World's most expensive beer

Help Support Homebrew Talk - Beer, Wine, Mead, & Cider Brewing Discussion Forum:
So we should start a list:
What is the most expensive beer you have bought ($/oz, not bottle)?
For me, I believe it was Sam Adams Triple Bock. Almost made my vomit and a buddy almost threw it in my face because he thought I was play a practical joke on him.

WOW! I'd only heard of Utopias. Sadly, I'll likely never be able to bring myself to spend that much money on a beer.

I have had the Triple Bock from multiple years. It's a tough one to get the taste of if you're not expecting it.
I also have a 2005 bottle of Utopias.

That Tutankhamen Brew sounds interesting, actually, just because I'd like to see what beer tasted like back then. $52 a bottle really isn't bad (though tell that to SWMBO, I bet), though I'd be worried about whether or not it's good after having been stored in clear bottles. Of course, were hops necessarily used?
I heard from SWMBO (who is an archaeologist) that a bunch of archaeologists found a kind of pit that they couldn't figure out--until they made beer in it. It was a really old brewery and the beer supposedly tasted awesome.

I got a bottle of Thomas Hardy Ale a couple of months ago. Only $10.00 for a 250 ml bottle so not in the range of the ones here. I really didn't like it.
I realize it was complex and interesting. It reminded me of reading Prost. I recognize the craft and why people think it brilliant but I didn't find it an enjoyable experience.
Just as well for me. If my tastes start to run that high I'd soon be broke.

ps What type of beer is Utopia anyway?

Flights - $5000. (wife and kid also)
Taxi from Airport - nil (Parents picked us up)
Train to Edinburgh - $20
Taxi to old local pub $10
Pint of Callie /80 $4
Total cost : $5034
And worth every god dam sip. (and the 2,3,4,5th after were just as nice!)

You know, when I was in Edinburgh I asked what a good beer would be and they gave me Tennent's. It was good, don't get me wrong (especially when I later stayed a few blocks away from the brewery in Glasgow), but I wouldn't describe it as "worth every god damn sip." Oh well, just going to have to go back I suppose...

Well, most expensive beer I've ever bought was Heineken (I use it for cooking), so I guess I'm not quite in the same range as the rest of you...
But that Utopia bottle is just drop dead gorgeous...:cross:

Actually, I did...
Now I remember I had done a search a couple of hours ago, and I left with the thread on my screen. When I came back and replied, I didn't even realized how old the thread was...
Yeah this is an oldy thread. Funny how the original link still works. Before realizing how zombie thread this is I was gonna respond to Sigafoos' post, "That Tutankhamen Brew sounds interesting, actually, just because I'd like to see what beer tasted like back then"
and say... how would you feel if that ancient Eyptian beer recreation tasted exactly like Corona? LOL.

despite being an old thread - ola dubh 30 special reserve
i think it was 18 bucks for a 12 oz bottle, so 1.50 an ounce, and worth it.

Well...I had Dogfish Head's "Midas Touch", which is based on an ancient recipe.
It was terrible.

The most expensive beer I've ever bought was probably a bucket of bud light at a concert. $45 for a bucket of 5 (16-oz aluminum bottles)! Woot!!! Woot!!!

I've never had The End of History, but I had a bottle of Sink The Bismarck (44% ABV) from Brewdog a few weeks back. $130.00 a bottle and its smaller than a 750mL.
Tasted like a nice scotch. Burnt all the way down. It was fun to try but in no way was it a good beer in my opinion.
You can read my full review of it at www.beergeekheaven.com
