    This is one of the only quads I like... I used to buy 2-3 4 packs a year and cellar 2-6 bottles a year... but this past year (maybe two) I just can't bring myself to pay the $$$ for it. In 2009 I paid $12.50 for a 4-pack... Recently I saw it for around $23. But then a few days later saw it for around $18 somewhere else. Both were places I'd say have average prices. I am guessing ~$18 is the average price. But I have no idea. Going from $12.50 to $18 over 5 years isn't that crazy but still seems a little steep.

    In another thread (about costco) people mentioned seeing 3 packs of bombers for $9.99 ?! Marked down from $22-23? But even $23 for 3 bombers is way cheaper than $23 for a 4 pack.

    Beer pricing makes me crazy.

    It's $18-20 here, and were about as far west from them as you can get without leaving the US.

    I've never seen a 4-pack. But I did see a "cellared 3-pack" of three years, I think it was 2011, 12, and 13. I assumed the price was astronomical since 750's are like $13 near me. Still, interesting concept. The bottles in the 3-pack were all 750's. I don't believe they came with a collector's glass.

    Great beer though. Wish I could drink it more often.

    5.49 for 1 bottle or 17.99 4pk of 12oz, or 11.99 for 25.4oz bottle

    I haven't had it yet actually, going to have to fix that. Cheaper quad price in comparison to the Rochefort, Pannepot, StB.Abt which I like and can get regularly

    I have seen that also. Interestingly, it was cheaper to buy the 3 pack of 750's, than it was to buy 3 single 750's (and those weren't "aged" a year or two like the cellared pack was.


    OP, 4 pack is 16.99 here, with the 750 going for 12.99.

    $13.99 here, just saw a 4-pack today. I'm seeing some sick prices in this thread. :grimacing:

    I don't know about 4-packs but a 750ml bomber is always $6.50 at my local Wholefoods. Was on sale the other day for $5 :confused:

    Used to be $12.99, crept up to $15.99 the last year or two. I'll pay the extra $3 and get a 4pk of St Bernardus Abt 12.
