Jul 22 2010Now That's Classy: World's Most Expensive Beer Comes In Taxidermied Animal Koozies
BrewDog, the Scottish brewery best known for its 32% ABV (alcohol by volume) Tactical Nuclear Penguin beer, is back at it with another beer that not only shatters their previous alcohol content record, but also claims the title of most expensive brew. Introducing 'The End of History', a 55% ABV beer that costs $765 per 12oz bottle AND COMES IN ITS OWN TAXIDERMIED KOOZIE. But can you suck the eyes out when you're finished?
The beer is the last high abv beer we are going to brew, the end point of our research into how far the can push the boundaries of extreme brewing, the end of beer.
This blond Belgian ale is infused with nettles from the Scottish Highlands and Fresh juniper berries. Only 12 bottles have been made and each comes with its own certificate and is presented in a stuffed stoat or grey squirrel. The striking packaging was created by a very talented taxidermist and all the animals used were road kill. This release is a limited run of 11 bottles, 7 stoats and 4 grey squirrels. Each ones comes with its own certificate of authenticity.
Listen, I'm no stranger to drinking out of animal carcasses. As a matter of fact, I'm drinking out of a bear I killed right now. But that's not the point. The point is this: I think the small intestines might be leaking cause this beer tastes like shit.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a video the brewery released about the beer.

Thanks to essdot, Martin and Tim, who refuse to drink anything out of any animal that doesn't lay eggs.

This is a complete Photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back down where Max had to bring a pirate back from the the (mostly) dead, and tried to get out of it by talking about mutton lettuce and tomato sandwiches, and arguing with Baja about it.

That would be awesome if you could re-use the animal as a bottle coozie on the beach.... just sayin

I have been making penis cozies out of squirrels and various varmints for years now.

They're called cozys, not koozies. Koozie is an f'ing brand name, and it's also a slang term for a bajingo. People that call them koozies should be drug out into the street and shot.

As a vegitarian who does not drink, I dont know what to think about this....but that darn stoat in the kilt is adorable!

Cool. until you've drunk all the booze and in your loaded state you think the animals are coming alove to eat you and you take to them with a hammer.

@12
As a vegetarian who cannot spell, you must open a book once in a while.
Those paper things they kill trees for.
And as for this article:
Does it count as "natural causes" if someone runs over a critter?
17. suomynonA - July 22, 2010 7:21 PM
Fail.
"Only 12 bottles have been made and each comes with its own certificate"
Then
"This release is a limited run of 11 bottles, 7 stoats and 4 grey squirrels."

@8 I've been making penis cozies out of vaginas for years now..... just sayin
19. jojodrum3 - July 22, 2010 9:01 PM
@18, awesome.
I laughed at the road kill part. Squirrels are all over college campuses. They'll almost bully you and steal your lunch. I'd feel weird (and broke) drinking one of these.

Very true. They are very cocky bastards and are near intimidating at points.
I saw one try to murder a baby squirrel and another fall out of a palm tree and fall splat on his stomach, and start scurrying away.
Girlfriend said the squirrel probably died of internal injuries later, but I like to believe that somewhere out there is a very brave squirrel with a story to tell.
21. Toejam and Earl - July 22, 2010 9:52 PM
Oh, and I think I saw these things in a movie once or twice.
Stupidly obscene, and unoriginal to boot.
22. Papasan - July 22, 2010 11:00 PM
This is a high-order level of insane. I am having a hard time finding the correlation between dead animals and beer... Am I looking for something that isn't there?

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen,

It appears this post was written by the GW's secretary or somethin.... GW where are you????
26. -JH- - July 23, 2010 7:02 AM
Just an FYI Brewdog Puts everything in 330 ML ( right at 11 OZ) bottles, So i would assume that the actual OZ are not listed on the product page that these were also 330 ML, not 12 OZ.
Just sayin

@Duckypoo
people who say "drug out into the street' should be 'dragged' out into the street and shot.
28. Duckypoo - July 23, 2010 9:23 AM
@ krayg
Etymology 2
Germanic ablaut formation, cognate to German trug.

"Perverse"?! I don't think that word means what they think it means. Oh, it doesn't mean "incredibly classy?" So that's why I failed my GREs....
31. atheistgirl - July 23, 2010 2:39 PM
No, this is classy!

"The striking packaging was created by a very talented taxidermist and all the animals used were road kill."
TRANSLATION: A very talented taxidermist killed 7 stoats and 4 grey squirrels on the road or near the road.
