Craig 6700 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 32%!!!! 'World's strongest' beer with 32% strength launched A controversial Scottish brewery has launched what it described as the world's strongest beer - with a 32% alcohol content. Tactical Nuclear Penguin has been unveiled by BrewDog of Fraserburgh. BrewDog was previously branded irresponsible for a 18.2% beer called Tokyo, which it then followed with a low alcohol beer called Nanny State. Managing director James Watt said a limited supply of Tactical Nuclear Penguin would be sold for £30 each. He said: "This beer is about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level." Mr Watt added that a beer such as Tactical Nuclear Penguin should be drunk in "spirit sized measures". A warning on the label states: "This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost." However Jack Law, of Alcohol Focus Scotland, described it was a "cynical marketing ploy" and said: "We want to know why a brewer would produce a beer almost as strong as whisky." The beer has been launched on the day alcohol was at the top of the political agenda with the unveiling of the Scottish government's Alcohol Bill including proposals for minimum pricing on drink. Meanwhile, BrewDog's plans for a new headquarters to producing millions of bottles of beer a year have been approved by Aberdeenshire Council. The decision was taken at a full council meeting despite having been recommended for refusal by officers because the site at Potterton, near Aberdeen, is in the green belt.

Or why distillers produce whisky as strong as whisky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22001 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I thought beer had to be fermented rather than distilled? So technically this can't be beer can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 The Newcastle Arms sell Tokyo (or did). A lad I go to the match with had a half of it before the game one time. Fucking vile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 And that's the thing. All very well making this beer, but I but it tastes worse than eating a burnt marmite factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 All the brew dog stuff I've tried has been rank. Their gimmicky beers and graphics don't really make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
