Now this is something interesting, Tactical Nuclear Penguin is the worlds strongest beer with a volume of 32%. Now this seems like a crazy strength, but for once BBC News has an almost balanced article about it all.
Managing director James Watt said a limited supply of Tactical Nuclear Penguin would be sold for £30 each. He said: “This beer is about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level.” Mr Watt added that a beer such as Tactical Nuclear Penguin should be drunk in “spirit sized measures”.
So Brewdog are saying, its crazy strong – like spirits can be – so drink it like vodka, whiskey and so on…
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.”
Well Jack. Why not? Beer brewing can be an art form, no one is making anyone drink this stuff. In fact why isn’t anyone kicking about whiskey – because you could drink it in pint glasses if you wanted to.
Maybe Jack should drink some nanny state…
