That’s right, the Danish brewer Carlsberg ASA has released their Vintage No. 1 which goes for 2,800 kroner or $400 per bottle. Only 600 12 ounce bottles were produced and they will be sold at three of Copenhagen’s most exclusive restaurants. The brew clocks in at 10.5 percent and was stored in special Swedish and French oak casks that supposed gave it it’s $400 taste.

Carlsberg boasts that it’s “probably the best” as well as the most expensive beer in the world.

Probably!? For $400 I want a little more assurance that I am about to imbibe the greatest goddamn concoction of barley and hops every crafted.

Eiken insisted that even though Vintage No.1 costs up to 400 times as much as a normal beer, its special ingredients make it “400 times tastier.”

Sold. Genius. How can you argue with such sound logic?
