Then, put 10 gallons of ale...and a cock into two quarts of sack, and put to it five pounds of raisins of the sun – stoned; some blades of mace, and a few cloves.

"As far away from a fizzy mass-produced lager as you can get"
quipped Brewmaster Martin from Scottish Brew Dog Brewery.
He said it upon completion of “The End of History” a belgian blonde ale spiked with nettles and juniper which, at 55% abv, is now the strongest ‘beer’ in the world. Brewed using the eisbockian brewing method, the starter beer’s water is frozen and removed, leaving the devil himself.
Those at Brew Dog argue that this beer is the logical climax of the modernist pursuit of “extreme” beer. It is sheathed in a wooldland mammal, and is a $1,000 per pop.
I wonder what the weakest beer in the world is, and if its brewers are as jubilant.
