Message DietPepsican P beers 1592 º places 63 º 11:40 Mon 10/8/2012 Is HOTD the only brewery to do this one right?
Message Savvy1982 beers 1706 º places 70 º 11:41 Mon 10/8/2012 Originally posted by Papsoe Originally posted by Savvy1982 Originally posted by csano The question is... does it taste good? I haven’t had it, but I can pretty safely say: No. It does not. In the radio clip on youtube the brewer claims it has lots of flavour... Lots of flavour ≠ Good flavour
Message santabeer beers 68 º places 9 º 11:51 Mon 10/8/2012 How do they make beer over 40%? Do they distill it?

Message radarsock beers 1226 º places 112 º 11:52 Mon 10/8/2012 Fuck this. Who wants a strong ass beer anyway? It’s a novelty act, nothing more.
Message Savvy1982 beers 1706 º places 70 º 11:55 Mon 10/8/2012 Originally posted by santabeer How do they make beer over 40%? Do they distill it? Freeze distillation. Aggressively chill the beer, the water freezes, the remaining (higher alcohol content) liquid doesn’t. Rinse & repeat til you reach astronomical alcohol, and/or undrinkable results.

Message pinkfloyd4ever beers 39 º places 6 º 12:04 Mon 10/8/2012 So ridiculous. Who gives a shit? Anyone can brew a strongish beer and freeze distill the shit out of it. If you want to have this sort of competition, make it over the strongest naturally-fermented beer.
