World's strongest' beer with 32% strength launched

[Unbreakable]

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 an 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.

Im not big on booze, but glad to see stronger beer

 

[cosmic charlie]

I bet it tastes gross as hell

 

[Bardeaux]

Yeah something like that cant taste pleasant. 32% is just..wow

 

[amor fati]

While, I love me a 90-minute IPA, 32% is far, far too much

 

[Cheech73]

Wow that's a strong brewski.. I agree, it can't taste so great

1 beer and you're buzzed to mildly drunk depending on your tolerance. Hilarious, and might I add, fiscally responsible in these trying times.

I find that the more % content the beer has the sweeter(taste) it has, but 15% is the highest I've had I do believe 32% is out of control.can't imagine it tasting good and the after taste would be horrible. Ill still try it tho. Lol

It's £30 a bottle.

I am buzzed on one beer of 5% alcohol. If I drank such an intense one, I would be completely smashed.

It must have bulk liquor added. It is impossible to naturally brew to higher than 19%alc without killing the yeast.

I wonder how many brain cells that kills?

Didn't sam adams hit around 23% for Utopian or utopius... somethin like that.. They selectively bred ninja yeast lol

 

[Carsick]

You only drink beers that strong in tiny amounts, anyway. No different to having a shot of some spirit.

 

[Ant0lak]

Haha i'd give that beer a go

 

[Too many doses]

Sounds like you'd be basically drinking hard liquor out of the bottle with this product. I do love how after they were called irresponsible they made a low alch content beer called "nanny state", classic shit right there rofl :D. Thanks for posting this story OP .

dogfish got a 120 minute IPA thats around 21 % and another one a little higher in alc%

 

[szuko000]

I love there 120 minute IPA. A single 12oz bottle cost me like 10 dollars. I believe your refering to there "World Wide Stout" I havent tried it as im more of an IPA drinker. I believe the most a culture of yeast can survive in is 25% but that could just be some serious yeast.

I will agree with that. I kind of want to try one, or at least buy one for the name. Yeah, I know...

Found this on how they did it.
