Message tdtm82 beers 1704 º places 138 º 17:24 Sat 7/24/2010 Originally posted by SilkTork If you had £500 to spend on one bottle of rare beer, which one would it be? For me it would be Ratcliffe Ale. Stella Artois. No doubt about it.

For me it would be Ratcliffe Ale. Good call Steve. Fascinating read. I dunno. Aging a beer 137 years seems pretty gimmicky to me.... Specially if the brewer lives to sell it himself

Message Erlangernick beers 6 º places 2 º 14:35 Sun 7/25/2010 Okay, the German TV segment about Sink the Bismark (30%) vs. Schorschbock (43%) has been subtitled and put in three segments here: http://de.tinypic.com/r/2ccmfif/3 http://de.tinypic.com/r/2qatvz9/3 http://de.tinypic.com/r/2yy9pb6/3 (Yes, there are a few typo’s, and the formatting ain’t perfect, but it’s free, and "whoever" did the subtitling clearly only spent the time to do a first pass, not a professional job.) The original video from Pro7 is here http://www.prosieben.de/tv/galileo/videos/clip/23425-das-staerkste-bier-der-welt-1.1708058/ The BrewDog dude’s German’s actually quite, quite good. Funny accent though. Repeated freezing is the trick. Email to BrewDog about this a while back went unanswered, FWIW.

All i can say is that without the lab testing it could not have been sold due to goverment laws, so if the goverment is happy with it, who is right?

You’re assuming they got it wrong. Two more reputable sources that found the exact same number? I think it’s a fair assumption.
