    I paid about $90 (70 euro) for a bottle of Crianza from DHVL. And on the same trip I spent about $115 for a bottle of Blauw at Akkurat. Actually had a few more bottles like that at Akkurat too - Reed Gueuze Muscat and Pinot Noir, Millennium Geuze, 50th Anniversary, and Roze.

    27 on Eclipse. Wouldn't do it again... but at the time sounded like a good idea...

    Paid $30 for an '11 BA Old Ruffian two weeks ago. I hope it's worth it...

    $55 for Narke Kaggen! Stormaktsporter at Akkurat. Worth every penny. Though the same night I had Westvleteren 6 (as in not the blonde, but 6) and Narke Cognac Stormaktsporter, and they were just a little less.

    Black Tuesday was $30 plus a toy for their toy drive; I forget how much that was. I think I paid ~$40 for Levud's.

    Blabaer was no charity either. I think Cable Car Kriek at Toronado was $55?

    I've had the opportunity to buy Utopias many times and no part of me has ever wanted to do so.

    BCBS Rare. $50 was the value for it in a $4$ trade amoungst other goodies.

    Would I buy it again? Yes. But only one more.

    2008 was a fantastic vintage year for that beer wheather standard BCBS or Rare.

    $260 for a Sam Adams Utopias 10th Anniversary. I still have to open it to see if it was worth it.

    Think mine was $30 for Black Tuesday

    Price per ounce on some of the Evil Twins is pushing it though, Auld Yin and others being 12oz for $13

    I love WWS. I have plenty of BCBS that I would switch out for it for sure.

    Cantillon Classic Gueze for $17 and a Brewdog Tokio for $12. Pretty weak compared to what I've been seeing in this thread.
