I guess marketing is out of ideas...

You'd expect a lot from a bottle of beer costing $765. What you get is 55 percent alcohol — and served in a squirrel.

According to Scottish firm BrewDog, "The End of History" is the "strongest, most expensive and most shocking beer in the world."

Just 12 bottles were made and the company has already sold out. They will be shipped out to buyers in the United States, Canada, Italy, Denmark, Scotland and England next week.

The dead animals which were used to create the beers' unusual appearance were four squirrels, seven weasels and a hare. All were roadkill, James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, told msnbc.com.

The name of the blond Belgian ale is taken from the title of a book by philosopher Francis Fukuyama, "The End of History and the Last Man" which the company said had been chosen to imply "this is to beer what democracy is to history."

Watt said the beer should be treated with care when drinking.

"It tastes more like a whisky and you have got to handle it in that way as opposed to the way you would handle a normal beer," he told msnbc.com.

The beer part has to be BS. There is no way yeast can survive in an alcohol environment that high.
It’s either a spirit or a liquor but not a beer.
I do like the bottles. One would look great sitting above my desk. Now which mile marker did I see that skunk at.:think:

They should have hinged it at the hip so you only have to tip the bottle

Seriously. They are up to som funny business. There's no way they'd get 110proof without some type of distilation.

How do you load a beer bottle in the squirrel?
Must be an ass loader.

I'm guessing up the butt as well, after all that squirrel is making the same expression I make whenever I get a prostrate exam...

That's funny.
The squirrel's eyes probably bulges a little more than yours when the bottle gets inserted.
