MSNBC says: 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
We drank a lot of beer in Scotland but somehow missed this one. Mmmm, roadkill!
