Carlsberg Vintage No. 1
January 31, 2008
Scandinavia’s largest brewery has announced it will be selling the worlds most expensive beer. The Carlsberg Brewery in Denmark introduced Vintage No. 1 which will sell for 2,008 Danish kroner (almost $400) per bottle. The price is based on the year introduced (next years batch will cost 2009 Danish kroner), Carlsberg Brewery claims the beer is cheap considering how long it took them to develop the brew. The beer contains hints of prune, caramel, vanilla and oak tree from the French and Swedish wooden casks in which it is stored. They only produced 600 bottles of the 10.5 percent proof beer each only 0.8 pint. Currently the beer is only available at select Danish restaurants, and a limited quantity will be available for purchase on their website. [Bloomberg/via]
