The race for the World’s Strongest Beer has gotten carried away, and it looks like at least one brewery in the competition finally gets it. BrewDog has once again put out the latest pacesetter, but has stated that this will be their final foray into pushing the limits of alcohol content. BrewDog The End of [...]
No sooner had BrewDog recaptured the World’s Strongest Beer title with their BrewDog Sink The Bismarck, a 41% ABV quadruple IPA, that brewery Kleinbrauerei Schorschbräu countered with Schorschbräu Schorschbock 43%. Like 31% and 40%, this beer is an eisbock, and Schorschbräu is even toying with the idea of brewing a 50% bock! 43% will have [...]
No sooner had Schorschbräu Schorschbock 40% claimed the title of World’s Strongest Beer, that BrewDog upped the ante once more. The Scottish brewery has launched BrewDog Sink the Bismarck (BrewDog Ltd.; Fraserburgh, Scotland (UK); Imperial India Pale Ale; ABV: 41.0), a quadruple IPA with an alcohol content of 41%! An IPA that’s twice the strength [...]
At a certain point, you begin to wonder what constitutes a beer. The strongest beer that I’ve had, that still tasted like a beer, was Dogfish 120 Minute IPA (Dogfish Head Craft Brewery; Milton, DE; Imperial India Pale Ale; ABV: 21.0). Albeit it was like their 90 Minute IPA on steroids. Prior to ordering Tactical [...]
You’ve got to hand it to the Scots. The land that brought us bagpipes, golf, Scotch whiskey, and 007 can now lay claim to brewing the world’s strongest beer. Tactical Nuclear Penguin (BrewDog Ltd.; Fraserburgh, Scotland (UK); Imperial Stout; ABV: 32.0) is the latest creation from BrewDog, and at 32% ABV, it has surpassed Germany’s [...]
The Internet is truly a wonderful thing. The world is literally at your fingertips, and there are lots of interesting things to see…and buy. Like beer, especially when they’re hard to find or not distributed in your area. I decided to take advantage of this option when I ordered a bottle of Samuel Adams Utopias [...]
Marzens tend to be traditional Fall beers, but I had the chance to try a different take on this beer style at Crum’s Bar and Grill recently. Cigar City Marzen Spring Lager (Cigar City Brewing; Tampa, FL; Marzen; ABV: 5.5) is also known as Cigar City Oktoberfest Marzen when it’s released during the autumn months. [...]
You can add Crum’s Bar and Grill to a growing list of exceptional brewpubs in the Tampa Bay area. Located in downtown St. Petersburg, and owned by Chris Crum and Lanette Miller, Crum’s Bar and Grill offers craft beer, food, and live music in a hip casual setting. Speaking of which, there’s 52 selections of [...]
The last time I was at the Cigar City Brewing Tasting Room in Tampa, I learned something new. Did you know that bats pollinate blue agave plants, which provide the ingredient found in tequila? So it’s fitting that I tried a double cream ale, named for the bat, that’s aged in tequila barrels. Cigar City [...]
