Would anyone pay this ?

[Donegal john]

Seen an add online for this and took a look
Nearly fell over when I seen the price
Would anyone on here ever pay that kind of money for a beer ?
I can buy much the same for £10.

It doesn't even sound that nice. An IPA aged in bourbon barrels?

 

[Donegal john]

One half aged in bourbon the other in whiskey barrels.
Brehon brewhouse do a 500ml one for £5
Where does this price come from ?
Wouldn’t pay £200 for the whiskey never mind the beer.

 

[Rwilts]

No

 

[phildo79]

Maybe it's a deliberate typo to try and get some tw@t to buy one.

 

[emmever]

Personal opinion: not at all.
I find very posh paying that amount of money for a beer

 

[Rodcx500z]

somebody will but not me

 

[Donegal john]

somebody will but not me

But are they buying it just to show off and say “look what I bought”
Surely the beer can’t be anything that special ? Even the abv is a measly 10%, on the low side for a barrel aged

Posh or stupid people ?

I imagine its target audience isn't people with any knowledge of or interest in the brewing process, so I'd fully expect it to get a lukewarm reception here

Probably done on a purpose to get people talking about it. a marketing ploy
Then miraculously drops to £50 or less

Even down to £50 is £40 too much lol

Don't see the justification, aged for a year in barrels, that's commonplace for some Belgian breweries and they're a few quid per bottle

If you're having to project negative characteristics such as stupidity or perceived class onto the potential purchasers, then that probably says more about your own insecurities.

If you have the money and you'll enjoy it, or share the experience with friends, why not. Like weddings or holidays, cost is offset by the value you attach to it.

Not a fan of bourbon though.

Just under a year it says
Agreed it’s nothing special
As the Barron says possibly a marketing ploy
They made 200 bottles but only 15 are for sale
What they doing with the rest ?

I’m not projecting my “insecurities “ as you put it onto anyone. I’m not insecure about paying for anything that has a marketable value, however I am asking the question about who would buy it at a price that has no basis in the market out there for similar products. It’s not aged in rare whiskey barrels as far as I can read on the website
I agree if you have the money then of course you should buy it and enjoy it but having the money does not make you any more intelligent.

Or, less intelligent. Or, a show off.

Market value is always what someone is prepared to pay. £200 for a very rare bottle of beer, could be that.

Definitely,


but It would have to be at least 100 bottles not one
