If you have a small fortune, but lack good ideas about how to spend it, you could bankroll me. I’d be a very grateful recipient and make you proud, or at least mention you kindly once in a while. Otherwise, you might want to consider moving to Iceland and opening a microbrewery?
I assume it has something do with taxes or shipping or communism, but for some reason the booze here is PHENOMENALLY expensive. Like $15 USD a pint or some such insanity. And people pay it. And they drink A LOT. They’re drinkers and they’ve got loot to burn.
Thus, to summarize: Come here. Undercut the market with an $11 or $12 glass of refreshment. Get some cutesy names like Blue Lagoon Lager, Arctic Ale, and Puffin Pilsner. Double your fortune. At least.

Now Puffin Pilsner could work. What % do we have to give the Icelandic government in tax. Do you think we’d get away with using real Puffin extract in the drink, for that truly authentic taste?

I would expect nothing less than real Puffin in the pilsner! A pound of puffin in every vat! Here’s another flavor for the intrepid tourist: Hakarl Hefeweizen. Because what goes better than a brew made of wheat and fermented shark flesh? Why, a slice of lemon, of course!
