Most Expensive Beer Bottle Recovered From Hindenburg Ashes

Posted on 10. Nov, 2009 by Ricky in News & Events

A bottle of beer was recovered in New Jersey by a firefighter in 1937 at the site of the Hindenburg fire.

The beer bottle is expected to bring in up to $8,000 this weekend at auction. The beer is Lowenbrau, over 62 years old and the beer inside is undrinkable.

“It is the most valuable bottle of beer ever sold,” said Aldridge of the British auction house Henry Aldridge & Sons. “You wouldn’t want to drink it – it is probably quite putrid to taste”
