outside of a 4-6 pack about .50 more expensive. For something so sought after that is 9 months past the release date, I'd say you struck gold! Especially if you want something pre-aged and you do not want to deal with getting some this fall.

    I would buy those in a heartbeat. Then again I live in Ohio and have to trade to get BCBS.

    I can't think of anything better 21 bucks would buy than 3 BCBS. Quit taking pictures and Buy, Buy!

    The stores have every right to sell to whomever, but that guy who is hunting down an entire supply is just...wrong. I would never purposely wipe out a supply of a store in a super rare beer unless there was just 1 left that otherwise I couldn't try.

    I wouldn't pay it, 25 for four pack or 6.25 per bottle is my cap.

    i found 4 packs for $19.99 the other day but i regularly see them for $25. I would say $7/single is a fair enough price. Especially if you need a fix of BCBS.

    It's a little overpriced but nothing terrible. I would buy some if I didn't have any. My main concern would be how they were stored.

    Not really. The cheapest I ever saw it in the city was $25.

    If you walked into a bar and ordered just about any craft, 12 ounces for 7$ probably would be a steal.

    Harder to find beers are worth the sticker price, if you enjoy the beer.
