I ain't paying $150 for a bottle of beer unless it comes with $130 in change.

For $150 it better make her look like Olivia Wilde.

Nope, not me.

But, if someone were to but a bottle, I wouldn't be opposed to taking a snort or 2.

Each bottle is packaged with some spats and a monocle.

And how many people would balk at the prices that cigars like the 1492 or Behike command?

I have been lucky enough to have a few glasses (different years), as they make it every two years. There is no carbonation to it as its very much like a cognac and sipped...it is actually very smooth. I think a big piece is your paying for the copper kettle it comes in, which is kinda cool in itself.

I can agree with that, just trying to put this into perspective. There are plenty of wines and liquors in this price range, so why not a beer? It's for a totally different market than people buying a case of Bud at their local supermarket (analogous to the Black & Mild crowd).

If you have ever had a white ale think what it would taste like with a shot of cheap vodka in it. Pawned the other 3 off on some buddies! I won't take my chances for $150. I'll go by some Johnie blue instead.

The Imperial Series from Sam Adams is made up of Imperial White, Imperial Stout, and Imperial Double Bock. Where I am you can pick up a 4-pack for $9.99.

After I saw your description I ran to the fridge to pop open a bottle of Imperial White. It was very thick and syrupy. It had sort of a bourbon flabor to it. I'm not sure that I experienced the flavors as you described them, but I wasn't a huge fan of it either. I had some on draft once and it was AWESOME. It had almost a white wine-like flavor with some cereal notes mixed in. Also, last night I popped open an Imperial Stout. It was absolutely the best stout I've had in some time. It was smooth, creamy, and had wonderful chocolate and coffee flavors. When I first cracked open one of these I wasn't hugely impressed but I think they improve after sitting for a few months. Next I'll have to break open a Double Bock.

Good point. I know a lot of people who have paid $180 for a bottle of Utopias and several that have paid $250. If you look on e-bay they sell for over $300.

You get around that rule by stating in your add that you are selling the bottle not whats in the bottle.Its the same as people selling cigars by saying you are selling the bands not the cigars.

If you can establish that the item has collectible value then you can circumvent the rule. Take a look. There's usually a few bottles on there.
