Strongest Beer in the World

A friend just sent me a link to a microbrewery in the UK called BrewDog. They're a fairly recent operation, but have been making waves with some of their products. They came out with an ale which sat at around 18%ABV, which put some people in Britain up in arms. I never understand these people who get upset because if people are going to binge drink, they're not going to do it with expensive beer, but rather with a bottle of cheap liquor which is much more cost effective. Anyways, the boys at BrewDog came up with a response for such criticism and calls for regulation. I heard about this on BBC, but had forgotten to look into the brewery.

Anyways, apparently they have just developed the world's strongest beer. Relying on some history, they've called it "Sink the Bismarck!" It's a quadruple IPA, and comes in at 41%ABV. I'd love to try it, but at 40 pounds a bottle, I think it'll be out of my price range for quite awhile, similar to Sam Adam's Utopias.

Check out their website and keep a lookout for any imports in the States.
