The £250 bottle of beer

200x190.jpgThis is probably the world's most expensive bottle of beer ... costing a whopping £250 per bottle

Carlsberg will only sell 600 bottles of their Vintage No. 2  brew which they claim "pushes the boundaries of what a beer can do"

It has been stored in French oak casks for 100 days and Carlsberg say their is no reason it can't compete with luxury wines for a spot on the dining table of uber-rich restaurant goers.

With a dark clack colour and espresso-like foam the beer is said to reveal flavours of vanilla and cocoa/mocha and be a perfect pairing for oysters, shellfish and Parma ham.

I say 'is said to' because at £250 per bottle I am never likely to taste it.
Each Vintage bottle is labelled with a hand stencilled lithographic print made by the artist Marco Evaristti, who is mostly known for his controversial exhibition of gold fish in a blender in Denmark.

The Vintage brew is best served at a temperature of 15-20°C.
