10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

August 11, 2015 By Anne Burwell Leave a Comment

For all beer lovers out there, this article is for you. For the rest of you, make sure to pass this on to someone who would marry a beer and have her children. You’ll be as amazed as I was when I found out beer can be expensive. We usually guzzle down liters of beer because is cheap and it goes with everything. It goes with football, it goes with the boring weddings you have to attend on your own, it goes with sad cheesy movies and it even goes with DIYs around the house. But maybe that’s not advisable, if by the end you want to have equal, functional drawers in your kitchen cabinets. Drink responsibly and keep reading about the 10 most expensive beers in the world.

1.Brewdog the end of history

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

This is a Belgian ale that is among the strongest in the world. It contains juniper berries and Scottish nettles. It has been described to taste like leather, tobacco, soy sauce and beef, so it’s clear none of those people have ever been to a wine tasting. If you want one of the twelve existing bottles, get ready to pay $765. Bargain!

2. Brewdog Sink the Bismarck

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

If you’re looking at a long night out drinking with your buddies, you might want to skip this one. It has 41% alcohol by volumes, so it should be kept for special occasions. Named after the largest Nazi battleship, this drink has to be frozen and distilled four times before it can be drunk by Vikings and Ale Gods.

3. Schorschbrau Schorschbock 57

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

That’s a mouthful both in spelling and in tasting. Schorschbock 57 is made in Germany and has 57.5% alcohol by volume. Smoky and nutty in taste, this German beer was made in a limited edition of 36 bottles. Each one has 370 ml of sweet nectar and will set you back by 275$.

4. Samuel Adams Utopias

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

This ale has a beautiful rusty color and only 28% alcohol by volume. So you might have guessed it was born in the United States. No one drinks like the Germans. The 750 ml bottles taste sweet like cherries and plum and cost $150 each.

5. Pabst Blue Ribbon 1844

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

The result of brewed German caramel malts and American whiskey barrels gave birth to this ale that is cheap in the US but not very affordable in China. It has 6% alcohol by volume and one bottle of 720 ml costs 44$.

6. Nail Brewing’s Antarctic Nail Ale

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

Looking at the price tag ($1850 for a 500 ml bottle) would make you think you’re drinking liquid gold. But this 10% alcohol by volume brew is actually not that exquisite in tasting or making. All the profits from the auction sales are used to protect the marine life.

7. Carlsberg Jacobsen Vintage No. 1

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

If fruity notes with a hint of caramel, wood and dried fruit is your cup of tea, this beer from Denmark will charm your taste buds. But not your pockets. It costs $400 to enjoy 375 ml of this beverage which has 10.5% alcohol by volume.

8. Saporo Space Barley

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

In 2006 Japanese and Russian scientists teamed up to plant barley on the International Space Station. Because down here on Earth we’re kinda running out of fertile soil. Bummer. With the fourth generation of barley the Japanese created the world’s first out of space beer. They kept it modest, with only 5.5% alcohol by volume, selling it at $110 per six pack.

9. Tutankhamun Ale

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

Inspired by his archaeological discovery, Dr. Barry Kemp tried to recreate an Egyptian recipe using the traces of beer residue he found in Queen Nefertiti’s Royal Brewery. Made in the UK, this ale was designed to have an ancient taste. Is costs $75 and has 6% alcohol by volume.

10. Crown Ambassador Reserve Lager

10 Most Expensive Beers In The World

You can tell it’s expensive only by the looks. Encased in a velvet box, shaped like a champagne bottle, this Australian beer has 10.2% alcohol and costs $90 per 750 ml. It is aged for twelve whole months in oak barrels before it’s sold to beer enthusiasts all over the world.

Best 10 Beers in the World

April 25, 2014 By Fred Mitchell Leave a Comment

Beer needs no introduction.  It’s the world’s favorite alcoholic drink, surpassing other favorites such as wine and cocktails. But while some brands of beer are widely known and easy to find, others are somehow reserved for initiates and beer geeks. And, according to a study carried out by two Stanford University Computer experts, the beer geeks seem to have the best tastes. As we consume more and more varieties of a product, our ability to detect fine nuances improves and we discriminate better between the various types of taste we experience. This observation, proven right by the scientific study mentioned above, can actually be applied to almost anything. Some things are more for beginners, while others are more likely to be enjoyed by initiates who had already gained some expertise.

As for the best 10 beers in the world, the study has shown that the ones rated as being the best in terms of taste and quality are unfortunately not the widely known and available ones, but rather the specialty beers which tend to be harder to find. But if you’re a beer enthusiast, do yourself a favor and seek out at least a few of these. Your taste buds may experience a sudden revelation.

1. Westvleteren’s 12

1

This beer scored the highest rating in the study and it’s apparently widely appreciated by people who can get their hands on it. It’s brewed by the monks of the Trappist Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren in Belgium and sold right at the gates of the monastery, weekly. It has no label and contains just water, yeast, hops, malt, sugar and caramel. If you’re not planning a visit to Belgium too soon, you can also buy the beer online, sometimes.

2. Three Floyd’s Brewing Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout

2

Three Floyd’s Brewing has many famous beers, but Dark Lord tops them all. It’s a Russian Imperial Stout brewed with coffee and honey and molasses and it tastes divine. Unfortunately, they only sell it on Dark Lord Day (the last Saturday of April) and customers need to have some pre-bought tickets to the event.

3. AleSmith’s Speedway Stout

3

This is another Imperial Stout, brewed with coffee and with a total of 12% alcohol in full volume. It’s a strong beer, with a toasted hint.

4. Bell’s Expedition Stout

4

This is produced by Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo, Michigan and it’s yet another strong stout (apparently these seem to be deemed the best for beer connoisseurs). It has a pitch black color and a strong coffee aftertaste, while also being somewhat sweet.

5. Three Floyd’s Brewing Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

5

The first non-stout on our list is yet another brew from the Three Floyd’s Brewing. This one has mango and peach undertones to keep it from tasting too bitter and an extreme flavor profile.

6. Founder’s Brewing Co.’s KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)

6

Apparently, if you’re a true beer lover, there’s nothing wrong with starting your day with a strong stout for breakfast. This one is brewed not just with coffee, but also with chocolates. It has a very dark and rich flavor and it’s only served after cave-aging in bourbon oak barrels.

7. Russian River’s Pliny the Elder

7

Yet another non-stout: this one is a Double India Pale Ale and it contains citrus, pine and fresh hops. It has a balanced taste and a dry finish.

8. Russian River’s Temptation

8

This time, the Russian River Brewery made it to the top with a sour blond ale, aged in Chardonnay barrels.

9. Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout

9

This stout is brewed in 18 year-old bourbon barrels for two years and its delicious chocolate undertones will make you come back for more.

10. Hair of the Dog’s Adam

10

The Adam ale from the Hair of the Dog brewery is actually a recreation of a historic beer style from Dortmund, Germany.

These were the best 10 beers in the world. May you get to enjoy them all.

5 Common Beer Myths Debunked

March 13, 2014 By Fred Mitchell Leave a Comment

We all drink beer, right? Or at least at some special occasions, summer night gatherings with friends, a good football or other sports competition, events and personal celebrations. But people, despite the fact that they like beer – and this is easily provable by the number of differently flavored beers this world is favoring, a topic we covered not so long ago – also still hold some prejudice when it comes to this ancient and very popular drink. Some fear the bear – belly, a monster that seems to threaten solid marriages (you know from what point of view), others fear its health damaging features, while others just believe that beer kills brain cells. Which is not quite true. Now if you are an alcoholic – which we hope it’s not the case – you should know that beer is actually healthier than you expected. In case you spend your days soaking your brain and liver in alcohol, it really doesn’t matter if you have lite beer, dark beer or oyster – flavored beer, you still need to have that problem in check. But without much ado, let’s see 5 common beer myths debunked!

5. If you drink lite beer you won’t get fat

This is lazy dieting and you know it. Usually, normal beers have around a bit under 200 calories, while most lite beer brands revolve around an average of 90 – 100 calories. If you need to lose 100 calories a day out of your meal plan, lose something else, as the difference between three lite beers and two normal beers is quite insignificant, not to mention that lite beers don’t taste as good as regular ones. So do yourself a favor and start exercising and have the beer of choice.

4. Dark beers are stronger in alcohol. Corollary: Dark beers are faster fattening than the blonde ones

You can have a dark, strong, awesome Guinness with an average of 4% alcohol and a superb Belgian blondie which gathers around 8% alcohol. Now if you still believe that the color of beer has some sort of connection with how fattening or not is a specific product, you should do your homework better, as…

dark beer

3. Beer doesn’t contain fat, nor cholesterol!

We got this one a little bit messed up because we are trying to show you common beer myths debunked and not start with the truth, but in this case, the truth speaks loud and it needs to be heard! Beer doesn’t lead to the increase of cholesterol levels. Beer hydrates and, most importantly, it contains twice the quantities of anti – oxidants than wine, vitamins in the B category, folic acid, soluble silicium and many other healthy substances. Of course, a beer healthy diet is not quite recommended, but a moderate quantity of beer can do you a world of good.

2. Beer in combination with other liquors gives you hangover hell

It’s the quantity of alcohol you pour in that will ultimately give you a hangover. Try mixing different cocktails with wine and some hard liquors and see what happens. There are a lot of sayings and a lot of popular beliefs involving beer, before or after consuming other drinks, but at the end of the party, is how much you drank is the concept you’ll have to pay your tolls to.

1. Beer causes the infamous beer belly

Your belly might get a bit over your trousers’ belt not because you can’t help yourself to have a beer once every two days. It’s the total consumption of calories, fats and unhealthy products that build your belly. And, if we are to speak the truth, it’s the munchies you can’t get enough of while you drink beer, be them salted peanuts, pretzels or pizza. This article on WebMD is quite enlightening when it comes to explaining why people develop bellies and what is beer’s specific role in all of this.

Do you want more common beer myths debunked? There are some useful sources out there which will convince you to not choose beer as patsy for some bad things that are happening to your life. Otherwise, if drank with moderation and wisdom, beer is a healthy friend you want to keep close. Cheers!

5 Strange Flavored Beers to Try Once in a Lifetime

January 21, 2014 By Fred Mitchell Leave a Comment

You know how we like tasting, trying and enjoying strange foods and beverages, going to new crazy places, roam the world for the most exotic, weird and unfamiliar dishes and drinks. So you can imagine we won’t waste a minute before discovering some strange flavored beers to try once in a lifetime, just as we set the goal of trying the strange flavored ice – creams around the world we talked about not a long time ago.

Some of these beer flavors are not completely unknown to you, especially if you’re in the curious and courageous department and your regular ale doesn’t satisfy your needs to explore uncharted territories on your taste buds’ map, but given the large variety of odd tasting beers, among even the largest one of “normal” tasting ones, you might find among these 5 strange flavored beers to try once in a lifetime, at least one to become your favorite. And for the fun of it, let’s look as them as regular meals replacements, not that we’d encourage having beer for breakfast.

1. Breakfast – Bacon Maple Ale

bacon maple ale

Breakfast without bacon is like trying to get a tan in the middle of the night. It just doesn’t make sense. Also, since pancakes and maple syrup is another favorite choice for a jolly morning, it makes perfect sense to have a beer that combines bacon and maple. Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale is powered by Rogue Ales in Oregon and it promises a once in a lifetime experience. Now if you really want to have breakfast, it seems that an omelet, pastry or some ham sandwiches go great with this mind – blowing ale.

2. Brunch – Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter

peanut butter coffee

Now we know peanut butter also falls in the breakfast category, but you can’t just stuff yourself with beer so early in the morning. But if you want to take a quick bite somewhere during brunch hour, peanut butter and coffee seem the way to go, especially if you’re the type that kills for peanut butter and coffee. The Willoughby Brewing Company is here to serve you a 5% alcohol mix that can make your taste buds explode and your brain develop and addiction.

3. Lunch – Pizza Beer

pizza beer

Besides bacon, which is the engine of the world, pizza is the boat that rocks the world, as it contains a lot of yummy ingredients to die for. So lunch and pizza go great together, especially if pizza comes in a beer bottle. Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer comes with the taste of pizza crunchy addictive crust and basil, oregano, tomato and garlic flavors. What can you ask for more? If you ever reach the place, taste this, among all the other strange flavored beers to try once in a lifetime and come back to us to tell if it is just as heavenly as we believe.

4. Afternoon munchies – Spicy Vegetables Beer

spicy vegetables beer

It’s quite healthy to add some spices to your lifestyle and if you feel like having a snack in the afternoon that is both delicious and able to give you a ride through Hell, this one is for you. It is marketed as being the hottest beer ever made and its name says enough to scare you: Ghost Face Killah (powered by Twisted Pine Brewery). It is a mix of hot peppers, aromatic herbs and fruity notes and it guarantees you won’t feel your tongue (or internal organs for that matter, as you’ll get scorched and paralyzed on the inside), but you will definitely build and appetite. Consider this a small salad with immense benefits.

5. Dinner – Oyster Beer

oyster beer

Remember we had Japanese oyster ice-cream? Well apparently, oysters are humanity’s most favorite delight when it comes to refined tastes and luxurious combinations. So instead going to a fancy restaurant and leave your month’s paycheck on an empty oyster plate, you could go for one of these strange flavored beers to try once in a lifetime and keep some money in your pocket. The Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout by Maryland’s finest Flying Dog Ales, is an artwork produced by people who understand oysters are the way to go when it comes to drinking beer.

If you can handle yourself after having so much ale, you can try even some dessert. Liquid, of course, as these people don’t mess around when it comes to strange beers.

Chocolate Milk Stout

So for your sweet tooth, you can choose from Shorts Brewing Company’s Key Lime Pie (which tastes like key lime pie at its best), Tex Mex Beer’s seasonal Siesta Prickly Pear Lager (a light, summary fresh fruit salad to wash away the oysters) to Odell Brewing’s Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout, which is a creamy, chocolaty, milky mix that will transport you in the land of Willy Wonka – in the good way. Enjoy! And remember, be responsible and don’t drink too much! Leave some for the others too.
