Your most overpriced buys

That's pretty much the answer I was going to type. I bought 3, drank one fresh, drank the second one after 2 years, gave the third away.

 

I can't say I have ever paid a "crazy" price for a beer anywhere. But if I had to think of something I'd say $36 for two bottles of Westy 12 shipped from Belgium.

 

Thanks to everyone for making Oerbier Reserva seem like a reasonable purchase.

 

I bought 7 bottles of Utopias this year. I am newer to the beer side of collecting and cellaring (long time in wine) but I bought most of them to trade with others that have things I wanted. It has worked out very well for all parties. I got some nice things like verticals of Dark Lord, Marshal Zhukov's, Behemoths, Baller Stouts, BCS Rare, 50/50 Eclipse, KBS and others. I kept 2 bottles but traded the others. One of the best brews to trade overall. Just a bit spendy at $200/bottle.

 

$13 for a bomber of Sculpin.

 

$73 for TNP, and $114 for Bismarck. They're novelty beers I had to try, but damn it hurt to pay it.

At a bar several years ago before I knew better, I was tricked into thinking Ola Dubh 30yr was nearly impossible to find and super limited, so I paid $45 for it. Bartender even went 'to get it', it wasn't on the beer list. I wanted to at least keep the box/bottle, but the bartender said he couldn't allow it. Found it in a good package store the next week for $11.99, plenty of them actually. At least I got the box and bottle this time, I bought four of them.

 

26 dollars for KBS? That belongs in the "under priced buys" form since it usually around here runs 11-13 dollars a bottle. I didn't buy it at that price but do remember getting it the year before for $6.50 a bottle.

Ow and last year we got like 1/4 of the stock we had. Debating on just driving to MI and grabbing a case for 100 bucks...

 

per oz, the highest i've ever paid for something off the shelf, by far, is $31 for a 375mL of Golden Blend.

only thing that beats that is the ~10 bucks i paid for a 1 oz pour of Utopias. that, however, was entirely worth it, and IMO, the ideal way to try it - i doubt i will ever buy a bottle of Utopias but it was nice to try!

 

golden blend is fire though worth every penny.

most expensive beer purchase was mikkeller black buffalo at 20 bucks for a 12 ounce bottle. one sip and instant drain pour, so i'd say per ounce thats pretty expensive, considering it is of the doodie variety

 

Any DFH bomber post-2010.

 

Cant tell if you're being serious or not.

I was at a baseball game, and it had alcohol in it, not sure if I need to explain further.

 

This is a prime example of a wannabe, folks. Take note. Member since Sunday, ripping Bud just to fit in, and failing to realize that any free beer is good beer as long as it's not skunked or poisoned.

 

Barrel Aged Old Rasputin. Didn't "overpay" per say. Bought it for what it was retailing at in Whole Foods. Around $21 or $22. It already had a year of age on it to boot. One of the most dissapointing Barrel Aged Stouts I've had. Funky Jewbelation as well. Still, bought it at a retailing pricepoint, but it ended up a drainpour after finishing 1/4 the bomber.

Bombers of Sculpin or any IPA/DIPA in a 22oz priced over $8

 

BA police. Are you giving us the playbook on how to be BEER Cool Meeeaaaaaaaannn ;-P

 

Brews and tattoos, bruh. Brews and tattoos...

 

sounds like an Eagle Provisions price point...

 

bingo!

 

Rogue Voodoo Bacon Maple Ale. 14.99 for a disappointing bomber.

 

that must have been disappointing. it's barely worth the $2.50 i pay for it, imo.

 

didn't FFF recently start distributing in europe? i think i read that somewhere.
