Title: But officer I only had 2 beers! Post by: Furiously on September 09, 2005, 12:32:00 PM Quote BERLIN (Reuters) - A German brewer has concocted what he says is the world's strongest beer, a potent drink with an alcohol content of 25.4 percent that is served in a shot glass. "Everyone who has tried it is enthusiastic. It tastes like a quirky mixture of beer and sherry," said Bavarian brewer Harald Schneider. Schneider, who lives in southern Germany where beer is a tradition, said his beer fermented for 12 weeks for an alcohol content twice that of Germany's other strongest beers. "People will only be able to drink two or three glasses, otherwise they'll drop like flies," he said. Schneider expects the holders of the world's strongest beer, the Boston Beer Company, to put up a fight. "I'm pretty sure the Americans have something up their sleeve." Yea - its called Everclear beer. Title: Re: But officer I only had 2 beers!

Screw alcohol content, I go for flavor...and I actually want as little alcohol as possible in my beer, so I can drink a ton of it, last all night. If I want to get drunk, I'll drink shots and chase with the beer. Newblers. Title: Re: But officer I only had 2 beers!

I've only fermented up to about 11.5% ABV myself, but I never used this stuff. |
