Thanks to a war between European brewing companies, it's never been easier to catch a healthy beer buzz. Or get yourself totally sloshed. In November BrewDog, a Scottish microbrewery started three years ago, released a new brand, dubbed Tactical Nuclear Penguin. The beer set a new record by weighing in at a scary 32% alcohol-by-volume, over six times the strength of familiar domestic brands like Budweiser.
...Jim Watt, one of BrewDog's co-founders, says that some 400 bottles of Tactical Nuclear Penguin are in the process of being shipped to a few stores in California and New York City, including a Whole Foods location; about half of the consumers buying beer from the BrewDog website are from the U.S. Watt's eyes are clearly fixed on the American market. "We're keen to push the envelope," says Jim Watt, one of BrewDog's co-founders, "and challenge people's perceptions of how beer can be enjoyed."

Catchy name. : D
Awesome!!
64 proof beer will go over well with the college crowd.
Unfortunately, normal brewing processes limit alcohol content to 14 percent by volume. Plus this stuff ain’t cheap. Boston Beer Co. (maker of Sam Adams) makes a 27 percent brew called Utopias that goes for $150 a bottle. Dogfish Head also makes a 27 percent beer, but no idea what they want for it.
” six times the strength of familiar domestic brands like Budweiser.”
Budweiser is NOT BEER!
32%? Jeez. You might as well just hook up an alcohol IV drip.
Meh—looks/tastes more like cognac, from what I’m told. And who can afford $150 a bottle in this O-conomy?
Wonder what it tastes like. My recent preferred beer, aside from homebrew, is anything Harpoon. More flavorful than Sam Adams, not as pricey as Dog Fish Head. IMHO.
Getta beeeer, dump in some vodka, poooooof! High octaragnie beeer...(burp) - sreeel gggood to!
Haggis.
An understatement!
Scotland's single malt whiskey's are also fantastic.
” Tactical Nuclear Penguin costs about $53 bucks a bottle...”
....oh yeah, that’s gonna go over real big in a time of high unemployment.
Yikes. A regular Sam Adams and shot of Maker's Mark will do the same thing for $10.
Real men drink Coors.
Well, going by the name it could be anywhere from penguin p1$$ to radium. ; )
Seriously, I bet it's great.....in low volume consumption.
I bet it takes some doing to freeze it too.
Yes. Gordon Brown.

“Getta beer, dump in some vodka...”
I say “ERRRRRRRRRPP!!!” to that!
