The $120 Six-Pack Of Lager

Well let’s start with the obvious, any Pilsner that goes for $20 a bottle better be special, very special. And Hanabi Lager is pretty sure they’ve something special.

Hanabi Lager Co  was founded by Nick Gislason, the director of winemaking at Screaming Eagle, “America’s most expensive wine,” where bottles of its small-batch Cabernet Sauvignon can fetch $5,000 or more.

And Gislason’s authentic vision is what Hanabi Lager is all about.

“This is the best beer we have ever brewed, and damn, it just tastes like home,” the company explains on its website, citing their seasonal addition, San Juan Island Bere, which is made from “ancient” barley grown organically in San Juan Island, Washington.

San Juan Island Bere is a 4.9% ABV Pilsner that’s as pricey as it is ambitious.

“Every beer he makes features a single heirloom grain that’s been painstakingly sourced and cared for just like the great wines of the world feature single grape varietals,” The NY Post reported.
