Awesome idea for a post.

I’ve never seen Ice Cold in Alex but am a fan of all the other movies.

Just watched the entire 7:47 of the Shawshank scene. Love that movie and that scene. So many great quotes like:

“That’s great, it’s like winning the sweepstakes.”

I know this post has been dormant for a bit, but I gotta say it and some of the comments were very interesting. Nice post!

Great beer but the ABV is only around 3.9 to 4ish… it would be way too dangerous if it was at 8.0

My vote has to go for Tombstone. It’s a great movie and they have their bar where they are enjoying a beer and noodles.

But, you must keep in mind, that there are many out there with plenty of disposable income to make it work, while you might not be one of them, they are indeed out there.

George,

Alcohol also kills off and doesn’t allow the growth of harmful bacteria, so the article is correct in that respect. If you leave water that was simply boiled sitting around, you still will get bacterial infection over time. I’m not disputing the immediate outcome of boiling but the alcohol in fermentation processes does that job as well. And later on, hops also had antibacterial and antiseptic results.

I see what your saying about the bottle of beer that is $503,300 being the most expensive but I think here they are talking about beer that is still produce…not one or two of a kind.

How about real beers you’ll never get, like BILLY BEER from Georgia?

Good article, but the process of heating the water either to boiling or pasteurization temperatures killed the bacteria not fermentation (making it a safer beverage at the time).

Also a $520 beer is not among the most expensive bottles of beer – try $503,300 on ebay for an 1852 bottle of Allsops Artic Ale

Finally – CK – in refrence to your post about Dogfish – “one of the most important brewers of our time” – Pleeeeeaaaase, Sam is a cool dude and some of their beers are good, but that reference is a stretch. Let me know when they stop dosing their high gravity beers with sugar to try to break records.
