The bacon beer has finally arrived in Brooklyn. For those who were anxiously awaiting it’s arrival (me), hope you saved up a small fortune. Grub Street reports:

We just about lost it when we heard Brooklyn Brewery brew master Garrett Oliver was working on a beer made from Benton’s Country Smokehouse bacon, and now it’s a reality. The catch is: You’ll have to pay $350 for a taste of Reinschweinsgebot, as Oliver is calling it.

$350 to get a taste!!

The beer is part of a pairing dinner at Per Se on September 18 at 7 p.m.

That sentence is just an unfortunate sentence to read.

If you agree with me that $350 is a little steep, fret not, I have the solution…
