'World's strongest ale' comes in eye-catching dead animal bottles

http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/835859-worlds-strongest-ale-comes-in-dead-animal-bottles

 

So if you freeze beer, the alcohol seperates out? Have to give that a try.
Course a 12 oz. can of MGD, at 5%, would yield on .6 oz.

Then I'd have to go and find a dead mouse.

 

A few wallets would have been hurt in the making of THAT beer
at 500 a bottle

At least the neck isnt comming out the other end

 

Yeah they show them the bottle and say 'Guess where this is going!' :-D

 

The whole idea is just plain sick.

 

They probably store the barrels inside a lama,brewed and aged for 10 years inside a blue whales skull.:-D

I'd like to take bottle to a PETA meeting just for kicks

Peta member - We've just organised breakout of our brothers and sisters living in captivity in the zoo

Rikky - Ale anyone?

See, this is why we forgive you all your bad jokes and lame semi-sexist slurs... because every once in a while you produce a gem like that. LOL

(Note for the members of our audience too stupid to understand sarcasm: Rikky is not actually a sexist. He just has a strange sense of humor )

 

LOL Rikky, don't you mean PDTA (People Drinking Tasty Ale)? You can't eat those critters, and People Eating Tasty Animals would probably expect a stew for those critters. :-D

I have had some 9% and I think some 11% beer, but 55%, at that price... Don't think so. We have a wonderful thing called Whiskey. Irish, Scotch, American... And a nice bottle is a whole lot cheaper.

They would have a hell of a time selling that around here. If it is over 5.5% (I think), it must be called Malt Liquor, at that proof, not sure how it would be classified tax wise. :confused Yeah, they base part of the tax on the proof...

 

Not to mention the contents are much tastier.... :wine <- 18-year old Glenlivet in glass

 

Nice Mimsy, I have had some 16 year old Tomintoul. Love Scotch, but my taste have outpaced my income in that regard... Sheep Dip is a nice affordable one if you see it.

 

I've sen Sheep Dip in the local stores, I'll have to try it out. Is it smokey, peat-ish, sharp...?

The Glenlivet was a surprise gift from The Guy a couple of weeks ago, I usually won't spend that much on a scotch myself. The whole cost vs income issue...

 

Sheep Dip is very smooth to me. Not a whole lot of peat or smoke, but it has some. To me it is a great deal for the $. I usually just buy scotch when we get closeout deals... Can't afford what I like at full price. :-D I will be getting a bottle of Sheep Dip soon.

Just been too hot around here for Scotch. I have a Jon Mark and Robo Spicy Scotch I am waiting to try when it cools off, or I get in the mood for Scotch. :cool

 

Strange how i haven't replied in this thread yet being an avid beer drinker. Like Fred, I've had the %11 and actually very tasty, but puts one on their butt. %55 is just insane and at that price, you can forget it.

Ya on the expensive Scotch here too.:cry I want to try a Canadian malt beverage(can't call it Scotch) but @ $83 for an 8 year old 750ml bottle, I don't know. I have heard good things about it though. Glen Breton Rare

 

I posted a reply to this in Nedlamars birthday thread somehow mimsy you'll have to go here post 55 :-D

I figure out this forum thing one day...

 

Yikes Augie, that is some steep $ for a 750ml. I think the Sheep Dip is in the low $20's. As hot as it has been lately, I would rather have a cold beer, nice Martini, or some white wine. Will be looking more at Scotch this fall. :cool

 

That's so wrong I don't know what to say, except roflmao Rikky

 

Smooth definitely works. When done well and it's actually rich and complex with smoothness, and not just lack of flavors trying to act like smoothness, it's outstanding. Like a Bowmore...

I saw that post! At first I was a bit surprised that my quotes had moved into a different thread, but I quickly realized that my outstanding forum super-powers must have made my words move to a new thread so that more would see them. Which of course made perfect sense.

 

I know how you feel Mimsy. Sometimes my posts are so good, I click on 'edit' and my mad super skills decide I should quote myself. :-D

 

And why not? If you said something wise and insightful, it should be quoted for good measure, right?

 

Well yeah, but the 'Mods' get picky sometimes. :-D No offense to the Mods, you are probably too busy to understand the greatness. roflmao

 

It ain't the strongest ale in the world anymore.

There's a new one on the market:

60% or 120 proof. Cheers!! :yum
