Wow, didn't think you could get beer alcohol content that high without fortifying/distilling which doesn't make it beer anymore? I wouldn't pay ?500 but maybe a few quid for beer bottle covers that looked like that but then again i am a bit perverse lol. -
That's an oddly lowbrow approach to high-end beer. I'm just trying to figure out who their market is.Comment

I knew before I even clicked on the link that this was going to be a BrewDog publicity stunt.
They are the brewing world's equivalent of New Labour - all style, no substance, usually offensive...
PS. I also understand, as jibjob, that you cannot make beer at 55%, you'd have to distill it. Making it virtually as akin to whisky as beer...Comment

They also have a 41% beer called "Sink the Bismark" @ ?40 a bottle, but only by mailorder!
Like Simon, I don't see the point unless you're very young, of course!
"Had a bottle of that "Sink the Bismark" last night"
"Was it any good?"
"Canny remember, so it musta been good!"No man has the right to fix the boundary of a nation.
No man has the right to say to his country, "Thus far shalt thou go and no further."

I came across a bottle by BrewDog in Stanley on the Falklands of all places. It was the Tactical Nuclear Penguin. Was tempted but couldn't justify paying about ?40 for 1 bottle. They had all of BrewDog's 'regular' beers in West Store too. Strange what you find that far away from home!My photoblog: http://chrisclarkphoto.blogspot.com/

Sounds like its for people with more money than sense but it would be nice to try beer thats stonger than most spirts! if only i had the money i would'nt care if i had no sence!!!Comment

My first response, wow, quickly gave way to the thought of drinking the beer from the bottle and how disgusting it would be to kiss the lips of roadkill each time I take a sip. Not a well-thought-out marketing gimmick IMO.Business in the front. Party in the back.

Well I think the issue is that with 'standard' brewers yeast (thinking back to my home brew days) the yeast cultures can't survive in alcohol much above 12%, however much sugar you throw in to the mix (although a high strength barley wine can be around 14%). Reading up on it apparently if you use champagne yeast you can hit around 20%. Anything above that is not a normal or natural fermentation process (I have heard the term freeze-distilling used, but don't understand what it means). Either way, I doubt this beer would be very drinkable at the strength, quite apart from the tasteless packaging..."The socialism I believe in is everyone working for each other, everyone having a share of the rewards. It's the way I see football, the way I see life"

When i was staying in Aberdeen last year, I was a frequent in a Wee rock bar called 'The Moorings' Cracking wee pub it is (if your ever in 'Deen, check it out. Its on virginia street at the boats. You will know what i mean if your ever in deen)
Anyway back to the point. It is where i first tried a bottle of BrewDog. Its actually kinda like Becks, you know just their run of the mill stuff.
Its awright man but it was about ?4 a bottle, sod that lol.Comment

It's a load of publicity bollocks!
It's for people who say "weeeuuurrgg, guess wot drunk last night. I had 10 pints , didn't bovver me"
Wankers.
Er...in my humble opinion.Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.Comment

I don't get it. What connects roadkill to beer? How will surrounding the beer in roadkill make it better? I could do exactly the same by force-feeding a squirrel a bottle of Becks and it would still taste like crap
I'm still waiting for the whiskey to whisk me away
And I'm still waiting for the ashtray to lead me astray
