Brew Wars, World's Strongest Beer

In recent months there has been an all-out-war between two breweries trying to make/market/sell the world's strongest beer. And it comes as no surprise to readers who's side I am on...BrewDog!!!

Here's the short and sweet of it (with videos to fill in the gaps):

1. German brewer Schorschbrau made a beer at 31% alcohol...strongest in the world.
2. Scottish craft beer BrewDog takes that as a challenge and swiftly produces Tactical Nuclear Penguin at 32%.

3. Schorschbrau responds by pumping out a batch of 39.44% and takes it to market labeling it as 40%...which is a bit of an overstatement in the ABV game.



4. BrewDog grits its teeth and produces a 41% called Sink The Bismark that hits the beer world with surprisingly great reviews. This beer rocks.

For what its worth...I love BrewDog and everything they stand for. I welcome Sink The Bismark into my life eagerly and you should too. Do it. Find it. Drink it.
