Its distilling vs not distilling. So there is a difference. Just in process though. Though I felt that Sink the Bismark while definitely possessing of a mighty alcohol burn, was far less than what a liquor of similar strength would possess. Such as a scotch for example.

Since the process of freezing used for an Eisbock is still regarded as beer then I’m still considering it a beer.

However had it not been previously designated as beer I’d argue its not that much different than distilling.

All I really care about is if it tastes good.

Who cares? The German brewery they compete with will counter with a 65% ABV beer next week.


I think Schorschbräu will show an reaction, but probably not next week.

Where’s the pic of the damn packaging? I want to see what this shit looks like, although for 500 pounds it better have a gold plated cap and pearls around the neck.

I just brewed a 200% beer. It’s a mild that will make you look like this: and then feel like this:

So not interested. I’ll be happy to wait for this fad to burn out (says the guy who really enjoys WWS and 120 Min).

I’m not sorry they’re doing it, someone eventually would have. I just have no interest in seeking out any of the beers involved in the "stronger just because it’s physically possible" war.

I’m interested in tasty beers being locally available that don’t break the bank. That’s pretty much it right there.
