'I just had this weird feeling and I said, 'How much did I just pay for that beer?' says Peter Lalor, a cricket writer from Australia.
"I just had this weird feeling and I said, 'How much did I just pay for that beer?' The girl at the bar looked at the receipt and said, 'Oh my God!' and was a bit reluctant to show me the bill." Lalor toldA hotel manager quickly acknowledged the mistake and promised to rectify the bill. Lalor left, assuming his bank would not approve such a large charge anyways.
"I woke up to an alarmed phone call from my wife, who had found a massive hole in my mortgage account," he told"They can take the money out in a second but apparently it takes them up to 10 working days to put it back. I'm losing a fair whack of interest and as of this moment, I'm $99,000 [Australian dollars] out of pocket.""It really is baffling that both Visa and our bank would allow such an amount to go through unquestioned," Lalor later tweeted.
A Malmaison spokesperson told paper the hotel was conducting an investigation."We have been in contact with Peter to apologize and ensure this has been resolved as quickly as possible."On Thursday, Lalor tweeted that the hotel was being"very helpful" in correcting the error. He also praised Deuchars.
"It's a good beer. The original version of it won a heap of awards, including the Supreme Champion Beer of Britain," he wrote."But if you are thinking that no beer is worth the best part of $100,000 [AUD], then I am inclined to agree with you." While beer rarely gets as expensive as Lalor paid, there are some rather pricey brew on the market: A 750ml bottle of Lost Abbey Cable Car Kriek sold for $923, one of the most expensive bottles ever sold at Skinner Auctions.
