Worlds strongest beer. It is a bit pricey though ... and wow those 'bottles'

BrewDog drew criticism last year over the launch of a 32 percent beer, which was later trumped by a German brewery that produced a 40 percent strength liquor -- BrewDog then created Sink The Bismark, at 41 percent.

I heard about this brewery a while back. Does it still qualify as a beer when it's been concentrated so much, or is it more of a whiskey?

I had an uncle who would make apple cider from his trees. He'd leave a couple barrels out to freeze in the winter, skim the ice, and repeat. Sadly, I never got a chance to taste it.

I think it's the fizzy part that makes it beer. Or else it's a very dark champagne.

Beer that strong sounds about as appealing as this

Port wine is only ~20%, and it has brandy added to it.

Dunno how you get to 50% with simple fermentation, usually the trouble is the alcohol starts bumping off the critters doing the fermentation.

Nevermind, I see that they indeed use the freeze, then skim ice method.

A 110 proof beer, the world’s strongest, was launched Thursday by a British firm selling the tipple for $762 a bottle.

Your never see it on sale in pubs here, one whiff and your drunk, not a good way to make money.

I'm with the others I dont think this is tecnically actually beer.

I do believe that distilling through whatever method is not an acceptable method for producing beer / ale.

It would be more correctly classified as 'spirits'.

Malt Liquor ?

AFAIK that term was 'invented' to be able to sell beer above the legal limit of alchohal. It was basically strong beer but still beer/ale.

Since then the laws have been changed to cater to the craft brewery crowd.
