The most expensive beer in the world: the name of beer and photos

Beer in all countries is considered the most democratic for the price of a drink with alcohol content. But there are also brands standing like elite cognac. In this article, we explore the question of which is the most expensive beer in the world. The top 10 titles will be listed below. But while we make a reservation: not every expensive beer is the best to taste. For example, in Muslim countries, all alcohol is worth its weight in gold.

Some states bypass the ban of the Koran, arguing that only the fruit of the vine is taboo. But in Iran, excises on the import of beer are cosmically great. Therefore, even the most mediocre drink there is very expensive. It should also be noted that some brewers produce limited product series - on memorable dates or special holidays. As an example, we can cite the Lithuanian "20 Barrels". Only twenty barrels were released, so the demand for this beer, as a rare brand of philatelists, is very high. Let's now see which foam drink is most valuable.

"Vielle Bon Secours" (Vielle Bon Secours) - the most expensive beer in the world

Top-10 tops this drink from the UK. The cost of one bottle - you will not believe - five hundred pounds, or a thousand dollars. True, the container for beer "Vell Bonds Seyuurs" is quite voluminous - twelve liters. And if you count on pints, then the cost of this drink is "only" seventy-eight dollars. This beer is made of light, dark or amber. But you can buy it only in one place - the London pub "Birdrom". How this beer is made and what endurance it takes is known only to the manufacturer. The secret of the recipe is guarded more carefully than the English queen. To pour beer on the glasses, you need a well-coordinated team of several people.

"Antarctic Nail Ale" (Antarctic Nail Ale)

If we study the question of what is the most expensive beer in the world, based not on the bottle, but on the price per liter, then the Australian producers will be the record holders. In 2011, they managed to sell at the auction in Fremantle a half-liter bottle of "Antarctic Nail El Bru" for eight hundred dollars. What is the reason for such a high price? The taste? Incredibly complex aroma? By no means. Just a plane company Neil Breving landed in Antarctica, workers cut down a block of ice, drove it to Australia, where they welded melt of beer. There were only thirty bottles. But this beer is considered not only the most expensive, but also environmentally friendly. In addition, according to the manufacturer, all profits from sales of elite beverages were transferred to the Fund for the Rescue of Antarctica Fauna.

"Pabst Blue Ribbon"

Beer experts will protest: in the United States of America, this brand of foam drink belongs to the democratic price segment (about a dollar per bottle). But it's in the US, but it's about China. Brewers of the Celestial Empire bought from American company Pabst a license for the release of "Pabst Blue Ribbon." At the same time, the Chinese changed the technology, leaving only one name for the drink. Raw materials for beer - caramelized malt, and the best, - they buy in Germany. The drink is aged in oak barrels, in which the whiskey used to ripen. Thanks to this, if not the most expensive beer in the world is born, it is most valued in China. Its price in comparison with the American analog increases 50 times. And outside the PRC premium beer "Blue Ribbon" can not be purchased.

"Carlsberg Vintage" (Carlsberg Vintage)

Surprisingly, this well-known drink was also the winner of the contest "The Most Expensive Beer in the World". Mark "Carlsberg" is known to many fans of foam drink. It can not be called cheap, but too expensive, too. But the Danish brewers turned a very successful marketing move: in 2008 they released "Carlsberg Vintage No. 1", the price for a bottle of which was exactly 2008 EEK (approximately three hundred and ninety five US dollars). The party in six hundred containers dispersed instantly. In the following year, the brewery Carlsberg released Vintage No. 2, which cost more to the crown. Accordingly, further saw the light numbers three, four and so on.

"Space Barley" (Space Barley)

The development of space in the most unexpected way affected the brewing. The fact is that Japan in 2006 sent to the orbital station barley. Of course, the purpose of the experiment was not to make a foamy drink. Scientists just wanted to see how the grass will feel in conditions of weightlessness. It turned out that barley had a good flight in the orbital station and gave a new harvest. When the space mission was completed six months later, Japan stated that it had produced the most expensive beer in the world. Do not waste the same grains of barley! And even though the cosmic beer "Space Barley" tastes no different from the usual one, its price has increased to one hundred and twelve US dollars.

"Samuel Adams Utopias" (Samuel Adams Utopias)

This is the most valuable product of the Boston company, although not the most expensive beer in the world. The title "Utopia of Samuel Adams" is dedicated to one of the founders of the United States of America. He believed that he was creating a great state, where every citizen would feel free and happy. Feel that the dreams of the founding father of the United States became a reality, it is possible only with the beer "Utopia of Samuel Adams". Because in the Guinness Book this drink came not because of the price, but because of its fortress.

Before being bottled, beer for about twelve years is aged in oak barrels from bourbon, sherry or cognac. The fortress increases to twenty-five degrees. The price of the drink, too, I must say, is not small - about a hundred dollars a bottle. By the way, it is made of copper and has the shape of a brewing vat. This is the most expensive foam drink in the US. The price is completely justified - the beer has an excellent aroma and taste with notes of dried fruits and a hint of smoke.

"Tutankhamun El" (Tutankhamun Ale)

As already mentioned above, pricing largely depends on the unusualness of the drink. Raw materials for Japanese beer were born in space. But the Scottish producers attracted to their side ... archaeologists. A group of scientists from Cambridge University deciphered the scroll found in the Temple of the Sun, built by the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti . The text was a recipe for beer. It is known that the ancient Egyptians appreciated this drink very much. Scientists have attracted the cooperation of specialists from Scotland. The most expensive beer in the world (at least in the antique) was cooked according to an old recipe in the laboratory of Cambridge. To feel yourself in Ancient Egypt, you need to lay out fifty-two US dollars for a bottle of "El Tutankhamun."

Schorschbräu Schorschbock 57

No doubt, this is the best expensive beer in the world. And the strongest. German brewers have proved that their product can become more attractive than schnapps and even vodka. His fortress is fifty-seven degrees. In addition to high alcohol content, beer can boast of truly excellent taste. The sommelier is described as an icebox. The beer resembles Scotch whiskey, made with the use of peat haze. The drink burns the mouth, in its taste you can hear notes of raisins and nuts. The aroma gives pleasure from the smell of haze. To taste such beer is necessary only in the men's company of friends under a cigar.

"End of History" by Brewdog

British manufacturers produced the most original most expensive beer in the world. The photo of the bottles shocked the defenders. After all, in the design of beer involved ... stuffed animals - squirrels, weasels, hares. The fortress of "End of Historia" is inferior to the German product by only two degrees. But this beer is cooked quite like whiskey. The raw material for the foamy drink is juniper berries collected in the mountains of Scotland, and nettles. In addition, the product undergoes repeated distillation and freezing. That's why beer is so expensive. The price is raised by the decoration. Each bottle is enclosed in a "frame" of a stuffed animal. As a result, the price is quite justified - seven hundred and sixty-five dollars for a 330-milliliter vessel. To calm the zooists, it should be said that only twelve bottles of this beer were made.
