Rogue is one of the more expensive micros in Montana as well...although it isn't as bad as $15 a sixer for Dead Guy....it is around $10. 

I have seen their 22 oz. bottles for around $15, though....some of their bigger offerings.  Too pricey for me.

I really don't buy much bottled micros, though....thats what homebrew is for!  My intake of micros is usually limited to a couple of pints at the tavern.

I'm a cheapskate, so I generally buy these beers once...if I really like them, $15 bucks will almost buy enough raw materials to do a whole batch of a clone for most beers!  There are a few beers, and a few styles, that I still buy commercially from time to time.  But 15 bucks for a sixer, I don't pay that much for my yearly purchase of Bigfoot!  Speaking of...is that out?  I better not have missed it this year!
I still got a couple bottles of 2009 bigfoot. 8)

Even with the AHA discount, the Rogue Distillery and public house is the most expensive brewery-owned pub in Portland (next to the Rogue-owned Green Dragon, that is).

Maybe the yeast is special or its a family strain or it came from the dead?   :D
