The World's Strongest, Most Expensive Beer Served Inside a Squirrel

Posted by samzenpus on from the it-still-beats-toe-drinks dept.

If you have $765 burning a hole in your pocket, and a penchant for drinking alcohol out of a taxidermied animal, the good folks at BrewDog have just the drink for you. Their latest creation, called The End of History, is a 110 proof beer that comes packaged in a variety of small stuffed animals.

    Any moment, PETA will respond to this with some hilarious condemnation of using the carcasses of dead animals in a way that is disrespectful to the formerly living creature.

    Even if it's still technically beer, it isn't going to taste anything like beer. At beer's usually low alcohol content there are lots of subtle flavors that would get completely overwhelmed by the alcohol taste at 110 proof. You might as well just drink grain alcohol, it will probably taste about the same.

    ...any such thing as 110 proof beer.

      Beer is a fermented beverage generally made from grain, perhaps some herbs/flowers/berries to flavor and/or preserve it, water, and yeast. Generally speaking, if you take a beverage like that and distil it, you've created a different kind of beverage; whiskey.

    According to the original article, all of the squirrels and stoats used were roadkill (damn drunk drivers).

    Fuzzy tailed fucking tree rats. Damn things eat all my pecans and walnuts every year. Hate the little bastards. On;y thing they are good for is the stew pot where you can make some mighty fine gravy from their cooked carcasses.
