Beer in all countries is considered the most affordable drink with alcohol content. But there are brands that stand like an elite cognac. In this article, we explore the question of what is the most expensive beer in the world. Top 10 titles will be given below. But for now, 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 circumvent the Koran’s ban by claiming that only the vine is taboo. But in Iran, the excise taxes on beer imports are cosmic. Therefore, even the most mediocre drink there is very expensive. It should also be noted that some brewers produce limited series of products - for memorable dates or special holidays. An example is the Lithuanian “20 Barrels”. Only twenty barrels were released, so the demand for this beer, as a rare brand among philatelists, is very high. Let’s now trace what foamy drink is valued above all else.

This beer is made light, dark or amber. But you can buy it only in one place - the London pub Birdrom. How this beer is made and what kind of aging it goes through is known only to the producer.

Antarctic Nail Ale

Incredibly complex aroma? Not at all. It’s just that Neil Breving’s plane landed in Antarctica, workers cut a block of ice, took it to Australia, where they brewed beer from melt water. Only thirty bottles came out. But this beer is considered not only the most expensive, but also environmentally friendly.

Pabst Blue Ribbon

Beer connoisseurs will protest: in the United States of America, this brand of foamy drink belongs to the affordable price segment (about a dollar per bottle). But this is in the USA, and we are talking about China. Brewers of the Middle Kingdom bought a license from the American company Pabst for the release of Pabst Blue Ribbon. At the same time, the Chinese changed the technology, leaving the drink only one name. Raw materials for beer - caramelized malt, and the best - they buy in Germany.

A batch of six hundred tanks sold out instantly. The following year, the Carlsberg Brewery released Vintage No. 2, which cost a crown more. Accordingly, further saw the light of numbers three, four and so on.

Space Barley

Space exploration most unexpectedly affected brewing. The fact is that Japan in 2006 sent barley to the orbital station. Of course, the purpose of the experiment was not to make a foamy drink. Scientists just wanted to track how the cereal would feel under zero gravity. It turned out that barley had a good flight in the orbital station and gave a new crop. When the space mission was completed six months later, Japan announced that it had made the most expensive beer in the world. Grains of barley do not disappear! And although the Space Barley space beer tastes the same as usual, its price has risen to one hundred and twelve US dollars.

The End of Story by Brewdog

British manufacturers made the most original, most expensive beer in the world. Photo of bottles shocking animal welfare. Indeed, they participate in beer design ... stuffed animals - squirrels, weasels, hares. The strength of the End of History is inferior to the German product by only two degrees. But this beer is brewed just like whiskey. Juniper berries collected in the mountains of Scotland and nettles serve as raw materials for the foamy drink. In addition, the product undergoes repeated distillation and freezing. Therefore, beer comes out so expensive. The price is raised and the design. Each bottle is enclosed in a "frame" of a stuffed animal. As a result, the price is justified - seven hundred and sixty-five dollars for a 330-milliliter vessel. To calm the zoo defenders, it should be said that only twelve bottles of this beer were made.
