I just went to the beer store and picked up a sixer of Stone Ruination IPA and a bottle of Chimay Grande Reserve. I'm still in shock at the price I just paid. I almost didn't buy them, but I wanted to introduce a friend to the Ruination, and I just like to drink a bottle of the Chimay now and then.
The Chimay was $12.99, definitely the most I've ever paid for it. The Ruination was ... get this ... $15.49 for a six pack. Yep, that's right. That's $2.58 per bottle! Sure you'd expect to pay around double that in a bar, but this is a beer and wine store price.
I love both of these beers, but I'm out of the game at this price. My own beer is satisfying enough, but I'll miss drinking some of my favorite microbrews and specialty imports.
What are y'all paying for these two beers in your area?
