International Beer Day 2023: Here are the most expensive beers in the world

Arctic Ale is considered to be the most expensive beer in the world as it is over 140 years old. The beverage was produced for Sir George Nares’ 1875 Arctic expedition. A bottle of Arctic Ale was sold at $503,300 in 2007. A limited run of bottles was produced, which makes it an extraordinary collector’s item.

Nail Brewing’s Antarctic Nail Ale is the second most expensive beer in the world and is priced at $1,815. This is an Australian pale ale which is brewed with melted Antarctic iceberg ice. There were only 30 bottles of this beer.

The Cantillon Loerik 1998 is the third most expensive beer in the world. It is priced exorbitantly for its rarity and unique brewing process. However, the beer does not carry much alcohol as it has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 5 per cent.

Brewdog’s The End of History is considered to be one of the strongest beers as it carries an ABV of 55 per cent. It comes in extraordinary packaging as every bottle is kept in a taxidermied animal like a squirrel or weasel. It offers a strong taste of blended malt, oak, and fruit. The End of History is priced at $1,159.

The fifth most expensive beer in the world is De Cam & Fonteinen Millennium Geuze, which is priced at $616. This beer was introduced in Belgium to commemorate a new millennium in the year 1998. This Belgian beer offers an extraordinary taste of unique and complex flavour.
