  • supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -7/+96The most expensive beer in the world is the one you spill on your Macbook.
  • aldenhg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+57Brewer #1: Well, we spent 6 months making this test batch and it tastes horrible. What do we do?
    Brewer #2: Sell it in tiny quantities for way too much to people how have a lot of money and don't know better?
    Brewer #1: Brilliant!
  • Billiam627, on 10/10/2007, -4/+53I think the important thing to remember is that is that Keystone goes for about 30 cents a bottle...
  • piratearggghhh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+42Half the cost is in the packaging. Maybe after you drink the $1000 beer you can piss in the bottle and save it as a "this is the piss that came from $1000 beer"
  • mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29I love being punched in the face. Sounds like just the beer for me.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Keystone should have a negative price because whoever drinks that deserves the money.
  • blumph, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15needs more dog
  • illegalamigo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

  • SWiG, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15I have had Utopia at the GABF (which I highly recommend http://www.beertown.org/events/gabf/ ) and let me tell you that it is very syrupy and is probably closer to a nasty brandy. Definitely not recommended.
  • mastercheif, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12I wouldn't donate Milwaukee's Best to diggnation.
  • swrostmore, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA is like $15 for a half-pint. Which is a pity because it is 20% abv and delicious
  • seefresh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9They forgot this one.... http://cgi.ebay.com/Museum-Quality-ALLSOPPs-ARCTIC-ALE-1852-SEALED-FULL_W0QQitemZ260145824374QQihZ016QQcategoryZ1351QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  • EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Sorry, but I think that ***** tastes like ass.

    Watered down and carbonated to hell is what it is, both are bad for beer. I can't stand it.
  • Ventolin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Man, and I thought Duvel was pricey...
  • DaveMode, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6As someone who loves Japan and loves beer, I can honestly say this: Japanese beer sucks. They're mostly just variations of Budweiser. I'm sure there's a hard-to-find brand that's really good, but the rest are just boring.
  • aahamedi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I got the table, cups, and balls.....you bring the beers
  • Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that Bud (and Coors and all those other beers in the cheap section at Walmart) tastes more like club soda than beer.
  • FreakyPhil31, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6You should try the belgian inspired Unibroue(Maudite, Fin du Monde) beers. Heaven in a bottle at an affordable price.
  • DarkPhoen1x, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Eh, just give me a Dead Guy and I'll be happy. Rogue Ales ftw!
  • Tivor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5$1000, $100, and $52 per bottle?

    Honestly, I was expecting even more outrageous price, this being a list of 3 most expensive beers in the whole world.
  • idc5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5anyone down for a game of beer pong with these beers?
  • EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Then WTF are you doing here, in a thread named Worlds 3 Most Expensive Beers?

    ***** troll.
  • JQP123, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5$1000 a bottle? Sorry, it's simply not possible to make beer *that* good. I don't care if it's laced with ecstasy, it's still not worth that price.
  • JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Dugg for "The Bierdrome"

    Where the world's most expensive beers fight a beer-on-beer deathmatch for pricey beer supremacy.
  • DaveMode, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I occasionally purchase this beer for $9 per 12 oz bottle from a nearby liquor store. (Only for special occasions of course). It's probably my favorite beer of all time. The hop flavor practically punches you in the face :)
  • johnroth, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Now can we see an article about the BEST beers in the world?

    I vote me some New Glarus Spotted Cow!
  • maexus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I'm sorry but Bud Light has almost no flavor at all. What little flavor it does have is overwhelmed by a chemical after taste. Miller is worse. Tastes like corn flakes soaked in water out in the sun.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5hey there's always 90 minute, which is all but masterpiece
  • CTreps, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Samuel Jackson! IT'LL GET YA DRUNK!
  • desistere, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6The article is not accurate in saying that Utopia is the strongest beer. Hair of the Dog "Dave", a 29% abv barley wine, is a stronger beer. As several people have commented after tasting Utopia above, lots of alcohol doesn't make something tasty, but it is a great novelty to separate the foolish from their money. The beauty of craftbrewing is that the world's finest beers can be had for a fraction of the cost of expensive wines. If a six pack is more than $20, then it's probably not as tasty as it is expensive. Save that copper bottle for bragging or it's a total wash.
  • jerrro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I don't know about these, but 25% can never be good for a beer. And I've never heard of a good beer from Egypt. I'd go for a Rochefort 10 or Westmalle Dubbel anytime.
  • Alfdog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I love Kevin and Alex, but why anyone would donate beers or "money for beer" is beyond me. When I saw them drinking plain old Corona's, I said to myself, someone has to be sending something better than that, or at least have 12oz more originality to buy something better than Corona.

    /rant off
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4You'll be ***** fat chicks in no time!
  • eean, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I'd take Duvel over this stuff any day. These beers are all gimmicky.

    Kenvsryu: More like, Belgium FTW. The best beer and the best chocolate.
  • jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What the ***** are you talking about in my beer article? Get the ***** out of here *****.
  • Schizotypal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'm tentatively calling BS on the first beer. First, while the Bierdrome might charge that price, they aren't the only place you can get it, as I've personally seen 3 of those bottles in a grocery window in Brugge.
    And, if they are charging that price, only a fool would pay it.
    My bottle of stanky homebrew; I'm charging One Million Dollars a sip. There; now I have the most expensive beer in the world.
  • seefresh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Not too mention, if you make your own beer, you can make amazing/fine beers for as little as $0.15 a pint.
  • f4nt0m4s, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The alcohol percent on that Utopia is 25%. That's why you taste the brandy! That's higher than a lot of the double IPAs out there and heavy imperial stouts!

    i bet if you drank it a few times you could acquire a taste.
  • thescimitar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I shot a marketing campaign for Utopias and as a result got a bottle of it from Sam, gratis. They suggested drinking it from a brandy glass, served in an appropriate quantity. I've had a few glasses of it, and it's certainly not to be mistaken as a "beer" in the typical sense. Also, it has the strong flavor of maple (and not the Mrs. Butterworth kind) which can be very off putting to some people.

    Still, it's a very interesting brew!
  • emjaymj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Belgium FTW indeed. Although, there is much better stuff than Duvel kicking around :)

    Just picked up a case each of Rochefort 10 and Chimay Bleu actually...
  • alphabetagaga, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The real question is, will it ***** up my shoes after I pound back 10 bottles and I'm completely sloshed.

    What, like you don't have an alcohol problem.
  • carbbomb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I had the utopia before, and I knew to expect a more brandy like experience. Approach it with that in mind and its quite enjoyable. It is misnomer to call it a "beer."

  • mightyjlr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I bought the Utopia a few years back. I knew it wouldn't really taste so much like beer, but it was nastier than I expected.
  • zaofreek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I have a very hard time believing that, for the money, any of these are better than Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale. Samuel Adams usually disappoints, but I would like to at least try the other two...
  • DaveMode, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Ahh Guiness... the most overrated beer ever created. I'd take it over the usual bud, miller, etc crap any day, but it's still not that great.
  • zip000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I think that that was a joke.

    Smile!
  • idc5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I won't be finding any of these beers at my local Yard House..
  • Ampidire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I had Utopia's at my friends island house, his dad buys a ton of that stuff, it was really strong, amazing taste for a Beer though. pretty much the only one i've had... not much of a drinker...
  • matthewf01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2mmm...Red Tick Beer.
    Don't forget Tuborg...the beer of Danish kings.
    And who doesn't love a Düff?
  • rnelsonee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Although tastes obviously differ, I like to go here when I have too much money to burn:
    http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Ratings-Top50.asp

    If you like stouts or Belgiums, you'll find no shortage of comments and ratings on that site. They even have a store locater type thing.
