I've been known to kick back with a beer or three in the eventide when amongst friends. A recent advance in beerological science may make having multiple drinks obsolete, however.
...beer that is repeatedly “freeze distilled” can achieve exquisite qualities and much higher alcohol concentrations...A little more than twelve months, the world's strongest beer was 27%...and the race is now on to break 50% alcohol by volume.
That's insane. It looks like the current frontrunner is some name I can't pronounce (Schorsbräu Schorsbock) at 43%. If anyone gets their hands on one, lemme know how they taste.
The previous record-holder for "most alcoholic beer" was Samuel Adams 'Utopia' beer, which was 25% ABV. And it was $65 per pint. Not that that's especially useful information, but hey, watcha gonna do?
