Chances are you’re on your way to a New Year’s party this weekend. Instead of bringing a boring old bottle of Cristal, pour out a few of these and you’ll be the belle of the ball—or at least slightly more desirable after midnight.

What is it: The most expensive and strongest beer in the world.
Tasting note: Instead of a regular beer, this tastes more like a cognac or brandy. At 27% alcohol by volume, this isn’t something you chug with your pals. You sip it with your dad.
Say this to sound smart: “The hints of toffee, raisins and plums are reminiscent of a fine port or brandy.”
Say this to sound stupid: “Beer beer beer!”
Price: $120
