How many beers that you know of are actually worth $100? Some would say NONE. Others might point out some white whales, but even those are a matter of perspective.
Pliny? $100?
A friend of mine, non-beer geek, just picked up a few bottles of Pliny for me as a gift on his way back from Sanona. I didn't even ask for them! $100...
Serious... Beers that in our crazy ass distribution system here in the US should never garner 10+ times their value... homie! My Jimmies are so rustled...

The guy probably just forgot his decimal place between the zeros lulz.

There are quite a handful of beers I would pay $100+ for but certainly not an easily-attainable IPA...

Or any IPA for that matter unless it came as a keg.
 
Never released for sale and basically any bottle in the wild is either in the possession of a Deschutes employee/rep/etc or was a gift from one. To attempt to resell it at some absurd price is pretty lame.

That's not the case for all of the reserves though right?

No it's specific to BBXXII. They apparently used too much cocoa butter in it and it separated, creating an undesirable amount of sediment in the bottles. This didn't pass Deschutes' quality control so they didn't release it, and apparently dumped a lot of it out. But they saved some bottles and kegs for special events. I had it at the 2012 US Olympic trials in Eugene, and was allowed to keep one of the empty bottles. It's a shame that it got messed up because on taste it's easily the best beer in the series of the ones I've had.
