Anybody seen Pingu lately?

[Rhys W]

He might have something to do with this. The guy in the background looks suspicious...

Great name for a beer. I particularly liked their suggestions for drinking 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

[Mr Larrington]

However Jack Law, of Alcohol Focus Scotland, described it was a "cynical marketing ploy" and said: "We want to know why a brewer would produce a beer almost as strong as whisky."

What a cock.

[pcolbeck]

If they were knocking it out at £1 a can in Spa shops he might have a point but since its a limited edition run at £30 it would be a very expensive way to get drunk. You could buy a decent bottle of Whiskey for that price.

Everything Brewdog does is a cynical marketing ploy.

I'd prefer a decent bottle of whisky, though

It isn't real beer though is it? What yeast can survive that level of alcohol?

[Hello, I am Bruce]

No yeast can survive that.

Brewdog freeze-distill it.

Some yeasts can get up to 20% or so.

Meanwhile, BrewDog's plans for a new headquarters to produce millions of bottles of beer a year have been approved by Aberdeenshire Council.
The decision was taken at a full council meeting despite having been recommended for refusal by officers because the site at Potterton, near Aberdeen, is in the green belt.

Huh, this from the same cooncil that welcomed that fecker wiggy Trump in to despoil our countryside with his ghastly golf 'resort'.
Feckers.

I've seen their stuff in Tesco and wondered what it was like. I won't bother trying it now.

[toekneep]

I was tickled by their low alcohol beer called, "Nanny State", that made me smile. I think I probably share a sense of humour with their marketing people.

That's call-in time by ministers, isn't it??

Ah yes - don't hold your breath
