Worlds strongest beer

I was going to post this in the JOKES topic, but it is true.

It's super-strength, costs £500 a pop and goes by the fetching title of The End of History - oh, and it's sold inside dead stuffed animals such as the humble stoat.

BrewDog, of Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, is the firm behind the new ale that's apparently stronger than whisky and vodka at 55 per cent volume.

Indeed, the brewer recommends that the tasty beverage is served in a shot glass 'to be enjoyed like a fine whisky'.

Twelve bottles of The End Of History have already slid off the production line and been placed inside seven dead stoats, four squirrels and one hare.

The animals weren't killed specifically for the purposes of housing the bottles, but died of natural causes.

The critters also sport a range of eye-catching outfits including a kilt and a top hat.

BrewDog co-founder James Watt describes The End Of History as 'a perfect conceptual marriage between taxidermy, art and craft brewing'.

'This is the beer to end all beers. It's an audacious blend of eccentricity, artistry and rebellion; changing the general perception of beer, one stuffed animal at a time,' he continues.

'The bottles are at once beautiful and disturbing - they disrupt conventions and break taboos, just like the beer they hold within them.'

Infused with nettles and juniper berries, the blond Belgian ale is created by freezing the liquid to separate water from the solution, fact fans will be delighted to know.

Those are hillarious!

Might shoot the squirrel one by accident. Shocked

Nice to know them critters passed of natural causes too. Most of mine do too- steel shot is made from a natural resource.

Oh goodie...Now I can spend an arm and a leg for something that will make me as drunk as whiskey that only cost me a finger. I think I'll stick with my whiskey...

thats true bushy, but how often do you find a whiskey that comes wrapped in its own squirrel???

Wonder where these "naturally" dead squirrels come from? "Flat squirrel" from U.S Highway 10?

Road kills in bonnie Scotland - allegedly.

The bunny-huggers are up in arms about the misuse of dead animals.

My reply to them isn't suitable for here, as it involves bodily contortions of an impossible nature. Very Happy

So I am assuming that what you are hinting at Mike is that the bunny huggers do an imitation of the OOSOOLUM Bird....you know the one...it flies in ever diminishing circles till it flies up its own "ought" and disappears. wtf

Cheers, Vince
