Message DietPepsican P beers 1592 º places 63 º 15:05 Sun 11/22/2015 $50 beers that resell/trade for $500. We are currently in a great time for beer but it’s rough on your pocket if you’re trying to catch all the brews. Beer can be the new wine if it wants but I’m going to drink wine at that price point.
Message footbalm beers 1219 º places 76 º 15:07 Sun 11/22/2015 I just bought a 6’er of Expedition Stout for 16 dollars. 6 bottles of REALLY good beer for less than 3 dollars a bottle.
Message puzzl beers 3258 º places 138 º 15:30 Sun 11/22/2015 Except prices have pretty much stopped going up in the past two years. 750s hit $25 and then pretty much just stopped. There are some $30 bottles out there, but they are the exception. And from what I can tell, pretty much everything $25+ rots on shelves unless it is certifiably good.

Guy saying I’m just drinking Orval, whatever on this stuff 5. Guy saying "ISO!!!!" 6. girl saying..sigh, all of the women left the RB forums a long time ago. #3, beer is the new winer? I’m fine with this, but there are some good wines under 20 dollars. So the 50 to 60 dollars beer, you can stick it up your... If anyone actually read the article the writer even makes this claim about "beer being the new wine". Me? I am ISO Orval because all the women left the forums a long time ago.
Message slowrunner77 beers 19964 º places 499 º 17:36 Sun 11/22/2015 I did too! I’m fine with the occasional $20+ bottle, but as premium bombers have gone from under $10, to $20 & $30 or more, I’m buying less & less of those and more 4 & 6 packs. I’ll only worry if the super high priced stuff becomes truly "normal." $60 16.9 ounce bourbon county can kick my arse.

Message Travlr beers 33878 º places 4582 º 17:50 Sun 11/22/2015 Fortunately we have few good bottle shops in DC, so I’m happy to drink my beers four ounces at a time. Still pricey, I guess, especially per ounce. But I can try a lot of beers in one sitting without breaking the bank.
