Brewdog Creates New "World's Strongest Beer"

Filed under: Spirits

Scottish microbrewery BrewDog has created what it's claiming is the most alcoholic, most expensive beer in the world. It's called "The End of History", and has an alcohol content of 55 percent ABV. Cost: £500 for a bottle. (Their previous world's strongest beer offering, unveiled last year, was called Tactical Nuclear Penguin.)

The name comes from a quote by philosopher Francis Fukuyama, who claimed, "What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such."

The beer, which comes infused with juniper berries and highland nettles, is being produced in a limited run of just 12 bottles. Brewdog achieves the high ABV by freezing the beer down to -70 celsius repeatedly. The water freezes before the alcohol does, and the ice crystals are extracted, concentrating the flavor and the alcohol content.

Last November we learned that a beer named Tactical Nuclear Penguin might be the strongest beer in the world. The beer from Scottish brewery BrewDog had a 32 percent alcohol content. Now the title appears to have been taken by a Germany company who has come up with an even stronger brew.

Schorschbrau has created the Schorschbock 40, a whisky with a 40 percent alcohol by volume rate. The whisky-like brew has gone on sale in Scotland where it sells for £10 a glass. A review on RateBeer decribes the beer as being very strong and intense but with fruity beer notes.

The beer is sold in .33 liter ceramic bottles. Each one is signed and hand-numbered by the braumeister. Bottles are sealed with wax by hand and come in a wooden case with a transparent window on one side.Only around 40 bottles have been made.
