Most you have paid for beer

I paid $25 in Paris for a Heineken. I don't remember what the amount in Euros was, but on my statement, it was $25+. I think I got ripped off by the waiter, but it was worth every penny.

I was there on vacation and hadn't been feeling well that day, so my girlfriend and I sat down at a cafe in the Mont Martre for a drink and a smoke. I felt like crap, but I saw Heineken on the menu and thought it would be good to have a familiar beer. I felt immediately better. I had energy and was able to function and converse.

Yes, I think I got ripped off, but it was worth it.

$7 a pint of Belhaven from Sonka's Irish Pub in Terre Haute. If you get a chance, check the place out, they have quite the selection of beer.

Wow! Wonder what happened?

Had to be from poor sales, seemed like a poor liquor store location to me, but I liked the staff and they had a great selection with some decent prices. The last few times I visited there, it was a ghost town.

I've tried Gumball Head (I didn't know it was Floyd's, so apparently I have had their beer after all). It was horrible. It tasted like grapefruit.

I think you'd like their scotch-style ale offering, Robert the Bruce. Great stuff, I really enjoy it. Great malty complexity without being overwhelming.

In Japan, I would sometimes pay about $10 for a Kerin. In the Philippines I have gotten San Miguel for as low as .10 a bottle. The funny thing is, I enjoyed the San Miguel and the Philippines the most.

mmmmm San Miguel......ever been to the Nipa hut?

San Miguel was great beer. That and Redhorse were about 6 or 7 pesos when I was there. Both were great for washing down some balut.

I loved the monkey on a stick, but only ate balut once. You can probably guess I had been drinking and it was a dare. The formaldehyde in Red Horse could do some crazy things to guy.

Sonka's Irish Pub in Terre Haute.

The dogfish head 90 minute IPA was probably among the most expensive per oz although I probably have spent more on some of the triple fermented belgians. Alpha King is another 3floyds favorite of mine.

All the best,

I paid $20 for a Belgian Beer from Shalos - can't remember the name.

I paid $8.75 for a bottle of Coors Light at a strip club in Vegas; 2 drink minimum as well. Didn't know it until I got the bill.

Thats some tasty stuff! The 21st Amendment in Westfield has it, and I picked it up one night because I like scotch ale and hadn't tried it before. Its no Skullsplitter, but its pretty darn good, and worth the price.

90 Minute IPA or one of the Trappist ales. I don't mind paying for those once in a while.

What I hate is paying out the nose for something crappy at a restaurant. It is a sad state of affairs when Bud Select is a "premium" beer at a restaurant.

I hear you there, I seldom drink anything when out for dinner, I hate paying stupid money for what most restaurants consider "craft" beers, so I'll just get an iced tea and enjoy the beer once I get home.
