Let’s learn a little bit more about Arctic Ale before hitting bid:

Early in the spring of 1851, the British Admiralty, with guidance of HM Queen Victoria had contacted several brewers in England to compete in a contest to brew a special beer to withstand the rigors of the cold arctic climate. Several of the large breweries competed, like Bass, and Salt, but in the end, "Arctic Ale" by Samuel Allsopp's and Sons was awarded to supply the mission. Allsopp was located in the home of British brewing, Burton on Trent, famous for it's distinct brewing water and was home to as many as 40 different breweries in it's peak, brewing started in the St. Modwen's Abby  in the 11th century and continues to this day.”
