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.

    If they go bad will the squirrels turn into Skunks?

    The fact that animals are being killed and stuffed not for consumption but to gaudily decorate a beer bottle, does kind of validate PETA's point, doesn't it. I don't support PETA the organization or their methods, but I do share their concern about how animals are used. It's one thing to raise an animal for consumption, and quite another to shoot and stuff a squirrel in order to use it as packaging.

  3. Why the stuffed animals by SnarfQuest · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why do they need to include the stuffed animals. Just drink enough of this beer, and you will see all sorts of things without having to pay the outrageous price.

    And, what do you do with all the embalmed animals once you have drained them? You're drunk, there's a bunch of other drunk guys with you, there's a pile of fuzzy dead animals laying around. It all sounds like a perfect setting for something that's going to show up on COPS.

    Of course there could. But it would have to be 62.9% alcohol. The beer in the article, at 55% alcohol, is 96.25% proof, not the 110 quoted.

      Ah. It being a Scottish beer, brewed not far from me in fact, I was using the British notation - I didn't realise there were any others.

      If you read on where the 'proof' system came from, you'll quickly see that the american one is, in fact, nonsense, but I suppose that that's a debate for another day.
