What do you pay for your favorite regular craft beers? What about your special occasion beers?

I get Sticky Hands for $12/4 pk and picked up my new summer favorite 3-Way for $11/4 pk (both 16 oz cans). Eliot IPA is usually $9-10/4 pk.

Taprooms are usually in the $5 range, although that can vary from 10 to 20 oz pours. Less during happy hours.

For a special occasion, I'll pay $30 for an Ale Apothecary Sahalie.

If you'd have told me I would pay this much for beer 15 years ago, I'd have told you that you're nuts...

I agree.

I don't have a range unless my wife is with me. I spend regular 4-6 pack around $10-12 or $10 on a single 12oz of Maple Jesus or birthday bomb.

I can easily justify whatever I spend on beer at a grocery by knowing its a lot less than whatever my bar tab would be.

In general its $10-12 for the usual 6 pks and maybe that for special release 4 pks. Every now and then ill get a growler of something for $16-25sh

Since I'm all about aged porters and stouts, I pretty consistently pay about $10 or so a bomber.

Pay anywhere from $0.99 for cans of high life in the ice buckets to $30/bottle for specialty stuff.

Prices have gone up in the last few months I paid $7.50 for basic, local IPA at one bar 2 weeks ago.....$7.50 for SN Pale Ale too, $8 at another bar for a good local IPA. 6 packs of local IPAs at Whole Foods run $9.99 or so. The brew pubs run $6-7 for their basic beers.
We've had several craft beer pubs close in the last 6 months....Gingerman's Lakewood location (lasted about 2 years), World Beer Co. (been open since 2011), World of Beers by SMU(which was a shitty, sterile atmosphere) and another craft beer pub just closed but re-opened with a new owner. The main problem is rents for restaurant/ retail have exploded in Dallas the last 2-3 years, so unless you were doing a good biz, you have been run off. That is probably why the other places are having to charge more for their beers.

By the time you add shipping costs on trades, I am probably over 30 bucks a 4 pk. FML some weeks.
