New World's Strongest Brew Two breweries that competed in a decade-long rivalry to create increasingly strong beers said they have now worked together and created the world’s strongest beer.The 57.8% ABV beer sold out in less than a day. The Scottish brewer BrewDog, said the company worked with German brewer Schorschbräu to create the beer, named Strength in Numbers The Scots’ contribution to the project was a barrel of their 26% ABV beer Death or Glory, which they aged in a Scotch whisky cask for 10 years. They sent it to Schorschbräu in Germany, but then coronavirus travel restrictions prevented them from traveling along with it. So they worked with the German brewers over Zoom.The beer was released in the U. K. Thursday priced at 29 British pounds per bottle – about $37.50 – and sold out the same day. |
| No It's Not Wait - don't bank on the article to the left as being totally true. There is another brewery that claims to have created the world’s strongest beer. Brewmeister, another Scottish brewer, has its Snake Venom which is 67.5% ABV. The drink is so strong that it’s not even carbonated. But some in the brewing community argue that Snake Venom is not technically "beer" because the company allegedly adds ethyl alcohol to it as part of its unusual brewing process, The hyper-strong beers are created through a process called “fractional freezing” which is used to create Eisbock beers, according to the report. The beer is chilled to a temperature that freezes the water but not the alcohol. BeerNexus goes with Snake Venom |

| Beer House A unique home has hit the market in South Florida with a design aesthetic that reads part condo, part college frat house.The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo boasts 815 square feet of space and is covered nearly floor-to-ceiling with Budweiser cans. Photos of the home, which is listed by Kristin Adams-Kearney with Kearney & Associates Realty, show a quaint living room, which flows into the dining room and a galley kitchen – all of which boast walls and ceilings entirely of stacked cans of Bud. Apparently there are only two locations with can-free walls, and those are the bathrooms. Though the home decorating is up to the new owner – the property recently went into escrow – Budweiser, feeling protective of the intricate display, is offering a deal that would make any beer lover (and probably permanent bachelor) smile. The beer brand is offering to stock the fridge in the "House of Budweiser" with Budweiser beer as long as the owners “don’t renovate.” The home was listed for $100,000 and was purchased “following a bidding war,” a spokesperson for Budweiser told Fox News.According to the beer brand, the new owner has yet to respond to the “generous offer.”The original home was designed by U.S. Navy Veteran Michael Amelotte. He started the beer can project in 1990, four years after he moved into the home.“It took him 16 years to consume enough beverages and finish this project,” the Facebook post from Kearney & Associates Realty reads. “This was a labor of love with extreme attention to detail as he painstakingly covered all of the walls and ceilings.” “He even created crown molding and use different sizes of cans to accommodate electrical outlets and the A/C vents,” the post adds. |
