The World's Strongest, Most Expensive Beer Served Inside a Squirrel
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.
So if you drink too much of this do you need to have a few cups of that coffee that can only be extracted after it's been crapped out by monkeys?

I just have to say, my vote for best article title ever. Felt like I was in some sort of slashdot dream seeing that pop up on the ol' RSS.

"Drunk off a skunk" is the closest I wish to come to "drunk as a skunk."
My cat just drank my beer and chewed up the squirrel.
can i buy it without the squirrel?
Ah! For that, you'd want The World's Strongest, Most Expensive Beer Served OUTside a Squirrel.

With the heat and humidity here, that pelt would get wet and nasty pretty quick. It would make the recycling bin look pretty wild also.
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.

Seriously, who uses that kind of meaningless notation anymore?

0 = 1 + e^(Alt something)
So I'm guessing in this case, the cure for a hangover would be the hair of the squirrel that bit you?
Pound! Bang! Bin! Bash! is this a shell script or a Batman comic?
Or at least re-doing the acronym.
First it was "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals"
Next came "People Eating Tasty Animals"
Now it's "Preserved Ethanol Tankard Animals"

Is the moose included with the squirrel or is that an additional fee?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
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.
700 pounds? That's a big fucking squirrel! Which makes that $1068.14 price tag seem not quite so bad...

I've had squirrel dumplings a few times, it is decent. Growing up, my dad (country boy turned retired military turned oil geologist) make sure we tried everything: rabbit, turtle, squirrel, and lots and lots of deer and fish. I still fish and clean and fry/bake my own. Don't hunt because I don't care for it, but there is something to the idea that if you are going to eat animals, you should be willing to actually obtain, clean and prepare them yourself at least once in a while. If someone can't handle that, then perhaps they should go vegetarian. Store bought meat is just hiring someone else to do your dirty work, which is fine as long as you don't pretend it wasn't an animal previously.
