BrewDog Beer Introduces World's Strongest Beer


BrewDog Beer, UK's leader in brewing, introduced the world's strongest beer. The brew is 32% alcohol/volume. The beer, appropriately named Tactical Nuclear Penguin sells for £35 a bottle in the UK. BrewDog describes the beer as a "double cask matured uber-imperial stout."They ship internationally as well. Heck, if you're willing to pay £35 for a bottle, I'm sure you can afford the shipping. The label reads:

This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost.


It's available for purchase on their website. [BrewDog]

Of course they had to have penguin sex.

POTD: USS Enterprise


Here's another way to recycle cardboard and beer cans, make your dog a halloween costume of the USS Enterprise. [SciFiWire]

Can Cars


If you want to get creative with your canned drinks, turn your can into a car like Sandy did.

I have always religiously recycled but often spent time looking at the graphics on the can and looking at the shape of the bottom thinking "That could make a really cool wheel". After having an accident which left me with some time to use, I decided to put pencil to paper and try and make a racing car using the bottoms of cans as its wheels, and the graphics as the decoration for the body.

Landon Donovan Gets Piss/Vomit/Beer Concoction Thrown on Him and Now Has Swine Flu


During the soccer match between USA and Mexico some classy fans thought it would be hilarious to throw a couple of cups of beer/vomit/urine at America's Landon Donovan while he was taking a corner kick. You can see the two cups airborne in the picture along with the riot police trying to keep things calm.

“The man with the tri-colored mohawk took a swig of beer, stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited the mixture back into his cup. In the next seat another man, who was wearing a T-shirt with a cartoon drawing of the decapitated heads of Barack Obama and Landon Donovan, poured out what remained of the Corona beer he had been chugging and urinated into his cardboard drinks container.

Then, according to a neutral bystander who witnessed these disgusting acts, the pair stood on their seats, high-fived and hurled their vile concoctions in the direction of Donovan, the United States men’s national team star who was preparing to take a corner kick 15 yards away.”

If things were not bad enough, the American soccer star (oxymoron?) now has H1N1, also known as swine flu. I'm sure he isn't looking forward to going back to Mexico any time soon. [Yahoo!]

RE: Guinness Celebrates 250 Years With a New Stout


2009 marks Guinness' 250th Anniversary and to celebrate, the 1759 society is launching a Special Edition Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout on April 24.

We couldn't be prouder of this stout. Using a unique brewhouse process that combines the use of stout and ale malt, it's a distinctive carbonated stout with a clean, smooth finish. This is especially exciting, as we haven't introduced a new stout to the US since 1967, when we first started importing Guinness® Draught.

The Stout is a limited edition so pick it up while you can!

Thanks for 250 years of Guinness goodness! [Guinness]
