There’s nothing more refreshing after a long day out in the blinding hot sun than an ice cold beer.  Encased in preserved road kill.  No, really.

This 55% beer should be drank in small servings whilst exuding an endearing pseudo vigilance and reverence for Mr Stoat. This is to be enjoyed with a weather eye on the horizon for inflatable alcohol industry Nazis, judgemental washed up neo-prohibitionists or any grandiloquent, ostentatious foxes.

*blink, blink*

Another area we have explored is extreme ABV brewing. Using clowns, penguins and polar bears we have frozen, hopped and oak aged stronger beers than have ever before been made in the history of beer. This program has parented the infamous Tokyo*, Tactical Nuclear Penguin and Sink the Bismarck! The End of History, at 55%, is the final instalment of our efforts to redefine the limits of contemporary brewing.

*pinches arm, hopes desperately to wake up*

Look people, where I come from we call this drink “white lightening,” and if you go drinking too much of it, you’ll go blind.  True story.  You definitely shouldn’t be sipping on home-stilled moonshine while huffing taxidermy chemicals, which is obviously your favorite past time.  Why else would you put little costumes on the already defiled creatures?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and vote that you don’t throw a case of these bad boys into your cooler for next weekend’s barbecue.  The only thing more nauseating than looking at one of these things would be the smell I imagine they emit when moist – a smooth medley of stale beer and wet dog.

Thanks, Anke.  I’m thinking about quitting beer now, too.

Elly Lou will probably upchuck if she looks at any more up-cycling today.

   At least they don’t have bloody duck feet that they flop around on while stamping on your soul.
   My dog has repeated fantasies about shoving a beer bottle down a squirrels throat just like that. He’ sitting next to me smiling right now.

   As a home brewer, i take HUGE offence to the implication that small run craft brews are dangerous moonshine.

   I totally get being not into the taxidermy aspect and I admit it’s weird,(thouch I personally like taxidermy, I don’t expect other people to, and I do think it’s kind of distasteful to mix it with a food product) and I am totally not upset that you’re harping on it.

   But don’t rip on small run brewing. Mainstream commercial beers are watered down piss swill and craft brewing is an art that produces safe, delicious, high quality beer and liquor in varieties that would never get to be tasted otherwise because the mainstream beer industry is stuck on making crap for the masses.

   Wohoo, you posted it! Seeing it here makes it even more disturbing *shudder*.

   Pouring beer from these things must look as if the poor creatures were vomiting…
