$2,000 For A Beer?

How much would people pay for a great bottle of beer?

The answer may surprise you. With artisan beer on the rise in the U.S, consumers are more likely to consider spending big bucks on brews.

That's why a bottle of beer that costs $2,000 has actually done well! The 12.7 ounce bottle of beer sold out less than five hours after it became available. The Hair of the Dog Brewing in Portland, Oregon only made 12 bottles and yielded a decent day of business for owner Alan Sprints.

The beer is unique because it contains a whopping 29 percent alcohol by volume.
