Tricky Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 If you have a lot of cash and would like to spend it on quality beer then you need go no further than the Carlsberg Vintage No. 2. Carlsberg will only sell 600 bottles of their Vintage No. 2 brew which they claim "pushes the boundaries of what a beer can do" It has been stored in French oak casks for 100 days and has a dark black colour and espresso-like foam. It has hints of of vanilla and cocoa/mocha flavours and would be a perfect pairing for oysters, shellfish and Parma ham. A bottle of this stuff will only set you back 2009 Danish Kroner (Australian Dollars $458.21) Each Vintage bottle is labelled with a hand stencilled lithographic print made by the artist Marco Evaristti, who is mostly known for his controversial exhibition of gold fish in a blender in Denmark. It is a great beer to cellar and has a use by date of 2059, which is also the year that Carlsberg Elephant beer celebrates its 100th anniversary. At that time, the Vintage no. 2 will have increased it's sweetness and reduced its bitterness and smokiness. http://www.luxury-insider.com/Current_Affairs/post/2009/03/Carlsberg-Vintage-No-2-Probably-The-Most-Expensive-Beer-In-The-World.aspx It's good to see brewers doing things like this, as it does wonders in improving the image of beer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Still wondering how to spend Kevin\u2019s stimulus payment? Not sure if the glass you are drinking your beer from is bringing out the best in the expensive beer you are drinking? Maybe you should buy yourself a AU$ 70,000 dollar solid gold beer mug. Japanese gold manufacturer Ginza Tanaka released a beer mug just for you, made of 850 grams of gold. This golden beer mug is the centrepiece of latest collection entitled "Summer Cool". It\u2019s made up of items that are commonly believed by Japanese to help alleviate the heat of the hot and muggy summer days. Ginza Tanaka says drinking in a goblet as expensive as a luxury car is the ultimate cool experience. According to someone who tried the mug "it was a new experience to drink from a golden mug and was really quite tasty." http://english.ntdtv.com/ntdtv_en/ns_li ... 15576.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
