On the opposite end of the spectrum from the likes of PBR is Carlsberg's limited edition beer "Vintage No. 2" sold at €270 per bottle or at today's currency rate, a little over $388 a bottle.

In a similar vein, Sam Adams Utopias holds the Guinness Book of World Records for "world's strongest beer" with 25 percent alcohol by volume. The 2009 batch upped the ante with 27 percent alcohol by volume. A single bottle starts at $150 and higher at bars. Modern Materialist noted that Brooklyn South Slope's Draft Barn sells the Utopias at $20 a shot.
