The other night I was in the middle of my normal routine, watching Seinfeld reruns while casually beer-bonging Utpoias and Tactical Nuclear Penguin, when a craving for something stronger hit. Sure, there was a day when 20% or 40%-ABV beers were startling, but that’s old news now. Why can’t someone make something really strong? Then I saw this:

Our friends over at Scotland’s BrewDog have done it again, only this time it’s a bit creepier: Over 50%-ABV? Check. Complete with stuffed squirrel? Check.

This limited-run (only 12 bottles made) Belgian-style blond’s infused with highland nettles and juniper berries, and probably burns the throat like a pint of hot magma. Called the End of History, this mega-brew stands as the last extreme-ABV beer BrewDog plans to release. We’ll see.
