Most Expensive Single Bottle You've Bought?

$11.27 for a bomber of Rogue Sriracha Stout. Shared the beer, we all thought it was okay. The issue became who got to keep the decorative bottle.

 

The $30 price tag for Chocolate Rain. Worth it. Next runner up... $25 for prior Cycle releases. Again, worth it.

 

$32 for an AleSmith BA Speedway with Vietnamese Coffee. Still haven't cracked it (after 18 months)...

 

$31 for a bottle of Trignac XII. Saving it to share with my daughter when she turns 21 this December.

 

$60 for BC Rare.

 

Most expensive bottle: La Folie for $16.99 or $0.77/oz.
Most expensive per unit volume: Prairie Birthday Bomb for $10.99 or $0.92/oz.

 

Schorschbock Ice 57 - $289.99 for a 6.75oz bottle

 

$17 for a bottle of 120 minute. managed to haggle down to $12 one time though, so that was pretty cool.

 

Contemplating $100 for a Lou Pepe Gueuze.

Other than that, $30ish for Casey stuff.

 

A few weeks ago while on a business trip in DC, I paid $30 for a can of Heady. I figured it was now or never. In the same store (near Dupont Circle) they also had several bottles of Bourbon County, Bruery, etc. for sale for prices between $299 and $150!

 

$20 for Mexican Coffee Cake and a Special Collaboration from Quest in Greenville, SC

 

Intense Red by 3F for $45. Was good. Not $45 good, but good.

 

$34 for a bottle of Bruery Cuivre, excellent beer but very, very pricey. My brother in law just paid $80 for a Black Tuesday which in my opinion is absurd.

 

Flying Monkeys The Matador Version 2.0 El Toro Bravo for $28.99

 

I usually buy the limited release brews from Hill Farmstead that are typically $30 or so. Some are 375, some are 750. All have been worth the money! Their "shelf" options are all priced great, so I don't feel bad getting a few of the expensive options.

 

$12 for 12oz of gueze
$15 for a liter of Paulaner Oktoberfest Weisn

 

$30 for Brooklyn Black Ops

 

I've paid $30+ many times for some of the Cascade Barrel House bottles. I think I paid around $30 for a 2008 Abyss last year (drank is at christmas and is was totally worth it!).

 

2 weeks ago my wife said she wanted to have a special drink to mark my son's first birthday.

Champagne? Wine?

She said..."No, I want to have a special beer."

I basically narrowed the choices down to a 750ml 3F Gueze and a bottle of FW XIX...both $25.







Since she isn't too crazy about sours, I got the XIX. Going to open it in a few weeks. Before that? $15 for Parabola.

 

Sahalie about a month ago, $38.

 

1 West Dupont.

I hate sharing this information but that store doesn't do a very good job of making sure what is there is fresh either.

Hopefully your can of Heady is okay.

 

It is the most overpriced - by far - store in the DC area. And somehow they get away with it.

 

My answer to the OP as well, most expensive by the oz at least. I've purchased several bombers of Selkirk Abbey's Cuvee de la Nuit Profonde at roughly $18 each, but still cheaper by the oz than the weasel poop beer.

And, yeah, it was some great shit!

 

Exspensive restaurant that had Sump bombers. Paid $30 for the bomber with a great meal and didn't regret it.

 

$40 a bottle. Will drink one and, likely, eventually trade the rest.

 

That's going to be hard to beat.

 

At this price, it better come with the hookers.

 

You know, I was going to ask if it was delivered by the escort but I decided against it. Thank you for picking up the slack.

 

2013 SA Utopias at $190. Next up is prolly a tie between Eclipse or O'Dells 180 Schilling. I shared a bottle of Speedway Stout that had the coffee bean in it that the Civic Cat went to get but I didn't pay for it.

 

It's the extra .05 that really gets ya.

 

$40 for 3F Hommage. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, as I've grown to love sours so much more since.

 

I bought that once, it wasnt very good to me, not worth the $33 I paid for it

 

40 bucks for a bottle of Anchorage's A Deal With The Devil. I was supposed to have this on my wedding day two weeks ago, but the ABV was way too high for me on a day that I'm supposed to remember forever. Needless to say, I threw it in the fridge and never drank it. Maybe just maybe I'll end up drinking it.

 

I've never really broken twenty bucks. Places will charge what they can get for beer, and I don't want to contribute to excessive margins.

 

I think Bourbon County Rare, at $60+tax, was my most expensive single bottle purchase.

 

I've paid $18 for several different bombers.

 

Went there. Walked out. Ridiculous

 

14.99 Stickee Monkee

 

$25 for Vanilla Rye on Black Friday 2014. I still have it. I see it on sites now going for $200 a bottle. I may open it on my 50th birthday in September.

 

Was this a one off? Ive always wanted to t3y this bottle. And id aomost pay that now
