Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 18:08 Sat 6/30/2012 DISCLAIMER: this is not an offer to buy or sell any beer. I do not have a Crianza Helena, nor am I looking to get one. I do not advocate any cash transactions on ratebeer. Now that that’s out of the way, what would you value a 75cl bottle of Cantillon Crianza Helena at? I haven’t seen any recently on eBay... If you had the opportunity to get one for $200, would you do it?

Message Brigadier P beers 4930 º places 334 º 18:32 Sat 6/30/2012 I’d rather have a case of Belgian Red or several of Expedition Stout. $200 for a single beer is a bit like dropping $700+ for a scotch or wine. It might be good but it isn’t going to be 10x better than anything else.

Message GodOfThunder P beers 1364 º places 65 º 18:43 Sat 6/30/2012 No. There are still plenty of bottles of it at DHVL. Save the $200, add to it, and fly to Belgium and drink 8 of them while eating an awesome dinner.
Message McGrupp612 beers 154 º places 1 º 18:52 Sat 6/30/2012 If two hundred bucks is like pocket change to you, then go for it. If not, drink off the shelf lambic and have a great time.
Message BigTomZ beers 12 º 18:58 Sat 6/30/2012 I could spend that $200 on a hooker and probably have a better time than drinking that 1 beer.

Message j12601 P beers 14608 º places 583 º 19:01 Sat 6/30/2012 It’s not 10x better than a $20 bottle of gueuze. I’d probably pay up to about 50 for one so I could have it again, but definitely not 200.
Message Beerlando beers 3343 º places 70 º 19:03 Sat 6/30/2012 Is ANY beer worth $200? You can travel to Prague and drink pint after pint of fresh, amazing pils for 1,90€. I saw the thread earlier that mentioned a single bottle of Don Quixote going for $1,200. As an owner of 2 bottles, I’m very tempted to sell them and go on a nice vacation to Bamburg, or Montreal, or California, or any one of the hundreds of other amazing beer destinations out there.
