Wow! They give a nice list of reasons as to why this beer may be for you but they left off one of the most important qualifiers; being rich as F***.

Not for me. Fresh beer tastes better.

free shipping!!!

If it was a Double Imperial Allsopp’s Arctic Ale I’d be all over it, but the regular is just ‘meh’.

Only $155,000 if you want to buy it now.

The guy that’s selling this beer is actually a homebrewer and posts over on the AHA forum. He has a pretty sweet setup to:

Edit - and here’s the story about him tasting one of the bottles. Pretty interesting read.

Do you open it and drink or hold on to it 5 or 10 years and relist it at $250,000?

Good eye, that makes a difference! Wnder if you can fnd it on Amazon for $19.99?

I remember reading his article now. Sounded good but not that good.

Something tells me that $155,000 is not a big deal to this guy. I wish I was rich.

Gee, I wonder why there are no bids…

I can just picture some redneck like myself buying it, cracking it open, drinking it, and then say, " Eh, my Caribou Slobber was better".

That’s pretty cool! I would have been afraid to drink it because I probably wouldn’t have liked it, and then been disappointed.

If anyone wants to buy this and give it to me, I’ll let you know how it is :lol:

Looks like the price has decreased.
