We now have an official titleholder as “the most expensive glass of beer in England.” The Packhorse Pub has been closed since last year due to the pandemic restrictions, and when they learned they would be allowed to reopen they decided to have some fun and help two good causes. With a listing on eBay, the pub auctioned off the first drink poured in the pub in over a year.
A fun idea, and it turned out to be a good one for the charities. The auction was won by
Olivia and
Isabelle Cundy, who purchased a pint of Birra Moretti beer for $1,065. The proceeds of the sale are being donated to the Dorothy House Hospice Care and the Mountain Way, a charity that specializes in helping military personnel dealing with PTSD.
