My brush with The End of History

I took myself over to ThursdayClub with the expectation of having a drink and a catch up. Little did I know I’d be experiencing my first brush with The End of History.

This strange creation by the genius if not slightly warped minds of the boys at BrewDog is, I believe, the strongest beer in the world at 55%. Yes, that’s right. 55%. But that’s not what makes it unique. It’s the fact that it was housed in a squirrel that boggled my mind.

Don’t worry it’s not directly put in a squirrel, just the bottle is. But to hold a squirrel and put it up to your lips as it’s beady, dead eyes stare at you is off putting to say the least. I guess I feel slightly better that they were road kill and not killed specifically to house beer bottles. So it makes me feel slightly better (but not really as I’m a vegetarian).



There is a ton of history around “The End of History” and description of the process of the beer making on the blog post BrewDog wrote on the subject. It’s actually worth taking a peruse of their whole site. They are really trying to do something different in the brewing of beers and I think they are the forefront of the march towards more craft beers being available throughout the UK.

I think I’ll try them again. But maybe not out of a squirrel this time. I’ll deem that a one off.

Side note: When my flatmate saw these photos she said: “Where has this come from? I don’t like it. It makes me uncomfortable.” I think won’t tell her where it came from so she’ll still drink BrewDog in the future.
