I'm surprised it didn't get yanked being it's alcohol.

With no bids...

Kept in his wine cellar... perfect drinking condition... Even at 20% ABV, I'd be skeptical of that claim in a 9 year old beer.

Generally these are sold with it written that it's for the bottle and not for the contents inside of it.

Then again, who would want to drink a 9 year old beer?

eBay banned the sale of alcohol at its site in October and was not interested in hosting the auction for bottle No. 1. It has, however, allowed individuals to put Millennium in auctions. The bottles are considered "collectible" and limited edition products.

Concidering how many were made, it doesnt surprise me.

IIRC, these even came with special glasses to drink out of, and it was more akin to a weak brandy than beer.

They still sell limited bottles of their high octane stuff every year. Not that I'm interested in buying it, but it is around... and for much less.

50% positive feedback? And the only feedback he has from selling is negative. That would probably keep some people from bidding if anyone was interested.

Yes the Sam Adams Utopias sell for around $200 or so. Stuff tastes pretty unique to say the least.

Well I saw Sam Adams Triple Bock (maple syrup beer) in a store once for about $4/bottle and I thought that was an expensive Sammy. I had no idea...
