Just the one pint will do
For those of you thinking Stella is a drink for wimps and don't want to be seen drinking wine there is now an alternative.

We have today, Thursday 26 November 2009, set a new world record after creating the strongest beer in the world. Weighing in at an ABV of 32%, BrewDog’s ‘Tactical Nuclear Penguin’ beats the previous record of 31% held by German beer brand Schorschbraer.

Whilst a fan of strong beers I can't help but thinking it'll taste like stout with a shot of whisky in it.

It is about achieving something which has never before been done and putting Scotland firmly on the map for progressive, craft beers.
|
Scotland is on more than enough alcohol-related maps already, I would have thought.

I suppose so. That said the Brewdog stuff is a million miles away from the buckie drinking, tracksuit clad neds who would quite happily drink meths as long as it got them out their faces.

Re: Just the one pint will do
Yes, as a limited edition direct from the brewer ... about £30 a bottle, I think.

Re: Just the one pint will do
Hmmm, not sure where I stand on this. As a record breaking attempt I suppose it's OK. However for me the joy of beer, real ales in my case, is to enjoy a fine pint, or 2!, in good company in a traditional English pub.

32% Alcohol Beer on sale
...And it'll cost you £55 per bottle.
If you fancy a beer at home before going out, best avoid Tactical Nuclear Penguin – at 32 per cent it could send you to sleep instead.
