    Evil Twin, hands down.
    It's especially annoying for me since I've only had one beer from them that I've actually liked (Imperial Biscotti Break). New Year's Eve in a New York Hotel Room was not good. Epilogue I hated, a lot. Even More Jesus was pretty weak... and the Perfect Crime beers were all drainpours for me. I've heard good things about Ashtray Heart, but not enough to make me pay the crazy price for them.

    I guess the apples don't fall far from the tree, because Mikkeller would be next. Hated Black Hole, Big Worse, and I Hardcore U. I didn't mind the Single-Hop Nelson Sauvin though. Actually rather enjoyed that one. Still not worth the price.

    The Bruery (Many of their beers sound interesting and would try more
    but $15-22 a 750ml is steep when I can amazing for $10 or under.

    =====
    To the poster you suggested Stone...you are joking right?
    Best by 9-13-2013 was $6.99 for 750ml bought one less than 10 days ago.
    Maybe your shops are jacking the prices up?

    Someone should throw together a chart and put a $/oz for all of these.

    Lighten up Victor...it was an attempt at humor ala Robin Williams from the 80's movie "The Survivors". Maybe you had to have seen the flick to catch it.

    Lagunitas uses a ton of hop extract and oils instead of flowers and/or pellets. Probably keeps the price down.

    Williams was high--his jokes sometimes aren't. I have no recollection of that film, but, as far as being relaxed goes, you seem to have missed the sarcasm in my reply. Not that it's of much consequence...

    Maybe so. Seems that the science of the market place merges with the science of brewing. Good on Lagunitas.

    Hell, I like Lagunitas l'il something or other. Come on ya'll, Mork is still a big problem with his pervasive obscurity, it just never went away and I almost always nearly peed in my pants listening to the blessed fool. I never took smoking turds very seriously, but I've never smoked. Cheers friends.

    Did you ever watch Mork and Mindy? I'm glad that Robin Williams is still with us and I love your perspective. Honest.

    I find many of Spoetzel (Shiner) overpriced. I find Leinenkugel also very overpriced as well for the quality too.

    Yes. It was the peek of his career, although he seems to have found a new niche--being a creepy old man...

    Locally you can get a mixed case for about $30.00 and, of course, it's fresh. Drink whatever's local to your area.

    Seriously? Best value out there IMO

    Not in Minny. Not even close.

    And yes, Nebraska is way expensive.

    First i think you paid too much. They should have been priced closer to the $8 Mark. (Thats after distribution to AZ) i don't remember what the Brewery sells them for but its $6-$7.

    Secondly and this is just my personal Opinion but i care more about Taste/Flavor vs. Alchool. Grain Alchool is much higher than DFH120 and about 1/15th the cost per oz. (Edit Sorry i see you made a second post that addressed this issue)

    Now is CS on the more expensive side? Sure! I can't tell you how many 375ml i've spent 10.20 on this year (but those are all barrel aged sours) and would be the equivlanat of Bruery $30 beers IMHO. Expensive yes but i don't think overpriced. Just my 2 cents.
