What is the most expensive beer you've had?

**Anthony** · July 26th, 2006, 10:49 PM

And how much was it? Was it worth the cost?

**tx99z28** · July 26th, 2006, 10:50 PM

La Fin Du Monde $6.99 for a 750mL bottle
also Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale $10.49 for a 6-pack

LFDM was worth it, I didn't like the SN Bigfoot too much.

**deafcon** · July 26th, 2006, 10:51 PM

La Fin Du Monde, I dont remember how much it was though. I also had to buy a brandy snifter, so that added to the expense. Definatly not worth it, the taste was far too complex for me.

**Nick** · July 26th, 2006, 10:54 PM

La Fin du Monde at Fox and the Hound. I have no idea how much it cost though.

**Toolish** · July 26th, 2006, 10:58 PM

Flying Saucer Winter Solstice. Think it was about 12 dollars and split 2 between a few people.

It was pretty damn good, but not really worth the price.

Would have bought a 20 dollar Unibroue Edition 2005 when i Washington but the bar was out of em.

**Anthony** · July 26th, 2006, 11:00 PM

Anyone have any idea what the most expensive beer is? I seem to remember that Sam Adams made a special beer that was close to $200 a bottle. Anyone know anything about this?

Holy s***!! You can get a bottle of Gran Patron Platinum or Johnnie Walker Blue Label for a little less than that here.

I'm probably way off, but I remember that it was really expensive. It may have retailed for ~$100, but it was selling on eBay for ~$200.

**mirroredfire** · July 26th, 2006, 11:36 PM

I don't like beer all that much so the most priciest ive bought was flying dog pale ale.. it tasted like old grandma perfume so thats the last time

**Swoll** · July 27th, 2006, 12:20 AM

Sam Adams Utopia was around 150 I believe retail, but I've seen it go for 300+ on ebay.

That's the beer I was thinking of. What made it so "special", though?

**Swoll** · July 27th, 2006, 12:40 AM

Well, for starters it was 24% abv. It was also aged in a few different types of barrels and came in a nifty bottle.

**Trendkiller Z28** · July 27th, 2006, 09:27 AM

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA - $7.50 for a 12oz. bottle. Yes it was worth it.

The most expensive beer I have had was the one I was drinking when I asked my wife to marry me

**Joey** · July 27th, 2006, 03:52 PM

Well I paid $10.00 for a 12 oz bottle of Worldwide Stout by Dogfish Head, then I found it later for $7.99

It wasn't worth $10 but it was worth the 7.99

Or you could say the bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock, that was $15.99, but came in something like a 25 oz bottle, and being as it was the tastiest beer I have ever had, I would say it was worth it.

My Mother in-law just called and told me that she found a beer store in Maryland with all kinds of Dogfish Head, including Worlwide Stout and Pangea

Now I just need a plane ticket

I do believe you would get on a plane just to try new beer

Not sure if you tried the Chocolate Bock I mentioned above, but if you see it, it's damn worth a try. It's too bad she can't send them to through the mail. I was planning on sending you those beers that one time, but the UPS guys are creeps, they check s*** thoroughly around here.

It's cool. I only cursed you for a couple days

Really it's kind of a pain in the ass to do anyway. I haven't seen that Chocolate Bock anywhere yet. I do know about it and have heard nothing but good things. When I see it though, I will definitely be buying it

**Swoll** · July 28th, 2006, 12:32 AM

if you are in Dallas, check the Goody Goody on Greenville past Park Lane. Best beer selection I've seen yet around here and it's still at grocery store prices.

**daveisadork** · July 28th, 2006, 01:31 AM

The Flying Saucer sells something that's around $28 a bottle, though I've never been drunk enough to actually order it. Most expensive I've had was probably some oatmeal stout I can't even remember the name of.

i really wanna try both of those

**alan_g** · August 17th, 2006, 12:44 AM

Grand Teton Imperial Stout 2005 740ml for about $20. Very good stuff

**Merp** · August 17th, 2006, 06:38 PM

La Fin Du Monde

Yeah the Chocolate Bock is a REALLY limited edition. The guy at the liquor store told me they only produce it every few years ( and then in limited quantities), not sure how accurate that is, but he does the ordering so I assume he knows what he's talking about. Tastes like a nice dark beer with an aftertaste that resembles a Rocher chocolate, DO NOT pass it up if you come across it.

And they also only brew a very minimal amount each year.

There is a DFH restaurant & bar in Gaithersburg, MD. Been there since 04'

**SpeedsterZ28** · December 4th, 2006, 03:04 PM

Ommegang Three Philosophers

It was like $11 or $12 for one. High Gravity, too...like 9.8% alcohol.

**rumdaddy** · January 8th, 2007, 03:25 PM

New Belgium La Folie
$100 for 750ml

Same here.

**Snuffalofogus** · January 8th, 2007, 05:46 PM

Westvleteren Abt 12 will be, once I order it (~$20) a bottle.

Most expensive so far is a belgian ale (name escapes me) that was only $10 a bottle. Sadly it tasted like skunk piss.

**91mini** · January 8th, 2007, 05:47 PM

I've had a couple of beer that were 12-15 dollars for a 12 oz bottle but I guess they weren't good enough to remember though.

you could have got a cheap hooker instead

**Lionel Hutz** · January 8th, 2007, 06:37 PM

Almost all Unibroue 6 packs are about $13 here so it would be that. :O

**crxyem** · January 8th, 2007, 07:45 PM

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA - $8.00 for a 12oz. bottle. I agree it was worth it.

Sam Adams Triple Boch, not technically a beer, can't remember the price exactly but $4.90 8.5oz

I think the place I go here locally is kind of expensive but it's the closest and it's locally owned so I guess I'm doing my part. I go to World Market sometimes but there beer is limited. They have most of the good stuff but never have anything new and exotic to try.

**Victory** · January 9th, 2007, 11:32 AM

sam adams utopia

it was like 130 bucks for I think a 750ml bottle.

it was pretty good, something like 24% alchohol. But I dont think Id buy it again, I was pretty drunk when I was convinced to buy it the first time

I was wondering if anyone had tried that, I made a thread about it a few weeks ago.

it tasted kind of like a watered down bourbon.

it was good, I wouldnt buy it again though.

**Perfectibilist** · January 10th, 2007, 12:02 PM

Dogfish Head 120 Min. IPA ~$10 - 12oz.

Yes, it was worth it to try it. Would buy again, but not very often.

**VIDEODROME** · September 15th, 2007, 12:00 AM

Chimay

Some kind of Belgian monk beer. I liked it.

**Pillamyd** · September 15th, 2007, 07:03 AM

Arrogant Bastard Ale ~ around $7 for 750ml.

**Jackal** · September 15th, 2007, 01:50 PM

Apparently it was $25 pitcher night last week at the bar, 2 pitchers of blue moon and an appetizer and I had a $60 tab.
