The End of History: Guaranteed the Strangest Beer You'll See All Day

The End of History is the latest ultra-strong beer from the Scottish guys over at Brew Dog. You may remember seeing their Tactical Nuclear Penguin and Sink the Bismark! on TIFR before. Yes, those are real animals impaled by beer bottles. In case you were wondering, they were all made by a taxidermist out of road kill. No animals were harmed, other than their dignity that is. This newest beer comes in at 55% alcohol by volume, and like all the others before it, they recommend drinking in small servings. Before you say: "yeah, whatever I can drink an entire bottle," you should at least know how much it costs. For the mere price of $765 this beer could've been yours if you had ordered it in time. The production run was only 12 bottles, with 11 for sale: 7 stoats and 4 grey squirrels. Each bottle comes with a certificate of authenticity, because that's important.

Sink the Bismark!: Scottish Brewery Makes 41% Quadruple IPA

Tomorrow is the day we get shit-hammered in celebration of the life of a patron saint who nobody really knows anything about. The Scottish gents over at the BrewDog Brewery, the same gents that unleashed Tactical Nuclear Penguin on the world, just re-created the world's strongest beer. Sink the Bismark! is a quadruple IPA, with an alcohol content of 41%! This ABV makes this beer more alcoholic than whiskey or vodka.

This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers  a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts.

Before you get too excited though, you should know this sweet golden nectar isn't cheap. The good folks over at Beer Utopia found out a single 11 oz bottle will run you $61 (or 140 Pabsts Blue Ribbons). Brewdog will ship to the states, but that brings the total cost to $120 (or 240 Miller High Lifes). It looks like I'll be sticking to U.S. Select Beer Taste for my St. Paddy's Day needs.
