The Rich Times

With Jacobsen Vintage No. 1, the Jacobsen brewhouse sets a new beer record as one of the most expensive brands of beers priced at $350. There are only 600 bottles that were brewed and currently it is widely discussed among the various connoisseurs of beer.

The project started as a wild idea and a wish to create a new type of beer that had never been seen before. During the ageing process in new barrels, lots of chemical processes take place. Not all reactions are known but they taste wonderful”, says Jens Eiken, Head Brewer at Jacobsen. The beer will be sold mainly through three up-scale restaurants in Copenhagen, Denmark. There are flavors of vanilla, smoke, caramel and port in this beer as they are matured on ‘Swedish or French Cote dor oak casks’. Each bottle of Jacobsen Vintage No. 1 is labelled with an original hand stilled lithographic print made by the Danish artist Frans Kannik. The prints depict fables of Sif. Sif was married to the Nordic god Thor, who was often used by Carls Jacobsen as a symbol of strength.
