BrewDog, the Scottish brewing company, is known for brewing extreme beer. Earlier this year they released Sink the Bismarck!, a beer with 41% alcohol by volume. Not content with that milestone, they’ve apparently created a beer that is 55% alcohol by volume which they’re billing as the world’s strongest beer. Only 12 bottles of the End of History Ale have been made, but that’s not where the weirdness ends. No, the bottles are covered in the preserved carcasses of dead animals.
I’m all for pushing the envelope, even if it’s something I wouldn’t drink, but I am scratching my head over the dead animal packaging. None of the animals were killed for this, and a taxidermist worked on them, but it still is just bizarre and, frankly, to me, not something I’d want near my beer, let alone around it.
