Strongest Beer in the World. Served in a Dead Squirrel.

Utilizing road kill is a tricky subject. We've seen recycled squirrel decanters before, and even had discussions on whether eating roadkill is vegan or veganish. The result was always heated debate. Now a crew of rogue Scottish brewers will surely add fuel to the fire, serving their record breaking 55% beer in dead squirrels and stoats. But you'll never guess the price tag. (Nor believe the rather unlikely story about why it's being done.)Scottish brewers BrewDog were already well known for pushing boundaries. Having previously brewed the 32% Tactical Nuclear Penguin and the 41% Sink the Bismarck!, the crew decided to break records once again with the 55% concoction known as The End of History.

But as the BBC reports, not content with pushing alcohol boundaries, BrewDog decided to push taste boundaries too—serving their beer in taxidermied squirrels and stoats (reportedly roadkill). The result has been some controversy, with a group called Advocates for Animals describing the project as "pointless and [...] very negative", and Alcohol Focus Scotland warning that their focus on high alcohol beers sends out the wrong message about drinking responsibly. (Presumably the group is also opposed to whiskey.)

What I do find crazy is the price tag on one of these beers—a bottle (or squirrel?) of which will set you back 500GBP (about US$750)!

I'll give it a try if you are buying.

I have to imagine these high proof beers taste like dog shite.

I doubt it's actually "beer"... it's probably more of a distilled spirit. Yeast can't survive in that high of an alcoholic environment.

Most bourbons and vodka's are 40%. Knob Creek, which is my boo, is 50%.
This beer is 55%.
And served in a dead squirrel.
And costs $750.
No thanks

I think they use yeast to get it to the 15-20% range, then freeze distill to remove the water and concentrate the alcohol until it's where they want it.

I agree. Not sure how you could have 110 proof beer.
