Most Expensive Beer You've Bought

$24 for Supplication at a restaurant. I'd get Supplication again, but I'd stick to bottle shops and waiting. Just found an $11 Consecration over the weekend.

 

$30 for Black Tuesday & Fruet

I will buy them again depending on how much extra cash I have lying around at the time.

 

$200 for a 2005 Utopias.

 

$20 for a 16oz growler, $1.25 per ounce.

 

hope you have one of these:

those that immediately come to mind:

$85 for Stone 15th 3L (would do again)
$42 for Scaldis Prestige in earlier days of beer geekiness (good beer but not worth $40)
$35 for 3F Schaerbeekse Kriek (worth it)
$30 for BT and 50/50s (will do again this year )
$20-$30 for various Cantillons (worth it and would pay $40 for Fou Foune)

 

I've spent $40 on individual bottles more than I care to admit. Some of the 3 liter bottles I have bought have been in the $100-170 range.

 

$45 for Rare. So worth it. It's been all downhill after that though and I've become somewhat desensitized to $20+ bottles of beer. Now it seems that there's no correlation between price and quality (if there ever was). We have brand new breweries in NC charging $25 for a bomber. Ummmm, no.

 

$85 for the Westvlereten 6 pack
$78 for Stille Nacht Reserva 2010
& $85 for Rare BCS which i never got to try... left it at my ex GF house.

 

€100 ($133) for a 2009 Black Tuesday. I wouldn't do it again, but no regrets after tasting it.



Know your priorities, but indulge when you can afford it. Life's too short.

 

Probaly this last April at the Delirum Cafe, I think around $60.

 

At the store I've spent $200 on Utopias twice, $45 for BC Rare. Would do both again. But I won't lie that I've spent in the higher hundreds for a couple bottles of beer for celebrations like a Wooden Hell for my 30th. I'd much rather spend that money on a good beer than a bottle of champagne or something that I'd probably wouldn't like nearly as much. I guess it depends on how you look at beer. I look at some of these bottles that I've had for years that will age like a fine wine as investments. So I mean if you have the extra money to spend I don't see the big deal. Its just like any other hobby or collecting habit. People are always going to spend too much on it haha

 

$30 for a black tuesday, and another 30 for a bottle of Alesmith BA Decadence.
$25 for a bottle of Cantillon.

 

Passed on a 50/50 eclipse for $30 so bolt cutter for $25.

 

Bottle (650 ml) Deschutes 'The Dissident' for $19
or
The 'Westy12 Brick' for $60

 

$30 for Cuir by The Bruery. If I saw a bottle of Fruet priced the same, I'd buy it in a heartbeat but the cheapest I've seen it in my area is $34.99...just can't make the leap.

 

165$ for a 9l St. Feuillien tripple
40$ cable car 09
30$ eclipse

 

$160 for Utopias.

 

Wife got me a $40 bottle of Scaldis Prestige de Nuits for Christmas. I then went out and used some X-mas gift money to purchase the 2012 bottling of Orkney Dark Island for $30, Brooklyn Black Ops at $23, and Cascade Apricot for $20. Before that, my highest was a couple bottles of Bolt Cutter at $23 a piece.

Have yet to try any of them except Apricot and Bolt Cutter. Those two were pretty good, but I was expecting more apricot from Cascade's offering.

EDIT: Nearly forgot my 375 ml bottles of La Trappe Oak Aged Quad (Batch #3) and La Trappe Oak Aged Isid'or. Those were $14.99 each. I went back and got another Batch #3 and have considered some more Isid'or.

 

$30 for Baller Stout at Three Floyds. I'm guessing around $35 would be my limit for a single bomber bottle. I think I paid $9 for a 12 oz 120 Minute from Dogfish Head. I can't imagine going past $10 for a 12 oz bottle. There are just too many good beers out there I haven't had a chance to try yet. Anything over typical beer prices are only paid for breweries that I know and trust.
