The World’s Most Expensive Beer
March 24th, 2009 by BallerHouse
Dannish beer maker Carlsberg has unveiled the second beer in its uber-expensive Vintage trilogy series: Vintage No. 2, selling for $367 per bottle.
As the Moodie Report describes the luxury beer, “Vintage No. 2 was matured in J.C. Jacobsen’s original crypt-like cellar from 1847 where it has been stored in French oak casks for 100 days. The beer has a jet-black color and espresso-like foam, revealing flavors of vanilla and cocoa/mocha. The aroma contains hints of tar and ropes, which come from the peatsmoked Scottish malt, transported from Scotland solely for this brew.” Each bottle ishand-stenciled with a lithographic print. Recommended pairings include oysters, shellfish, Parma ham, cheese, chocolate and crème brûlée.
Vintage No. 2 will be sold online and from the Carlsberg Visitors and at five upscale Copenhagen restaurants: Noma, NIMB, Premisse, Kong Hans and The Paul. Six hundred bottles of the world’s most expensive beer will be produced.
