Is this the most expensive beer in the world? At $367 a bottle, it ain't cheap. Carlsberg'd Vintage No. 2 is limited to 600 bottles, and is aged for 100 days in French oak casks.

Which is nice and all, but again, I ask... Is this most expensive? Here's another option:

The other night, I was at Draft Barn in Park Slope, which has a few bottles of Sam Adams Utopias. Utopias is beer aged for about two years, until it reaches 27% alcohol by volume. Sam Adams releases a different, limited vintage every year, and they always quickly sell out.

As for price, Draft Barn was selling shots for $20 each, or the whole bottle for $400. And it looks like we have a new winner, except... Sam Adams usually sells the bottles for $100. So while the bottle that Draft Barn has is the most expensive, the beer itself isn't the most expensive.

Anyway, without belabouring this any further, I'd guess that out there, there's an even more expensive bottle of beer. $400 just seems like too low of a ceiling, doesn't it?
