    Yep, was $7.99 in San Antonio when I bought one last week while down in Texas. Glad I saved a few bucks since it's going for $12/bottle now in Iowa. Haven't tried it yet, but would agree with previous posts that the price is pretty damn high for not being a BA stout.

    Since it's a beer that I can't get here in Minnesota, and one that I would love to try I would pay the $12 once. It would end up costing me more in shipping if I were to trade for it I presume.

    $7.99 in Indiana. A good beer, but not worth the price tag.

    It's $31/4pk in Arkansas. Way outta line with reality.

    Not Bomb but Bible Belt was 9.99$ a 12oz here in Jax, FL (Figured bomb and belt would be close in price)

    I picked up two bottles here a while ago and I think it was around $7/bottle. I thought that the beer was good but it didn't blow me away and I won't buy it again. That's pretty consistent with my thinking on all of the Prairie beers that I've had.

    Yep, bought 2 Bible Belt and 2 Bomb! recently, both at $11.99 a bottle. BB was awesome and though Bomb! was a good beer it's not in the same universe as 2x the price of a single BCBS (and neither is BB even though I loved it). I'm of course a part of the problem I buying at that price point but I'd read enough about how great they are I "had" to try them for myself. I'm learning as I go but no more of that.

    Shit's ridiculous.

    I've paid $5.99-8.99. Excellent beer but I think $4-5 is a little more appropriate, then again what the hell do I know

    $7.99-$9.99 here in CO when it hit shelves last month. Pretty damn high when you look at the competition...

    They were $22-23 in my area, and we're not known for amazing prices.

    As amazing as Bomb! is, I can't see paying $12 a bottle. That sounds like a shitty shop. Individual bottles are usually more than a 4-pack price, but that's nuts.

    Paid something like $12.00 a few weeks back for the last remaining bottle at a local grocer (the price wasn't showing, so i had no idea before I bought it what the price was). Now that I've tasted it, I'd be willing to pay more -- Outstanding! :slight_smile:

    $8.99 in Indianapolis. If a store is charging more then they are taxing their customers.

    I paid less than $6 at The Bier Garten in Jenks, OK. Bible Belt and the Wine Noir was $7 or $8 each. Glad I didn't have to pay Indiana prices.

    I paid $9.99 per each 12 ounce bottle, expecting it to be worth the price I bought the 3 bottle limit. It is good but not worth the price.

    Didn't get bomb, but I did pay $10.50 for a Bible Belt. It was great, but Prairie's pricing is a bit over the top compared to similar sought-after stouts on the market.

    Kahns buys everything Prairie. I'd assume Crown got some too.
