If you are what the Subject said, you should already know (from pictures) what it is. In case someone isn't a "connoisseur" but is interested in a finer beer, this is the one. Its called a Sour. This one has a sour-cherry taste.
The beer itself is aged in used wine barrels for over a year, to capture the taste of the wine. This company (Russian River Brewing Co) is based out of a small town in California, and all of their products are hard to find. I have been aging this one myself for about 8 months. Now it is at great drinking time. Notice it is batch 3, bottle 10. I thought that was really cool. I think they MIGHT be making batch five, but batch 4 is gone.
Anyways, treat yourself or someone who likes beer (everyone). This would literally be a great X-Mas gift: its not too expensive, its truly "nice", and it shows a personal touch.
I am asking 2.8 BTC for this bottle. To give you an idea, it was $15 when I bought it, and aged ones go for multiple hundreds of dollars (check).
Hope to hear from some of you soon.

Problem is shipping Beer. Post office does not allow it. It is illegal for a non-licensed individual to ship alcohol.

How have you been aging it? Letting it sit at room temperature on your shelf? or actually aging it in a cool, dark place at the right temperature?

In the cabinet right next to the freezer (nothing else in there) on a rack I built, angled down so the cork stays moist.

Awesome. If you really do want to try it and you end up liking it there's another one the company makes, "Consecration". Its good but I prefer this one ("Supplication"). I don't have any of the Consecrations aged, but the company ages them before they sell them anyway, so you can drink it when you buy it.
Oh, and @ the person who said you can't ship alcohol: You can through FedEx. You have to declare it, show you are 21, and the person its going to has to prove they're 21.

I got one more to offer you guys. Its made by a friend of mine every year, around January/February. Its called "Orange Monster". Its definitely the most unique beer I've ever tasted. Its almost like a liquoer-but it still maintains that hoppy taste. And yes, the label is correct. It is 19.3% alcohol. My favorite way to enjoy this one is with some cookies and cream ice cream-dump it right on there and make a float. It sounds weird at first, but think about it-it sounds awesome. Beer on ice cream. This is from last year's batch. I doubt anyone will be interested, but just in case theres some enthusiast out there who wants to give it a try I'll offer it at 2.6 BTC shipped (its a 22oz). Something to see anyway!

You can buy it online for $11, so why $36 tag?

The company is on batch 5 now. Batch 3 was highly praised, thats why I bought a bunch of bottles. Also, aging these properly adds a lot of value to them. A bottle of Supplication aged 1 year goes for about $50 at beer auctions.

It is a violation of postal regulations to send alcohol through the mail, but there's nothing in the law that prohibits sending it through a private carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc.). I'm a homebrewer; I've sent my beer out for judging on multiple occasions and have had no issues FedExing it wherever it needed to go. The largest homebrew competition in the country, the AHA National Homebrew Competition, gets thousands of entries every year and has been going for a couple or three decades; if there were legal issues with transporting alcohol, they were hashed out long ago.

Bitcoin and beer... two of my three favorite things in the world.

Orange monster has my interest, but I'm not sure I trust FedEx with my beer! Certainly not UPS. They tend to treat packages like bundles of hay.

I don't consider myself a connoisseur, but a bottle? In a bottle? Beer in a bottle? Bottled beer?
