    What craft breweries do you find overpriced in a large portion of their offerings? Not just high priced but beer that is not worth the money they're charging?

    I love the beers but... Great Divide. $26 is too much for any beer.

    Though I've never actually had any of their beers as to be able to weigh in on the quality/price ratio, I want to say Nebraska.

    Top 2 have been mentioned...Lost Abbey because even when they're carbonated, they're still overpriced.
    Rogue = Sub-par beer regardless of price, it just so happens to be over-priced.

    I'm also going to add Ballast Point when it comes to Sculpin. I would add Stone's Ruination BUT!!!! they've added too much value towards their other offerings so they're off the hook...pun intended.

    Few good ones here. I'll add/repeat:

    * Bruery
    * Lost Abbey
    * Fifty Fifty

    Edit: how could I forgot 3 Floyds DIPAs when Heady Topper is ~12.99/4-pack!

    Bruery is pricey but always delivers. So i have a hard time calling them overpriced.

    Dogfish Head is overpriced, except for 90 minute IPA.

    Lost Abbey's Red barn for $7 and Serpent's Stout for 11$ are very worth it. But $15 for Red Poppy? eh...

    Very region specific but Leech Lake Brewing (MN) is way overpriced for what they create....

    Bruery is overpriced for sure, I won't try any Nebraka with mediocre reviews and pricey. People saying North Coast confuse me, Old Raspy is one of the best bang for the buck RIS's you can buy(the BA version is overpriced) and across the board their prices seem reasonable.

    The Bruery makes me fear and despise saisons. Also Rock Bottom. You guys claim to bottle condition your bombers. With what? Water?

    DFH doesn't seem pricey to me... 10$ for a 4pk of 90, 9 for 60min, and the bombers are 10-13. Not the cheapest, but way cheaper than 16-25 for LA here, or 15 for Bruery seasonal off the shelf stuff

    $130 - $140 For a case of Lindemans. I know the bottles have foil, corks, and weigh like 2 pounds but I just want the beer.

    How can you fear and despise saisons from your experience with one brewery? What about your experience with Fantome, Dupont, etc.? Perhaps you don't like the style in general?

    Really? Was it bad beer, or you just didn't like it?


    My list of overpriced beer is: DFH, BrewDog, Rogue, Lost Abbey, Bruery and just about all of the crappy BMC import beers which have a high price tag because they're imported, but they're still crap.
