If this beer really exist, then: ISO!!!

But I have to be realistic: I’ll never get to try this beer...

Can we all just agree that it’s not beer, it’s liquor. The bottom line is that freezing to remove water content as ice is a form of distillation. Is there a beer with higher alcohol content than Utopias without being frozen? Otherwise for my money, that’s still the world’s highest abv beer.

no we cant. if the defination is beer for a freeze destilled beer, it doesn’t matter if it is 13 or 55%. we can’t just change a definition just beacuse someone goes to the extreme.

It’s actually not distillation, even though some people call it that due to similarities. I prefer the term Cryoconcentration, though a more common term is Fractional Freezing. Distillation requires boiling, this clearly avoids it. Terming anything that’s been frozen would remove Eisbock which has been long accepted as beer. This is just a more extreme version.

and just out of noseyness what you doing hanging out on STV web site

I run the Danish beer news site Beerticker.dk. For that reason I continously monitor what shows up on the web concerning beer. In Denmark and internationally - so I wasn’t specifically looking at the STV site.

Anyhow - the STV story has now disappeared from the web. But BrewDog has previously promised BIG news tomorrow - Thursday.

The question now is - did the story leak to early or was it a hoax. Maybe a hoax leading to the real news being released tomorrow?

Guess we’ll be wiser tomorrow.

Having a bottle of beer shoved up your @$$ is natural?
OK, in Scotland maybe it is?
