the most you ever paid for beer

[Arrheinous]

$20 for a bomber of 2014 La Folie. $13 for a bottle of Consecration.

But hey, discount that by the cost of buying a sour ale culture if you use the dregs... (Except for La Folie )

 

[podz]

It must have been 8.50 EUR for a Schneider Weisse Aventinus at a bar in Tampere, Finland. I am not a big spender when it comes to beer. If I see a bar where the cheapest beer is 9 EUR, then I'll be drinking water.

 

[kpr121]

$7.51 for an 11.5 OZ bottle of St. Remy Rochefort 10 Trappist Ale.

The very first Belgium Beer I have ever liked and the most expensive beer I have ever purchased. My SWMBO was not pleased, not pleased at all.

Really? Have you never been to a professional sporting event? I just paid 9 dollars for a 16 oz draft of bud at a Pirates game. And followed that up with a $11 24 oz yuengling in the 4th inning. I was pretty damn disappointed after that night (considering the wife drank just as much). Could have got a nice case of beer for the $40 we spent on crap.

 

[BigPerm]

$24 for The Bruery White Oak. I am pretty sure I overpaid.

Yeah, you overpaid. I'm pretty sure the one in my cellar cost $13. However, I paid $22 for this year's La Folie, and I've seen it at least $4 cheaper elsewhere, so don't beat yourself up.

That said, was it good? I haven't opened mine yet.

Word. Word....

I don't think I've drank it and it is hugely possible I gave it away.
Now since that date, I paid $40 for White Chocolate by the Bruery. The sour (infected) batch. The one of two I've had was a glorious sour.

 

[thatjonguy]

$216 (incl tax) for Utopias PLUS a 3 hours drive EACH WAY to pick it up.

Dropping $25+ on bottles doesn't usually happen but if they are under $20, all bets are off. I think I have a problem when it comes to buying beer.

Currently trying to secure a keg of La Folie...should be epic if I can pull it off...and expensive.

I just bought my second (third, if you count the one that was happily consumed) Tart of Darkness this afternoon. $19. What can you do?

Not open my wallet or better yet, leave the house.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I've stopped buying anything from The Bruery becuase they're always more expensive than they're worth.

I'll be racking up the tab on pricy beer tomorrow. Zwanze Day n such.

25EU for Cantillon kriek, at the brewery.

Like a pitcher full?

I bought a $9 bomber of Oak Aged Yeti once. Paid $12 for a 4 pack of 90 minute. Pretty sure I dropped $5 on a single 12 oz. in a mixed six from Central Market, but I can't remember what beer that was, at all. I won't spend more than that, ever.

None of these compare to the time I paid $12 for a 16 oz. plastic bottle of Miller Lite at a concert.

 

[dstranger99]

I purchased a 6 pack of Blue Moon last week, and it was $11.00. I have no idea what I was thinking ??............

 

[Kee]

21,000 Colombian pesos for a single Delirium Tremens (about $10).

That's dirt cheap. It's $16 here.

 

[thatjonguy]

Dammit wrong thread.

 

[grathan]

Lost a football pool here this year. Cost $50 to ship a bomber to Texas. The guy never said if it arrived or not.

I'd never spend that on a beer for myself. Too cheap.

 

[Baja_Brewer]

I cant remember anything that stands out as the most expensive. Probably > $12 for 750mls of things. $50+ for cases of barleywines, etc. I try and forget those things- I like veer and you can't take it with you. (It being money and beer)

I recent history paid $50 for a growler or something in SC. The beer had a funny name and was excellent and ginger flavored. I wish for the life of me I could remember what it was. But it came in a $45 hydroflask growler, so it was a hell of a deal!

Edit: frothy beard zingiber.... Soooo good

I bought a case of Chimay grand reserve in 750ml bottles this past December $160ish(if you know Chimay you know what that it was worth it) and a $35 bottle of Guiness 1759 also.

 

[fastengine]

I paid 9 dollars for a Miller Light at a Nascar Race once. It was 94 degrees out and the stands were all aluminum. I would have given 20 bucks for it at the time...
For a real beer I paid 12.95 for a bottle of Chimay once.

 

[theCP015]

$25 for a 750ml of Love Child 3, then again for LC4. Bought a few of each, shared with friends.
Paid the same for a bomber of Firestone 18th anniversary, traded it to a friend for a Prairie Wine Noir and a 4 Hands Volume 1.

 

[SEndorf]

I don't get it..
What's so unusual about pouring beer outta a dead squirrel?
