    Either Bourbon Barrel Angel's Share at $21 or Alesmith Barrel Aged Wee Heavy at $35. Neither of which I have drank yet. Think I just prefer looking at them and wondering if they are really worth it.

    Pooled together 4 $5 raffle tickets with 3 friends (so $60) to try to win a bottle of 2015 Rare BCBS. Given that we agreed to crack it together if any of us won, I think it was totally worth it... Oh, and yes, we won that bottle!

    On the mainland, $30 for DBJ.

    Here in HI, Rye Abyss for $25. Seems we got a lot of it here, been on the shelves for a month. Also recently got a '14 MOAS for $25. Found it sitting in a fridge at one of the beer stores here.

    $30 for a .375 of Deliverance from Lost Abbey.. And I would do it again.. Since that time the same store has lowered the price to $20.

    This year's rare x2 at retail. Haven't opened one yet so remains to be seen whether it's worth the price. I have a feeling it is.

    Top three:

    SA Utopia $220.00 (not worth it)
    BC Rare $70.00 (not worth it)
    FFF Murda'd Out Stout $50.00 (way worth it)

    I usually purchase the limited Hill Farmstead bottles that run about 20-30 bucks. Like BA Everett and CD16 this past weekend and similar releases. IMO the quality is worth the price.

    Per ounce was probably Lost Abbey's Track #08, which was something like $25 for a small bottle.

    $225 for a bottle of lawsons double sunshine. I got a Hen of the Wood gift card, and a few other local ipas as part of a package and the money went to a local food shelf so it was well worth it.
