World's strongest beer goes on sale at £55 a bottle ... and is so powerful just ONE GULP will put you over the drink-drive limit
A beer so powerful just one gulp would push you over the drink-drive limit has gone on sale.
Sink The Bismarck is believed to be the strongest beer in the world with a 41 per cent alcohol content. Brewed by Scottish firm BrewDog it costs £55 for a 330ml bottle.
The drink, which works out as £95 per pint, has four times as many hops than ordinary beers, say its makers.
The beer is supposed to be drunk in small quantities because it is so strong and has been designed with a screw top so it can be resealed.

It sounds interesting (although it's old, like at least a year old, cheers Daily Mail) but at that price it's just a money-making ploy to take money of rich folk who want to try something unique, innit?
Imagine getting it for a girl...no more roofies needed!
"Yeah it's regular beer..:rolleyes:"
It is probably brewed to around 22% with super yeasts and then frozen and 'shocked' - get a liquid down to 0c and while it is still a liquid, give it a physical shock and ice crystals form very rapidly in the drink, meaning the water does not lock in any of the goodness in the ice. This slush will then be removed from the liquid.
It is still tecnically a beer as since it was brewed it has had nothing added to fortify it, however, I would more class it as a barley wine.
