    Eh, bit much but pretty sure I paid $32 for BA Wee Heavy at the brewery.

    $40+ for Black Damnations. I really like the ones I've tried, but can't rationalize that price tag. My father in law bought two at $43 apiece when we were at a bar a month back. Glad he was not thinking clearly at the time, and I wasn't paying!

    Probably Nebraska Brewing. I've tried it, not interested in trying it again.

    Or Rochefort 10 for $5.50.

    I'm surprised by a lot of these answers. Maybe I'm cheap? I gasped when I paid $11 for a 22-ounce Stone Unapologetic Imperial IPA. It was well worth it though!

    Yep. Excepting beers priced like Utopias, the answer to this entire thread is: professional sporting events and strip clubs.

    $30 for Positive Contact....I didn't see what I had paid until I left the store. I got excited and my beer goggles were on at that point, so checking the math was not a priority. I felt pretty ripped off though.

    That was a very good beer, but I do not think it is worth $9. I just had it recently too so I know my memory is not failing me!

    I was going to say this, but I think I paid $7.00 (maybe more) for the 11.2 ouncer. Would rather buy a bomber of St. Bernardus to share with my wife.

    I typically stay away from most of the numbers that I've seen thrown around this site. I paid $15 for a 375 ml once and was okay with the value, but having drank it I'm less likely now to buy similar beers at similar prices.

    49.99 for Black Damnation I - Black Berry Albert - De Struise Brouwers and was quite disappointed I also brought it to a bottle share and got maybe 3-4oz, would have rather had a 6 pack of Yetis

    I'm not sure if these are the going rates, but they seemed expensive to me.
    $15 for a BrewDog Paradox Jura.
    $20 for a bomber of Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break (haven't had this one yet).

    Last week, picked up the Spiteful Klutzy Baffoon, aged in absinthe barrels, $20. So far from worth it.

    One of those "can say you had it" things. Need to be more careful. If it seems like a gimmick, prolly is.

    $34 for Cascade Noyaux. It was good, but not $34 good. And a note to all of the Bruery haters, especially the East Coasters, you guys get the worst selection of their beers at a pretty high markup as well. Yes, their stuff is expensive. But try a Black Tuesday, Mocha Wednesday, Grey Monday for BA big beers. Or a sour in the Rye w/ pineapple and coconuts, the wanderer, befuddlement for sours.
