How much would you pay for a beer? Do you think $67,000 is too much? Well Peter Lalor would have to agree..
Australian journalist Peter Lalor has written about beer for almost 25 years and normally doesn't pay more than $10 for a bottle.
In a recent interview to CNN about a trip to a hotel bar in Manchester, England, Peter said he expected to pay $6.76 for a beer, but was charged more than 10,000 times more than that!
Taking to social media, Peter posted about the beer ordeal and probably the most expensive beer in history.
See this beer? That is the most expensive beer in history.

I paid $99,983.64 for it in the Malmaison Hotel, Manchester the other night.
Seriously.

Management issued him an immediate refund and assured him the charge that massive might not even go through, unfortunately though, a few days later, his wife called and the money was gone.
His bank said it takes about 10 days to refund the money.
A representive from the hotel was quoted saying, "We always benchmark our bar prices and acknowledge this was a tad on the steep side. We hope we can invite Peter back for another drink soon. The next one is definitely on the house!"
WOW!
No beer, or drink for that matter, is worth that amount of money!
