Ask Ghana nationalities and they will tell you the relevance of such branded products. Seemingly bottles, these are apparently very purposeful as they serve as coffins to celebrate one’s death ceremony.

It is no prank as Delicious Ghost points to this Ghanaweb writeup: For Ga tribe, the moment of funeral is a blissful period of mourning along with celebration. They believe death is a stage that takes a human being to a new phase of life and thus his farewell should be performed in an elite manner. And what could be more valuable than honoring their dead with intensely tinted coffins that commemorate the way they lived. Other branded examples can be counted as giant Coke bottle, an Air Jordan coffin or even cigarette coffins.

Also, artists and carpenters have mixed feelings for this product with a different reason. They cherish the fact that the designer coffins are being used here as a home for their after life but also grieves that all their efforts invested in making the unique coffin gets buried with the burial of the dead body.

The Trappist Monks based at St. Sixtus monastery, respecting their responsibility stay away from treasures, sex and red meat. Also, they utter a word when it becomes impossible. But you can touch space with them over beer phone. Their engagement into producing most expensive brew for years now has earned them voracious customers by maintaining their saintly hangover. Since 1839, around 26 monks have been preparing Westvleteren beer at a distant location near the French border. The facts are enough to urge you taste this beer that offers strengths up to 10.2% alcohol amount and is being recognized as the priciest beer available globally.

Bars ranging from Brussels to Boston and at various online spots, it is being sold for more than $15 for an 11-ounce bottle, which is 10 times the deserving cost demanded by monks, if you are fortunate to get. The monks are making efforts not to reside over a bigger canvas, to stay within limited geography. You may not see Trappist tag on the bottles as these saints don’t believe in creating hype. A word is around that they haven’t augmented their making since 1946. Till date, only fromt gate is the means to pick this pricey brew. Unlike other spirit shops, this requires a pre-fixed appointment followed by a restriction of picking two, 24-bottle cases a month.

This was in order to put a stop on the high-priced online market that is keeping all eyes on it’s the moment of scarcity. If recognition can make a difference and add some weight to the facts I am disclosing then here is one. Two of the American web sites bagged the award of “the 12″ best in the world for the Westvleteren’s three products.
