BBC News - ‘World’s strongest’ beer with 32% strength launched

A controversial Scottish brewery has launched what it described as the world’s strongest beer - with a 32% alcohol content.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin has been unveiled by BrewDog of Fraserburgh.

BrewDog was previously branded irresponsible for an 18.2% beer called Tokyo, which it then followed with a low alcohol beer called Nanny State.

Managing director James Watt said a limited supply of Tactical Nuclear Penguin would be sold for £30 each.

He said: “This beer is about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level.”

Mr Watt added that a beer such as Tactical Nuclear Penguin should be drunk in “spirit sized measures”.

A warning on the label states: “This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost.”

Gin GREENS

The task of design gin Greens was to create a modern, bright and recognizable product which can be completely different from anything that exists on the market today. As the materials to be used glass with decoration. The whole upper part is made from high-quality plastic and is attached to the bottle with the help of a fixing latch.

Sneak Booze Into the Game With These Binoculars

Similar to the Beer Belly and the Winerack, the Binocular Flask appears to be a regular pair of binoculars, but is in fact a flask in sheep’s clothing. Each eye piece unscrews to provide access to a separate compartment, ideal for carrying liquor and a chaser. Or you can head off to the baseball game and sport the ‘two brothers’: Jack Daniel and Jameson (puke).

Available here for $15.

The Mixed Emotions Cocktail Bottle

The new concept by José Luis García Eguiguren is all about selling a mix of emotions and vodka. The bottles of a weird shape render the whole range of human feelings such as love, sadness, happiness, fear and anger through colours — red, blue, yellow, black and green correspondingly.

The Mixed Emotions cocktail containers are made in the form of two intertwined straws you can drink from (the two of them have different types of liquid that are blended just before getting onto the tongue). The bottle by the Spanish designer is unbreakable, so don’t hesitate to show your emotions at full when you are drinking from it.
