    It was a joke. I like saisons, it's just that the one's that Bruery have put out have been so poor (to my taste) that I was "afraid" to taste other saisons cuz I thought they'd taste like the Bruery's. Get it?

    The Bruery. Brewdog.

    I think the Lost Abbey's prices are pretty fair for most of their higher range beers. Their standard offerings can be a bit pricey, but don't piss me off like The Bruery and Brewdog.

    Bruery, DFH, and Mikkeller.
    Honorable mention Lost Abbey - but I'm still willing to shell out for Deliverance, damn that's a tasty beverage..

    I love Oskar Blues but find some of their beers to be very overpriced. Particularly Ten Fiddy and Gubna which both run $14-$15 here for a 4 pack. Especially considering I can buy Old Rasputin for $8-9 and many quality double IPA's for $9-$10, I find myself not drinking as much OB as i used to.

    White Birch. Whatever they are charging for it, it's exactly that much over priced.

    The first two that come to mind for me are Mikkeller and Nebraska. Those $16 mini bottles of BA beer geek breakfast are one of the most hilarious things on shelves right now. I've had some Nebraska stuff that I thought was alright, but at $25-30 per bottle, it's gonna sit there for a long time.

    Honorable mention to North Coast for the $20-25 500mL bottles (except BA old stock, that was worth it), Sculpin bombers and pretty much everything produced by Brewdog.

    Oskar Blues. They're always talking about how much cheaper cans are and yet I see Ten Fidy and Deviant Dales for $15.99 a 4-pack. Get real.

    Let me guess, jacked up price on BA Old Ruffian? It would have to be, right? I think we get the Yeti variations for $9 a bomber, which is a decent price IMHO

    +1 Mikkeller, $6 for a single bottle of an IPA that uses only one hop is outragous

    I love FFF but some of thier bombers are a little pricey when compared to other beers for style.

    True for the Ten Fidy and Gubna ($18-$20), But Deviant Dale's is $12-$13 where I'm at and I think it's fair. Also, Dale's Pale Ale is solid at $9.99 IMO.

    Stone is one that I find to be over priced - at least the six-packs. Levitation is usually around $15 and Ruination close to $20. I know Ruination's great and all, but considering most 6 packs stay around the $12-$14 point, it just feels like a lot.

    All breweries are overpriced to me because their beer is not free.

    First brewery that came into my head, but like you I have never tried any of their beers and that is solely because of their price point. One of my local distributers made a huge deal when he got in three of their beers, BA Black Betty, Apricot Au Poivre Saison and I think the last was Hop God. The CHEAPEST is $25, the Black Betty is $30
