Strictly speaking, this is not really a Homebrew thread but I thought it was interesting enough to ping you.

So, any bets on if the brew is skunked or not?

I see that cork as its Achilles heel....

On or off this low volume Ping List, let me know.

Cheers,

Check out the bidding on this bottle of beer, not your average everyday after work thirst quencher.

Interesting that it has a paper label.

I used to collect old bottles as a kid, and I excavated may a 1800’s beer bottle. None of then contained product.
Blatz used to bottle their beer in earthenware bottles with the name blatz fired into the glaze

I have excavated many medicine bottles with product still in them

This takes some of the sting out of the selling price.

I know what you mean, if you click my profile page you will see some cufflinks and a bunch of fish. Ignore the fish but the cufflinks were baught for 2 bucks and sold on ebay for $736. On a side note, it probably cost me that much to catch those fish LOL.

Put me in the skunked column. No way a brew will stay lively or fresh after 150 years. Of course, it’ll still probably be better than drinking a Miller or Bud...

I have a few vintages of Thomas Hardy’s Old Ale, and a half-dozen or so Sam Adams Triple Bocks, that I am saving for retirement, in 20 years or so....

If you are the seller, you can view the buyers profile and what they have confirmed buys in the past. I thought the same thing when I sold the above mentioned cuff links, lots of high rollers on ebay.
