Brewery boasts world’s strongest beer

A CONTROVERSIAL brewery claimed yesterday to have snatched the world’s strongest beer title from its German rivals — with a 41% volume ale.

Scottish firm BrewDog said its new creation, named Sink The Bismarck!, “takes beer to a whole new level”.

The launch of the IPA comes weeks after German brewer Schorschbrau appeared to take the strongest beer title with its 40% strength Schorschbock.

BrewDog, of Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, said its Sink The Bismarck! costs £40 (€45) for a 330ml bottle and will only be sold via its website.
