Is it art? Is it beer? It’s probably both. The End of History is a new Belgian ale brewed by Scotland’s BrewDog brewery. At 55 percent alcohol, it’s the most potent beer ever created.
BrewDog has made a name for concocting bizarre and groundbreaking beers, but has mainly grabbed headlines for its arms race against other craft breweries for creating high-alcohol-content beers made through a special process that keeps the beer at extremely cold temperatures.
The beers are made for sipping, and come with stoppers, so you can plug and preserve them for later. But if you’re thinking of buying a bottle of The End of History, forget it. The limited edition run of 12 bottles has sold out. (Don’t click the links in this post if you’re squeamish about seeing beer packaging and squirrel taxidermy combined as a form of marketing-based shock-art.)
You can still pick up a bottle of BrewDog’s Tactical Nuclear Penguin or Sink the Bismarck beers, both at more than 30 percent alcohol by volume. As much as we’d love to carry these beers, Juniper customers aren’t fanatical enough to ask for them. (Yet.) So click over to BrewDog for details.
