The newest beer trend isn't beer that tastes great or beer that is low in calories; rather, it's beer that can get you the drunkest as fast as possible.
A Dutch brewery called 't Koelschip (translation: The Refrigerated Ship) has created a brew called "Start of the Future" that it claims is the strongest beer in the world: It's 120 proof, or 60 percent alcohol by volume. Need a little perspective on just how strong that is? Let's put it this way: Regular beer is typically 4 to 6 percent alcohol by volume; most speciality microbrews and Belgian ales max out at around 8 or 9 percent; and distilled spirits (vodka, rum, whiskey, etc.) are usually around 40 to 50 percent ...
Yup, that's some strong effing beer.
I know what you're thinking, though: Didn't we already hear about the world's strongest beer last week?
Well, yes. But no.
