Beer lovers have more reason to celebrate. Jacobsen Brew House has just launched the second edition of its Vintage trilogy and the Vintage No. 2 is being touted as one of the world’s most expensive beers.

Morten Ibsen, one of the five creators of Vintage No.2 claims that the Vintage trilogy intends to challenge luxury wines with what they have to offer. With only 600 bottles in production, each costing over 250 euro, the luxury beer may indeed take over from the select wines being sipped at posh locations the world over. According to Jacobsen, vintage No.2 is a Baltic Porter taking after the Imperial Stout originally made for the Russian Tsarina Katherine the Great in the 18thC. With an expiry date of 2059, the beer is ebony black in colour with a fragrance similar to tar and ropes.

Vintage No.2 is supposed to go well with sea food as well as chocolate and crème crème brûlée. Each bottle of Vintage No.2 has a hand stencilled print by Marco Evaristti. Do you have what it takes to become a ‘citizen of the pink state’?
