One thing we know about booze is that the price does not reflect the quality. Just because something cost an arm and a leg doesn’t mean that it is worth it. Yet still, some of these hefty price come with a certain notoriety, rarity, novelty while also featuring something extra special. So here is a list of some of the most expensive beers in the world.The world record price for a bottle of beer was smashed in Devizes today when a bottle of Lowebrau lager sold for over £10,000.
A bottle of Lowebrau Lager was recovered from a wreckage of a German Ship HindenBurg after it burst in to flames as it moored at Lakehurst,New York on May 6 1937. .It was sold for 16,000 U.S dollars .The brew survived the disaster, the auctioneer cautioned against quaffing the beverage, saying that the 62-year-old suds would taste putrid.
The Most expensive bottle of beer, heat-damaged but still sealed, was sold with an account of its recovery signed by Mr Smith. Fierce international phone bidding pushed up the price at Henry Aldridge auctioneers in Devizes, Wilts.It was part of the collection of survivor Richard Kollmer. The brown bottle of Lowenbrau lager was discovered in the wreckage by Leroy Smith, a fire chief on the scene. Smith discovered a total of six bottles and a pitcher at the scene of the disaster. He distributed four of the bottles as souvenirs to colleagues and one to the Lowenbrau brewery in 1977, where it still remains.
Smith buried the bottles on site because the police cordoned off the area to investigate the cause of the fiery accident. He later dug up the mementos giving five of the beers to his colleagues and keeping one for himself including the silver-plated jug. Smith's family kept the beer bottle and jug until they decided to sell it.
The current record of the Lowebrau Lager being sold for 16,000 U.S Dollars has smashed the previous one as it was tipped for a paltry 2500 pounds to 3000 pounds by an auctioneer Alan Aldridge. There was fierce competition from telephone bidders all over the world, mainly from the US. Mr Aldridge eventually knocked the item down for £9,400. With buyer's premium, the Most expensive bottle of beer will cost the purchaser £10,810. The prices for the Hindenburg memorabilia dwarfed those for items connected with Elvis Presley, Diana Ross, Peter Sellers and Paul McCartney.
The most expensive beer was set by Lowebrau Lager for 16000 United States Dollars (10,810 pounds) at London,United Kingdom on November 17,2009.
