Antarctic Ale is the most expensive in the world!

Antarctic Ale!

No I’m not kidding! Seriously someone, i.e. Nail Brewery, got their hands (or should I say mittens) on some ice from the Antarctic to create their most expensive bottle yet!

You think Bermuda is cold right now? You dread getting back on your motorbike after work today? Well have some thought for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and its boat crew.

This crew, which runs around scaring and annoying Japanese Whaling boats from killing large mammals, spent so much time in the Antarctic they decided to bring it back to Australia.

What else would an Australian do with that kind of ice? An Australian with a brother-in-law who owned a brewing company? Well put it into a beer!

So John Stallwood, owner of Nail Brewing took the ice brought by his brother-in-law from an iceberg in the Antarctic and turned it into beer.

The first bottle of Nail Ale’s most was auctioned-off last month for $800 AUD or about US$790!! Or the MOST EXPENSIVE BEER in the world!

But that is nothing compared to a second bottle of the ale which was purchased for AUD$1,850 or about US $1,826.

You think a beer at your local pub or bar is expensive?! They have nothing on these auctions. But why pay so much?

Well for one the profit goes toward the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society which helps save wildlife and in particular whales.

And for two it’s the water. Really I didn’t think so or couldn’t imagine paying that much for water, but apparently beer drinkers can!

Yes apparently Beer is 90% water (and you thought it was alcohol!). So the water you use is incredibly important. Take it from these guys:

So enjoy that beer in front of you and consider buying one of the 28 beers left to help support saving the whales! Happy Monday.

The benefit of this Ale’s price, however, is that all proceeds go toward the Sea Shepherd and the crew’s courageous efforts to keep Japanese Whalers out of the Antarctic
