As with many brews before, the irreverent lads at Brewdog Brewery in Scotland have come up aces with another winning brew.
This one is called Tactical Nuclear Penguin and comes in at a whopping 32% ABV. That's thirty-two percent.

Here's a link to their product blog posting: http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article.php?id=214
As far as I can tell, it was originally fermented as an Imperial Stout, albeit a strong one, which was then aged in wooden casks for around a year and a half to give it depth, mellowness and smoothness. Then, by freezing to remove more of the water content, the alcohol level was raised to the mighty 32% giving it the title of World's Strongest Beer.
First batch is already sold out but there is more on the way. Oh - and it's thirty-five pounds a bottle. Not a session beer at all.
Good on you fellas!
