    I surprisingly saw some Backwoods bastard at a store near me today for 19.99 a 4 pack....I was late getting out to look for it when it came out so the usual place is was long gone. I got 2 bottles about a week ago. so Im not sure what it was going for this year...is this a high price for it or the going rate? The store in question has a tendency to mark stuff like this up so I wanted to check.

    They are also one of only place in the ares to get the BC stuff so fay and they only had the bareywine and they wanted 8.99 for a 12 oz bottle?

    I paid about $10.99 in WI. Such a great beer for the price.

    Devil Dancer is still a more expensive beer than Harvest or Backwoods Bastard. Usually retails around $5 a bottle.

    probably the same store im thinking of. ive been complaining quite a bit and i talked them down a few bucks on a couple beers. i believe they had devil dancer at 29.99 this year though if its the same store. i know they currently have backwoods for 19.99 and shipwreck for 9.99.

    Yes Im sure its the same place....nice place and nice people I must honestly say just a bit crazy with some of their prices..... they do have a pretty good selection though. Not beer related but they got some Pappy this year and wanted 80 for the 10 year and like 159 for the 15.....which was high yes but apparently not even close to as high as some other places where trying to charge...still far more than I was willing to pay for it....

    Just went to a shop by my apartment who had recently gotten in two 4 packs. They were generous enough to offer single bottles for $7/bottle......I will not be going back....

    Seriously out of hand pricing. I'd have to pass on that location...having purchased it for 15.99 & seen it for as high as 17.99. Bell's Expedition & Java Stout prices can get pretty crazy too depending on location.

    sorry to resurrect this (Lazarus project anyone?) but seeing the MSRP for this being so low in other states really grinds my gears, considering I just paid $18 after tax in Metro Detroit.

    13.99 at the 2 stores I picked it up at this year.... A bit steep for what I will usually pay for beer but I believe it to be Founder's best beer.

    Prices seem to be all over the place all around the country. Can't imagine what we'll see later this month when BCBS is released :confused:

    I paid $16.99 in Chicago (a ripoff but wanted to make sure I got at least one 4 pack), but a nearby store had it for $13.99. Neither lasted long.

    Damn, I paid $10.99 last year. It's up to $14.99 this year. Thank you CW for making such a wonderful BBSA this year for less.
