Oh Brewdog, how I love thee

Brewdog´s done it again. In an awesome display of humour and plain craziness, they’ve set the world record for the world’s strongest beer. Again. First came Tactical Nuclear Penguin. Then the Germans responded with Schorschbock and won, but only temporarily, for the mighty scots then sank the German flagship with their barley torpedo named Sink the Bismarck. And before the Germans even had the time to blitzkrieg back at them, they now (presumably) ended the war by creating the final boss of beers.
