Dutch Brewer Claims World's Strongest Beer
A Dutch brewer with a penchant for competition has laid claim to creating the world's strongest brew: a beer that is some 60 per cent alcohol by volume. "You don't drink it like beer, but like a cocktail - in a nice whisky or cognac glass," brewer Jan Nijboer told Dutch news agency ANP. -Full Story-

Mikkeller Bar draws lots for the world's strongest and most expensive beer
Mikkeller Bar draws lots for the world's strongest and most expensive beer
The event takes place on on August 26 and the beer is worth 6000 Danish kroner (around 1000 US $).
The Scottish brewery BrewDog has in the past years been getting lots of attention due to their extreme and untraditional beers , but no BrewDog beer has gotten as much publicity as the brewery's latest fabrication, 'The End of History'.
It does not only stand out as being the most expensive and strongest beer in the world, but has also been targeted by British advocates of animal rights while applauded by beer geeks around the world, because of it's wrapping in the furry warmth of a stuffed animal.
Only 12 bottles of this intricate beer at 55% ABV and a sum of 6000 Danish kroner are released....

Czech Breweries Split Over Brewing Methods And Marketing
Beer industry infighting is not that unusual. Disagreements can arise over every aspect of making and selling beer. Usually, they get resolved, sometimes at the expense of a brewery, and we move on. But, when that infighting is happening in the lager lovers holy land of the Czech Republic, it can be a bit unnerving.
The issue revolves around membership in the Czech Beer and Malt Association. Last week, K Breweries, which owns six small and medium sized breweries, announced that it was leaving the Association. They are following Žatec and Chodovar, two breweries who left the Association back in April.

Grimm Brothers Brewhouse Opens Tomorrow In Loveland Serving German-Style Beers
When Grimm Brothers Brewhouse opens tomorrow in Loveland, it will be the town's only independently-owned brewery. But it will also be one of several craft beer makers around the state that focus on a specific style of suds.
"There are breweries in Fort Collins, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, Estes Park, Lyons, but nothing in Loveland, so we thought we could fill a good niche," says Don Chapman, an electrical engineer and homebrewer who owns Grimm with Aaron Heaton.
The brewery, at 547 North Denver Avenue, makes beers based on old German recipes, particularly those that were outlawed in the 1500s by the German Beer Purity Law, or Reinheitsgebot, which only allowed water, barley and hops to be used in beer production.

The End of History
The End of History: The name derives from the famous work of philosopher Francis Fukuyama, this is to beer what democracy is to history. Fukuyama defined history as the evolution of the political system and traced this through the ages until we got the Western Democratic paradigm. For Fukuyama this was the end point of man’s political evolution and consequently the end of history. The beer is the last high abv beer we are going to brew, the end point of our research into how far the can push the boundaries of extreme brewing, the end of beer.

Chateau Jiahu a Brew For The Ages
Dogfish Head brewery is known for making exotic beer with ingredients like crystallized ginger or water from Antarctica, so it might not sound surprising that one of its recent creations is a brew flavored simply by grapes and flowers. It's not the recipe that makes this beer so special; it's where that recipe was found: a Neolithic burial site in China.
Chateau Jiahu is a time capsule from 7,000 B.C., but to hear Dogfish Head owner Sam Calagione talk about what beer was actually like back then, it's not the kind of thing that makes you say "Hey, pass me another ice-cold ancient ale!" "Probably, all beer thousands of years ago — to our modern palates — would have tasted spoiled," Calagione says. " In fact, in a lot of hieroglyphics, people are shown drinking beer using straws because they were trying to avoid the chunks of solids and wild yeast." So how do you go from "chunks of wild yeast" to a beer that you can get at your local store? You don't start with a brewery. You start with Dr. Patrick McGovern.
