$2,000 Beer
$2,000 beer, Hypercolor cars, Google’s Quantum AI Lab and more in our weekly look at the web
Leave it to Portland—land of microbrews, fine coffee and facial hair—to produce one of the world’s most expensive beers. Recently fetching $2,000 per bottle, Hair of the Dog Brewing Company’s Dave barleywine is aged for 19 years in oak barrels and glass bottles. The dark, strong brew clocks in at 29% alcohol by volume, making it more comparable to a spirit than a beer. The goal behind the ultra-luxe suds was to get people thinking about beer differently and view it with perhaps a bit more sophistication. For the curious with some dollars to blow, there are a few bottles of Dave left in the reserves—feel free to invite us over for a drink.
