A fellow brewer posted about about an article on the Bostonist. Someone bid $500,000 for a bottle of beer brewed in 1852.

Now, everyone who knows me knows I take my beer fairly seriously, but…

Half a mil?

Wow.

“But one beer lover’s gain is another’s loss. Seattlest notes that the beer first appeared on eBay and was sold for a measly $304. The buyer turned around and sold it for $500,000. The seller – a guy from Lynn, actually – is probably wishing he got that sucker appraised at Antiques Roadshow before putting it up on eBay. “

You know what, I’m afraid if I found that thing, I’d crack ‘er open to see how it tastes! Then find out what it was worth.

Cheers!
