There's a new contestant for the title of world's most expensive beer. At the Sea Shepherds auction in Fremantle,Australia this week the number one bottle (of 30) of Antarctic Nail Ale sold for $800. The beer was brewed with ice brought back from the Antarctica from the Sea Shepherds last campaign. Proceeds went to the Sea Shepard, which fights to stop Japanese whaling ships killing whales in the Antarctic sanctuary. The buyer was the Elliot Syndicate. The new beer rivals the £500 "The end of History" created by Brewdog. The Scottish brewery brewed eleven bottles of the beer which has an alcohol content of 55 percent ABV and was sold in animal carcasses. Antarctic Nail Ale was brewed by Nail Brewing Australia at Edith Cowan University. Sea Shepherd has bottles #2 to 10 available for purchase.
