Not the bomber bottles, these are the 330ml ones. It's more than I've ever paid in the US outside of a bar, but the more relevant issue was the Taobao price at the time of around 25 RMB. Now Taobao can even go as low as 18-20 RMB, and bars in the area are more likely to charge 32-35 RMB.
I can now enjoy more imported, quality beers in China for less than in the US, but they're still a bit expensive for my Chinese or foreign teacher friends.
