The title of “World’s Most Expensive Beer” shifted from Scotland to Australia last night where a single bottle of Antarctic Nail Ale sold for $800.
The limited edition beer, of which only 30 were bottled, was created at the Nail Brewing headquarters at Edith Cowan University in Perth. It was sold as part of an auction benefiting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society — and made from Antarctic ice brought back from their last anti-whaling campaign in the Southern Ocean.
“Over 90% of beer is water, so the Antarctic Nail Ale could possibly be the world’s oldest and purest beer,” brewer John Stallwood said.
The previous record holder will be familiar to Ecorazzi readers as the Scottish brewers who wrapped their “End of History” ale in stuffed dead animals.
“It’s great to sell the most expensive bottle of beer in the world, but it’s all about a good cause. It’s also good that a beer about saving the whales is now most expensive beer in the world, rather than high alcohol beer sold in animal carcasses,” Stallwood added.
Hippies Failing Badly!TM
Please let me know if you want on or off the Whale Wars ping list.
Imagine what Moon-Water beer will bring!...could Moon-water replace gold in the fullness of time?
At that price I would save the pee...
How’d I know you’d end up on this thread?
“Over 90% of beer is water, so the Antarctic Nail Ale could possibly be the world’s oldest and purest beer”
Oldest?
Not unless they drilled a few hundred feet down to get the ice.
Whatta gimmick.
Some idiot is quietly berating himself.
How much Fossil Fuel Did They Burn Shipping that Antarctic Ice (and keeping it from melting) to the Brewery?
Did not know they made it in 24oz! My favorite beer at this point.
Of all the pings so far, Pan_Yan this one is by far the most important one for me... LOL!!!
It’s just penguin pee.
Watch out where the penguins go...
The water in my toliet bowl is the same age as water in Antartica even if it came from the bottom of the ice sheet..
GORE JUICE!
IT COMES IN A TWO PACK
Now you know how they melt the ice.
Yes, but beer made from water from your toilet might be a little harder to market. Just sayin.
Let me guess, a drunk Steeler's fan bought it then immediately chugged it...........

You’re flushing your toilet with water from the bottom of an ice sheet.
Good grief man, you could be making beer with it!
