    $23 is good. I haven't seen it under $28 (in DFW).

    "Only $23" I wouldn't pay more than $17, that pricing is just insane. And people complain about Prairie...

    It's normally €10-11. The rest is the cost of importation/extra distribution tier(s). Prairie doesn't have to move across the Atlantic.

    Prairie is close to that when you look at it per oz.

    Everything PAA barrel ages is at least that much. I paid $14 for AB Noir and $12 for Pirate Bomb.

    And St. Bernardus is much better beer. IMO of course. Not that Prairie is bad, but I don't think the cost justifies the beer inside. Obviously I am in the minority considering they sell so well.

    My friend and I both paid $31 each for a bottle of it. Was amazing, but not different enough from the regular abt 12 to warrant paying the price increase. I don't live in TX (Phx), but wanted to add my two cents..

    Amazing beer, but not any better than the 12.

    I drank one last night. While I loved the additional complexity of the barrel and Calvados, those flavors were very subtle, and not really worth the extra costs over the standard.

    The extra $10 - $15 per bottle over the original was not worth it. If you are on the fence, buy the regular and enjoy.
