The drink of Linux Users? Tactical Nuclear Penguin! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/8380412.stm 32% :shock: I need to try it, just to say I have. I don't think I could manage an entire bottle though...
You have to love the idiocy of some of these people. Sure I could argue, I want to know why a producer doesn't make a whisky as weak as ordinary beer? What a facile and irrelevant comment to make.... But yes, BrewDog win. I don't care for their IPA but at least they are trying something new!
I love this bit from the label: Just how aristocratic, and how nochalant? Lets just say you might need to wear a monocle.
Brew Dog make some awesome beers, and the guys that run it are hilarious I pick up a few bottles whenever I see their stuff in Tesco
How cool is this? Yeah, I know it might seem a little unhealthy, but this is Scotland... it will help to wash down those deep-fried pizzas. I think I like the name more than anything else.
I find this rather funny, becuase my Biology coursework is about the respiration rates of yeast, and working out how higher a concentration it can work in, and so far, its about 35% I.e. this is just about the strongest non-distilled beverage you can get
Chaos Theory is my drink of choice from Brewdog, but I might try and pick a bottle of this stuff up to enjoy over christmas. One thing puzzles me though, being an ale, once you have opened it wont you kind of have to drink all 330ml? I guess thats not a problem with some crappy whiskey/vodka/rum etc that you don't mind drinking lots of at once, but something you want to savour?
Aren't they the brewers that coat their beer labels in lame "**** the system" messages of being nonconformist brewers? rep++ for making mad beer, rep-- for gayness.
Pretty much. I'm guessing the most sensible way of drinking it would be one bottle, in whisky measures with a bunch of mates. That way you get to try it, it doesn't get wasted, and, more importantly, neither do you.
I'd actually want to try that - I'm always up for something a little different as far as beer goes. From the downright evil, to the most awesome brews I can get my mitts on... Strength wise, I wouldn't have thought it would hit you much worse than a large bottle of wine (twice the vol, half the percentage roughly)
Best (and strongest) beer I ever bought a bottle of was this: Samichlaus Beer Tasted like bonfire toffee, cost a ****ing fortune. Totally worth it though.
I like these guys, tempted to take a trip up to their brewery sometime. I did really love the "Nanny State" beer, just for the statement.
Because the brewing process that creates the fine taste of whisky produces a strong alcoholic content; this has to be reduced at least twice during production to acquire its distinctive taste. Making a beer with a 32% ABV is a complete marketing exercise; it would completely destroy the taste of the underlying hops and barley. Pretty stupid idea really.
