    What recent beer purchase did you make that you still can't believe you got such a bargain? Today I bought Bell's Two Hearted Ale in 16oz. 4/packs for $7,99 each. I could see these going for a LOT more than that! So I bought 4 and left a few for some other lucky beer hunter.

    How about you? Find any great deals lately?

    I stopped in a random small beer shop to get a malt liquor for recent online tasting. YEA Natty Daddy 25oz for $1.59!

    But real bargain was the 750 ml corked and caged 30th Anniversary bottle from Boulevard Brewing in the very same cooler for $12.99. Yes, please, thank you!!

    Damn! I just cringe and pay market price. I don't think I've found a legit beer bargain in years.

    My local coop has Sans Pangaea from the Bruery in the cooler for $5. Really nice domestic kriek. Felt like stealing.

    Dogfish Head World Wide Stout is out and about, floating around... hope it gets the "Costco 120 Min" treatment: 25-26$ 4 packs. That's a deal for me.

    « Latest » is about two months ago but yes this summer I paid 3,50€ (4 bucks) for the original 750ml Saison DuPont in the northern tip of France (close to Belgium…)

    Seriously, so cheap that I felt like I robbed the supermarket or they made a mistake with the price tag.

    Earlier this year I found several varieties of sours from Wicked Weed on clearance at $2.99. Got several good ones, loved metatropics in particular.

    The local beer store had a couple bottles of 2018 Raison D'Extra in the clearance bin. $1 each, plus tax. Their loss for not knowing these get better with age.

    Speedway Stout 16oz cans for $0.75 each…was told because they were broken up 4-packs and a couple cans were dented. Tasted fine, damn fine.

    In Pennsylvania beer deals do not exist, since we are regularly paying the most beer taxes in the country, I consider the 12 - Yuengling Lord Chesterfield's I got cold for $14.50 a solid deal for context.

    And in an hour or so I will be purchasing a 12-pack of Yuengling Hershey's Chocolate Porter for a comparable price at my local Wegmans supermarket.

    Cheers to Yuengling 12-packs!

    P.S. I still have a few bottles left from my recent purchase of a 12-pack of Yuengling Oktoberfest. Not a great beer within the Oktoberfest beer style definition but just a great beer to drink.

    2 bottles for Allagash Nancy for $3 each. One of my favorites of all time, and it usually sells for about $15-20 per bottle. Well, it was somewhere in that price range, but the system at the store was messed up and the cashier typed in Allagash and just chose the first thing that came up. So yeah, a steal!

    I am uncertain as to the exact amount of money saved but last weekend I purchased a mix-a-six at my local Wegmans supermarket:
    • Schlafly Pumpkin Ale
    • Leffe Blond
    • Leffe Brune
    • Ommegang Solera
    • Ommegang Rosetta
    • Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest
    I paid 12 bucks for the above which is a good deal IMO.

    Cheers!

    It’s an old reliable. When I can’t find Tank 7, it’s my go-to farmhouse ale/saison.

    Just today I found a 22 ounce bottle of Stone’s Chai Russian Imperial Stout for $5.99. I have seen it for $10 once or twice so I thought it a steal. The bottle is all dusty and I am pleased to report that six years mellowed the chai spices to where they actually blend nicely with the RIS.
    Same South Philly distributor had Guinness Foreign Extra Stout for $6.99 (4 11.2 ounce bottles) and Warsteiner Dunkel for $7 (6 11.2 ounce bottles). Grabbed all three.

    Not according to The Tax Foundation, which lists PA excise tax rate on beer as #46 in the US at 8¢/gallon. (So, less than a cent on a 12 oz. bottle of beer).
