OK, funny story this one. . . first time I ever went to a Bierkeller bar, in Liverpool, and seemingly they didn’t sell any beer! only various lagers.

I asked if they had any dark beers in bottles and the guy said yeah, we have these, so we agreed and he popped the cap off them, one each fro me and my mate Jonny. . . then he tapped it into the till and went pale. . . Apparently they were £20 each! We nearly died, and obviously he had opened them, so there wasnt a lot we could do about it. We ended up getting them half price, but it is still to this day the dearest beer I have ever bought!

Was it worth it. . . No, but. . . It was a fantastic beer, very tasty, nicely smoked, and one we savoured. I would definately drink it again, its smooth and strong, full bodied, but I wouldn’t pay that much for it!
