Received an email from Fullers regarding one of the vintage ales, at only £100 fora 500ml bottle https://www.fullersbrewery.co.uk/products/fullers-...

Now I like Fullers, especially the ESB mixed with Golden Pride, but I wouldn't pay £!00 for a bottle of beer. Not sure what my limit would be but probably a tenner. How about you?

Is this the beer equivalent of the £100k* mk1 Escort?
The vintage ales are very nice but it's a no from me. Waitrose have often stocked the latest year at Christmas and then discounted after. Bought a few that way!

Back to the how much perhaps this:

I've a bottle or two maturing for special occasions. It is chuffing scrummy! And for a wine size (and nearly strength) bottle not as expensive as it appears /manmaths

*estimate!

I’m with you a tenner. I couldn’t tell the difference to be honest. Then again I can’t really tell the difference when wine gets expensive you get over £15 a bottle and it all tastes good.

a beer is never worth that, not if you want to drink it.
My dad was a wine collector, and while i agree that alot of expensive wines arent worth the price, he did have some good ones, up to £50 for wine for a special event would be ok, what they charge in restaurants is mad. but some of the ones he had were thousands, and to me i couldnt really tell the difference between a £50 bottle and a £1000 bottle, maybe im a ludite.
He did make alot of money out of his hobbie tho.
