I can't say that I wouldn't try this ... or at least try to get someone I know to try this.

The Strongest and Most Expensive Beer in the World ... maybe even the Galaxy
This is brilliant. Established in April 2007, the Scottish Brew Dog brewery has set out to completely redefine the craft beer industry in the UK. Well, now they've done it.
Gizmag.com reports: Scottish brewery BrewDog has reclaimed the world record for the strongest beer in history with a 55% alcohol beer which it has named “The End of History.” Only 11 bottles will be available, and each bottle will come inside a stuffed animal – seven Stoats will be available at GBP500 and four grey squirrels at GBP700, making it also the most expensive beer in history.
The beer bottle is literally inside a stuffed animal. I'm hoping they're all animals that were captured on the Brew Dog brewery campus and forced to sacrifice their bodies to the science of better beer making (and drinking) practices.
But, if you're wondering why the Brew Dog clan is so dedicated to creating the highest quality, highest alcohol beer on the market, you can simply blame the Germans.

Their brewing process to get higher ABV is quite logical, yet time consuming and meticulous. Everyone knows that water freezes faster than alcohol. So, here's what these guys do: They freeze their beer. When the water turns to ice, they extract the alcohol and use that for the rest of the brewing process. Oh, and they also dress up like penguins. At least they did when they were creating their Tactical Nuclear Penguin brew, which is 32% ABV.

I can't wait to get my grip on a bottle of one of their brews.

Beer Truck Accident
Normally you see this with chickens in movies. Then there are chickens all over the road. But this beer truck accident is both a tragedy and a comedy. Hopefully no one was hurt.
The aftermath looks like a Sunday morning clean-up in the basement ... only our beer bottles are emptied.
