Most I have paid was $10.00 for a 4-pak of Dog Fish Head Chicory Stout and $7.50 for a 22 oz of Alpine Brewery's Captain Stout at a liquor store. I can't imagine paying over $20 for a bottle then end up not liking it.
 
Most expensive bottle I've bought is a Pelican Brewing Mother of All Storms barrel-aged barleywine. I think it was $23 for the bomber. It's currently sitting in my cellar aging.
 
Most expensive I can remember appeared in a newsletter in my inbox last week. Maybe it's just long term memory loss. :drunk:
"Baladin Xyauyù Barrel (rum): BA n/a RB 99: $45.99/500mL"

Sounds about right. Italian craft beer is insanely expensive.
 
I bought a bottle of framboise 750 from fitgers, a local brew pub, and they didn't have a price marked on it. I didn;t think it would be over 20 but when I went to pay it was 25 bucks. I was a little shocked. I bought it and shared it with my family so it was fun. The bottle is numbered out of about 250 and hand printed on there. it's certainly a cool bottle to have.

The most expensive for me would be the Chimays which really aren't all that expensive and worth every penny in my book.

Just got some Moose Drool in the mail this morning. I had it imported from out west.

The beer was $7.68 for a six pack, (cans), and the postage was $14.20, standard post. Counting a bump for their troubles I sent a M.O. for $40. About $6.67 a can

I buy a $10.00 bottle of Dragons Milk on a regular basis. I cant help it, except for homebrew it is the best beer i've ever had.
 
Dog Fish head word wide stout . $12 for a 12oz bottle @ 18% alc. it was good but I much rather pick up some Founders KBS @ $8 a bottle.

That beer tasted like rum raisin syrup to me.. Something I would like to split 4 ways. None of the DFH beers are worth what they cost in my opinion, whether good or not.
 
My wonderful wife - whom I love dearly - bought and transported home from Calgary (in checked luggage), a six pack of Westie 12 with two chalices. It was $104 CND.

Perhaps over priced, but not redonkously so as far as I can tell and she doesn't know the economy of scale of the beer nerd world. She bought it on a whim. What a gal!

The most expensive I have had was Dogfish Head 120 minute Ipa. 20 bucks for a 12oz bottle. It was totally worth it.
 
Bourbon County Rare. It was $55 the first time I had it, something like $200 off eBay, the second.
 
Last weekend, In the Pub, we just auctioned off a bottle of Brooklyn local 1 for €95 (for charity) I know that's over the top but still €95 ($123) for a bottle worth about $25 is not bad
 
A couple of years ago I bought some BrewDog beer that was aged in a Whiskey barrel for $17 a bottle. Interesting, but I won't be buying it again. Their Punk IPA is still one of my favorites though.

Wow, it's about 7$ here.
