55% alcohol, comes packaged inside a taxidermied rodent. It costs £500 (about $760) per bottle and is called The End of History. The video implies they were testing it heavily.

Linky!

Ok, BrewDog has officially gone over the top. The 32% Tactical Nuclear Penguin was strike one (cool name, at least), the 40% Sink the Bismarck was strike two, and this one is game freaking over. It kinda cheapens what craft beer brewers do. They are pushing envelopes simply for the sake of doing so.

This from someone who not two weeks ago spent $40 for two bottles of beer.

Oh, and I bet it doesn't taste all that good either.

In reply to Twin_Cam:

It can't be better than Troegs, that's for sure.

BTW, I had the Troegenator the other night on tap, and it was AMAZING!!!!!

Theyre cheating anyway, freezing the water out. 3 Bottles of Worldwide stout will run you about $30

i call shenanigans. where is the "line" of what's OK, and who gets to decide that? crack pipe prices and weird bottle dressings aside, what's wrong with pushing envelopes, and what's wrong with trying what some consider to be wacky E36 M3?

get in line, my good chap. for a bottle that dashing i'll even overlook that it's undoubtedly been handled by Scots.

It is 100% absurd. Which is great. I'm all for this. If it were affordable, I might even try it.

Why did they do it:

1: Because they could.

2: To beat the Germans.

Both are excellent reasons.

So what do you do with the bottle after you drink the beer? Put it in the recycle bin?

I would rather have a couple bottles of blue label. That thing creeps me out. How do you know the mouth of that bottle wasn't covered in chipmunk guts or whatever.

Hah, that's awesome.

Don't know about this picture, though. Looks like cheap cigarettes in that ashtray, when I would expect fine cigars!

As an aside, anyone with a passing interest in beer should check out the BBC series 'Oz and James Drink to Britain'. It's Oz Clarke and James May traversing the Island in an old Rolls' towing a cheap Caravan, sampling beer along the way.

You're too drunk to remember that there was a bottle. Read the article again. That's 110 proof. BEER.

I'd use it as an everyday drinking glass but its clearly not dishwasher safe and I am far too lazy to shampoo a dead squirrel every day.

The bottle has a fur coat to keep the cold in on hot days, it isn't like one of those tacky neoprene things with a zipper on it, this is classy like a beaver coat

You could branch out to the bass fisherman crowd and wrap a trout around a bottle.
