Standing up for the Aussie Bottler
$35 for a westy 12 (which I know was fresh and refrigerated during transport) is the highest but not ridiculous. I paid willingly and enjoyed the beer and being able to experience it.
Ridiculous is any pint of nothing special over $10.

On another note.... Hahn Millennium Ale.
Can't remember how much it cost (a LOT), but I bought a dozen 750ml bottles with the intention of splitting the case with a mate.
We opened one to find out where it was currently "at" before cellaring the rest under his house & he immediately pulled-out of the deal there & then. I agreed with his/our assessment. I was left with 11 bottles of crap with no potential for improvement.
Tried them again about 6 months apart for a year, but it was still crap & ended-up turfing the rest down the sink.
That's expensive!

So arrived in Adelaide and got a pint of India Red Ale from Prancing Pony Brewery for $7. That's better. Except pints in St seem to be schooner size in NSW.

$100 on a 700ml Scottish heavy ale who's name escapes me right now.
It was good, but not that good and based on the place I bought it, I suspect it was heavily marked up.

I have a collection of Thomas Hardy's Ale, most early 2000s. Sublime beers. Paid $25+/330ml and worth so much more to me in the enjoyment I get in drinking them. An aged barleywine is amazing.

Did a couple of pub crawls through Adelaide a couple years back does not seem to be a standard pint changed from place to place.mattyh77 said:
Almost anything in Singapore is probably my most expensive, but in saying that can buy some very nice european beers for same price as Fosters or VB.

I paid $11.40 for a schooner of pirate life barrel aged saison a few days ago.
Lucky it tasted good otherwise I would've stole the glass.
I wouldn't be spending much more than that on a beer.

I've drunk all my homebrew and I'm still worried.
$5.30 for a schooner of Carlton Draught, or any other megaswill. It hurst me every time.
The title does day "ridiculous", not the most expensive.
