How bad did I get ripped off?

Contrary to what everyone said, the best price you got was for the bourbon county. Yeah i got a 4 pack for as cheap as 18.99 and a few others around $22, places that had them that cheap sold out in days if not hours. Any places around here that had BC still on the shelf were charging at least $25. I bought the last 4 pack i saw in march for $28.99. If i saw 24.99 bourbon county i would buy it all day right now. The others id pass on.

The ruinten is either that price or a buck cheaper. Two hearted and centennial are usually 10 or 11. Sometimes ive seen centennial for 9.

 

Give or take $1 - those are standard DC area prices for those brews. And some nice brews they are.

 

get your ass to whole foods. its under 8 over there

 

I paid that much for BCBS, but I'm nowhere near any big city so that's to be expected. Can't find Two Hearted around me. Centennial seems a bit expensive for what you got it at. Don't know the second-to-last one. And I've been unable to find RuinTen. It really sucks living where I do; can't find any of the super-hyped beers, and when I find one, it costs an arm and a leg.

 

Regional differences. People in Colorado, Missouri, Wisconsin or Texas might think the OP is getting ripped off, while people in NY, Mass or DC would not.

 

That I will do then.

 

I would probably pay close to $20 for a bottle of BCBS if I could ever find it with all the hype it gets...

 

Yeah, I paid 6.19 for a bomber and still wasn't super pleased with it. Gimme regular Ruination or Stone IPA any day.

 

Wish I could buy bcbs for 25$ lol I especially when you factor stuff like parabola runs 14-16 a bomber so this is par for the world class stout course.

 

don't know where everyone gets BCBS <$24. Chicago is pretty standard for $23.99. 2hearted is $10-12 here as well. Centennial is about $10-12 here, Ruinten varies but the lowest I've seen it in $7.50.

 

Couldn't disagree more... Ruinten is a world class DIPA, and for <$7/22oz, there aren't a lot of better deals out there. Ruination and IPA are great but not on the same level.

 

the store around the corner from me has bcbs for 27.99 i think we all know what store that is

 

Totally depends on the AREA..assuming "most" stores in the mix are legit. Prices are what prices are in certain states. At least in my experiences.
Also, not everywhere gets everything. (laws factor in as well w/ certain ABV%'s) ..Or just flat-out availability.

- Devil Dancer 20.99/4pk here in NE Ohio
- KBS..I think I paid close to $26-30 for This one /4pk
- Hotimum 9.99/4pk (which is still pretty plentiful, I drink this all day @ that price....well, not really)
- Hog Heaven 5.99 a Bomber
- Avery IPA 9.99/6er (basic mid-high level Craft price, depending) seems like most 6pks of diff stuff are either 9.99 or 11.99
- BIGFOOT 10.50

..but then again, I get my pick of some Great Ohio beers not everyone can get either, prices vary depending on whether or not they are still trying to "break-out" of the Just Local type market too.

- for example -
Fat Head, Great Lakes, the Brew Kettle (White Raja, Old 21, CopperHead Red, Dark Helmet..write those down & mark my words. They will be highly Sought after).
I usually get a great price on GL but not so much on Brew Kettle ..GL is twice the size, so..unless I drive an hour 1/2 to Clev.

 

Just annyoying when you wrongfully attack a post for supposedly not answering the question and then dont do it yourself.

What do you pay for these? was the question

 

yes but that was in Amsterdam for a 5 year bottle, before I spent weeks trying to get the cases of the 12 directly.
I still do not advocate rip off prices, and quite frankly I am a person who looks for value. That said if your traveling, know your prices, or ask on here first. Still I do have my days of what the heck its just cash, its not like its spent before he paid the rent, I hope....

 

Are you happy with what you got? thats really all that matters. Sure its a few dollars here, few there but thats the way it goes. When you find it on the shelf its easier than trading and paying shipping etc.

 

Maybe overpaid a tad bit, but not much. Most were maybe 10% over what I see around me.

 

Trying going by the store again and see if those were really the last 2 4-packs he had.

 

Drink them, and then you'll be the judge if you got ripped off. If you enjoy it enough that you'd pay that price to drink it again, then you didn't get ripped off.

 

Uhhh... I'm reminded of that every time I see my paycheck carved in half with taxes. I'll spend the other half on BCBS and guzzle it with no inhibitions.
