>> Not everyone is willing to pay a triple-digit price tag for a single bottle of beer.

Damn straight! Beer with *that* much alcohol in it tastes like crap anyway.

I’d put that $130 on a few six-packs of some really good IPAs and porters, and have a hundred times the drinking pleasure.

Just my 2c, and it *is* a matter of taste, but I bet I’m not the only one...

I have 5 cans of Billy Beer if anyone is interested... I drank 1/2 of one of them, and pored the remainder down the sink.

Is $130 the normal price for this beer or are they selling it at Fenway?

I worked for a plastic recycler. One of our clients was Stroh’s Brewery. They kept the “over the limit” beer in the break room. A pony bottle would mess you up.

27% alcohol? How is that possible? Most beer is 6% and the fermenting yeast eventually create an environment (the ethyl alcohol) that is detrimental to their existence.

They must have grown some hearty genetically-modified yeasts to survive 27% alcohol. So what happens when you distill the 27% brew? (like wine at 12% is distilled into brandy).

My father had some Billy Beer stashed away. I don’t know what ever became of it.

I started brewing in Jan. After a dozen or so, mostly ales, three Pilsners, a porter and a stout, I have to say the porter and stout need age. At first they were barely drinkable but the complexity of mellow flavor has improved in just a couple of months. I just had a 22 oz. stout and now it is getting a nutty flavor as well as the caramel flavor it has developed over the last couple of weeks. I am gonna start working on some one gal. White oak barrels to age some things. From what I read one can accomplish in three weeks with a one gal. Barrel what takes three years with a lager barrel. Home brewing is the best skill I have ever acquired (and in 6 decades I have acquired quite a few!)

I was once given a pour of Utopia. It taste more like a strong bourbon mixed drink.
