A customer from Oklahoma paid $304 for a bottle of Allsopp's Arctic Ale on eBay in 2007, according to Antiques Trade. This was when the story of the priciest beer started. A Massachusetts retailer charged $19.95 for delivery of it.
 
According to antiquestradegazette.com, the bottle was accompanied by an old, laminated handwritten note that was signed by  Percy G. Bolster and stated that he had received the bottle back in 1919. Additionally, the beer had been "specially produced in 1852 for a polar trip," according to the letter.
 
The buyer immediately realized that the beer was a component of the supply cache that Sir Edward Belcher had brought to the Arctic in 1852 while searching for Sir John Franklin and his crew. The Northwest Passage, which links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by way of the Arctic Sea, is said to have been the scene of a disastrous voyage for two ships, according to tradition.
 
HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were unable to return to the dock because the crews had to abandon the ships. Unfortunately, no evidence of the two crews ever surfaced. The beer bottle was discovered after rescue attempts to find Erebus, Terror, and their crews were sent out.
