BERLIN (Reuters) – A German brewer has concocted what he says is the world’s strongest beer, a potent drink with an alcohol content of 25.4 percent that is served in a shot glass.

“Everyone who has tried it is enthusiastic. It tastes like a quirky mixture of beer and sherry,” said Bavarian brewer Harald Schneider.

Schneider, who lives in southern Germany where beer is a tradition, said his beer fermented for 12 weeks for an alcohol content twice that of Germany’s other strongest beers.

“People will only be able to drink two or three glasses, otherwise they’ll drop like flies,” he said.

Schneider expects the holders of the world’s strongest beer, the Boston Beer Company, to put up a fight.

“I’m pretty sure the Americans have something up their sleeve.”

… “I’m pretty sure the Americans have something up their sleeve.”

We sure do, it’s called an arm on this side of the pond! 😉

I really enjoy beer, perhaps too much at times (hic) and I’ve also made a few gallons of ale. I think the world’s strongest beer is a novelty and brewers do it for a challenge and as a type of brewer’s game, a good natured competition.

I love European beers and American craft beers. I enjoy them at their proper temps and with a proper pour. I think when beer starts to get to be 1/4 alcohol, it becomes a liqueur and not beer (JMO). I drink Tequilla from a shot glass but beer from the proper mug or glass. LOL

Have you ever tasted a glass of single malt whisky,that is something you would enjoy if you like spirits, and you know where it is made.
