    Bottled, by ounce, has to be DFH 120 Minute IPA at 10.99. Otherwise, Hunahpu's Imperial Stout at 20 bucks.

    Man I love that dog in your av. I see him as being a great family pet, I almost feel like he (she?) is a member of my family! Awesome looking pup.

    By ounce: 12 oz. bottle of DFH 120 Min IPA - $20 at a bar. So stupid for that, but it was the first time and I really wanted to try it.
    By purchase price: Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic growler fill a few weeks ago - $23

    A twelve-year old refrigerator-held bottle of Chimay Blue. Paid $30 for it on my son's 21st birthday.

    Worth it. Chimay Blue ages well, and this particular bottle was spectacular.

    Bought a beer for a girl at a bar one night. She became my girlfriend. 12 years later we are no longer together. Easily the most expensive beer ever.

    I don't really understand why anyone would pay more than 10-15 bucks for a bottle of beer. I can buy a sixer of world class IPA at the store down the street for 10 a sixer. I love trying new things and new beers but the price just ends up deterring me most of the time.

    Probably Black Ops at $23, but I prepared to go up to $40-45 for Rare if I could have found some.

    Either Old Rasputin XIV or Duvel (today) - gift set.
    I think the XIV wins.
