Australian beer maker Fosters has gotten into the luxury beer market with a lager that
costs $70 Australian a bottle. The
2009 Crown Ambassdor Reserve Lager is the second vintage of the lager which undergoes in-bottle fermentation for a more complex taste and is presented in a 750 ml champagne-style bottle. The beer doesn't need to be quaffed immediately, it can be cellared for up to 10 years. Last year the beer sold out quickly and it is expected that those who missed out on one of last year's 5,000 bottles might grab one of this year's 6,000 brews. One bottle you can't get is the first bottle. The Queen of England has both the first bottles of the 2008 and 2009 vintages in her cellars.
