World's strongest beer
Meet Strength In Numbers, a beer with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 57.8 per cent. The beverage, dubbed as the "world's strongest beer", is made by BrewDog in collaboration with Schorschbrau, a German brewer. So how do these brewing companies produce the eye-watering beer? Shortlist has
the details: BrewDog uses the traditional Eisbock method. This is when you freeze the beer, remove chunks of ice (water) until you're left with the concentrated high ABV liquid. To give the beer a bit of a spin, it features a blend of BrewDog's Death or Glory, an ice-distilled Belgian golden ale that's been sitting in whisky casks for 10 years. Because of the exclusivity and rarity of the beer, it costs a whopping £28.95 ($55.85) a bottle - but just think about the bragging rights when you get hold of a bottle. BrewDog has a long history of brewing high ABV beer. Its most famous is Tactical Nuclear Penguin, an imperial stout that clocked in at 32 per cent. It also created Sink The Bismark (41 per cent) and End of History at 55 per cent. All of these are brewed in the same way using the Eisbock method.
It's always Chewsday in the public service
@MaxRashbrooke tweets. "It has recently come to my attention that public servants have taken to describing meetings as "chew sessions". This is to stop immediately, thank you." @Kent_NewmanWGTN replies: "Chew sessions are possibly a great opportunity to dynamically touch base with key stakeholders to deliver sustainable solutions in an agile yet waterfall fashion?"
