I don’t even know what to say about this creation. I’m still absorbing the absurdity of the entire invention.
BrewDog is a brewery in Scotland that pushes all the limits of what beer can be. I respect them for that, and I actually met James Watt, one of the founders, at a tasting at ChurchKey in DC recently.
Here’s James Watt, speaking about BrewDog’s latest record-breaking, 55%-alcohol beer:
“The impact of The End of History is a perfect conceptual marriage between taxidermy, art and craft brewing.”
That’s right, taxidermy. Because this here beer isn’t served in a brown paper bag like those 40s you used manhandle in college.
No, this beer is served in what I can only assume is the appropriate “koozie” for such a novel:
A squirrel.
It tastes alcoholic and... furry.
At 500 or 700 GBP, depending on the species, this is one expensive rodent. (As of 7.22.2010, the beer is sold out.)
