the most you ever paid for beer

[exc503]

I think it was $22 or $25 on Allagash Fluxus. And $20 on Sam Adams imperium.

[Onkel_Udo]

$14 US for a pint of Guinness at the bar between arrivals and Passport control in the Dubai airport. 5 months without a beer also made it the best barley pop ever to pass my lips.

 

[rlmiller10]

Well I would say about $100,000 for a six of Bud. I drank it before my wedding to get courage to go through it. Later that was the cost of the divorce

 

[Qhrumphf]

My most expensives thus far:

~$50 for a 5 year old bottle of Rodenbach Grand Cru (entirely worth it)
~$12-15 for various 10 oz pours of Russian River beers. Pliny wasn't worth it. Supplication was hands down.
~$12-15 for various 10 oz pours of Cantillon beers. All worth it hands down without exception.

I've paid in the neighborhood of $20-25 for a number of 750mls over the years, and won't do it for most beers, but for sours and the like, it's usually worth it to me.

 

[MrNic]

$12 for a 12 oz bottle of 120 minute IPA.

 

[Quaker]

$50 for Murd'd Out Stout collab beer. Took it with a dozen other treats to Shanghai and shared with the expat brewers and craft lovers there.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Most for a single beer? $38 for a 750mL bottle of Angel's Share. Bought it when my second child was born in 2009. Aged it for 18 months, popped it the day we closed on our house and... it was flat. Bastards!

Most overall? I bought the Westy 12 six-pack for $85+tax... Although I split it with a buddy, so that was only ~$45 for me.

 

[bleme]

$15 for Brux

I forgot about that one. Hah.

 

[Kee]

Now I can buy a few 750 ml tripels at $12 a bottle and feel good about it.

 

[dstranger99]

$9.00 for pick your own 6 beers @ Food Lion.

 

[drainbamage]

$30 for a bomber of Dark Lord. I still haven't drank it to determine if it was worth the investment.

I also attempted (unsuccessfully) to buy one of those Westy XII bricks that came out a while back. What were those, like $125?

 

[GibbyGibson]

Just spent $20 on one bottle of Goose Island Lolita. Special release of three sisters. Opening it tonight for our anniversary.

Side note: I spent an extra $12 for a mix and match six pack for all of the pr-anniversary festivities.

If I recall correctly, it was $84.99 plus tax. I think it ended up at $90 and change for me.

 

[bigjohnmilford]

150+ for 2 cases of Heady Topper @ the brewery this past summer. Won't have the chance again.

Yeah, that's right. I must've been thinking of Utopias.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

25 or something like that for Chimay's Cent CInquente or whatever their 150 anniversary ale was. That was the most for a single beer. Most expensive beer purchase was one time I bought a case of 90 minute for like 60 bucks.

Recently I haven't bought too much expensive ales. I think the last one I bought that was 10 bucks a bottle or more was Brookyln's 25th Anniversary Lager.

 

[ffd520]

My sister's boyfriend just got a bottle of Sam Adams' 2013 Utopia... at the low low price of $180, approximately $20 less than Sam Adams' suggested $199/bottle. I don't know if a more expensive beer exists.

Don't know who would pay for it but Hair of the Dog's Dave sells for $2000 if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Face Eater]

Around 200 for a utopias (2012 I believe), 45 for a bourbon county rare, and 30 for baller stout. Those were the highest, a bunch under 30 though.

 

[Dominic1920]

$110 for six pack of Sapporo's space beer, from barley grown on the international space station. It was'nt worth it.

 

[squatch]

$22 for a 12 oz 2009 Dogfish Head World Wide Stout in 2011.

I know this isn't beer, but back in October, I went on a business trip and made the mistake of going to the hotel bar. I offered to buy a round for everyone and we ordered 6 grey goose vodka tonics. The total was over $120. I had enough cash to pay though. Didn't want to put that one on the credit card so my wife would never know. What a ripoff. Lesson learned...

 

[gometz]

As far as I can remember it was the $25 (that includes tax) for each bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops.

Though I think I once had someone buy me some beer for $30 at the Flying Saucer because I just graduated (yea don't remember which beer).

In a single purchase: today, $88 for 7 bottles of Jester King and Prairie. (Honorable mentions to 3 bottles of Black Ops ($75; but two were for other people) and 9 sixers of Deschutes Hop Trip last winter ($80)).

 

[gometz]

$14 US for a pint of Guinness at the bar between arrivals and Passport control in the Dubai airport. 5 months without a beer also made it the best barley pop ever to pass my lips.

The one time I was in NYC (work trip to NJ, so it was only for the afternoon), I had a Sam Adams something for $15+tip at some swanky hotel bar. Terrible decision, but the guy who took us there spent $35 on a glass of scotch (which I know the bottle normally costs $45).

 

[Tclub]

$7.99 for a 12 pack of Rolling Rock.....just kidding...hahaha. $50.00 for a Growler of Chimay.

chillin on my throne

 

[Rambunctious]

$7.99 for 8oz Sam Adams Triple Bock. $13 for 20 oz Sam Adams Chocolate Stout. $14 for 4, 12 oz bottles of Dragons Milk.

 

[drainbamage]

$7.99 for 8oz Sam Adams Triple Bock. $13 for 20 oz Sam Adams Chocolate Stout. $14 for 4, 12 oz bottles of Dragons Milk.

Really? I think I spent $10 for a bomber of Dragon's Milk once. Methinks I got ripped off.

 

[Rambunctious]

Yes dragons milk is very good. Recommend drinking no more than one per evening though, kind of like martinis one is good two is too many.

 

[NervousDad]

I just bought two way overpriced beers. One Stone's Crime, which I was gauged for $25 ( I know it sucks) Rouge's XS imperial ale $15, it was in a cool bottle so I bought it (It's good, just not $15 good)

 

[ineedit]

In 1978 my friends and I would regularly pay $6.00 for 6 BMC. We lived in a dry county and never knew what we would get. Just handed over the money and got whatever the local bootlegger had.

Can't imagine paying over 20.00 for 6 hot buds today.

 

[yakoujin89]

£25 (41USD at current rate) on a 4 year whiskey cask aged stout from Brewdog. It was called Tokyo Rising sun.
