 Stealing the title back with something called 'Sink the Bismark' really delights me.

And, coming out with a reduced alcohol content beer named Nanny State?

Yeah, I definetely like these folks.

Edit: Also, Kilts  :blush:
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Stop coming on to me Garbo.   :)

I didn't say pleated plaid. ;)

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Sink the Bismarck was a great movie.  That WREN was smoking hot.

Apparently, if I understand their website correctly, they freeze the beer for several weeks. I am uncertain that you could call it beer after that.
Nope, you can't by any conventional definition.  This freezing process used to be how hard cider was "fortified", the resulting product being called applejack.  Unfortunately, it has a tendency to make people go blind, so it's not typically used any longer.  :blush:  I would hope that these guys have better quality control (IIRC the cider problem was caused by concentrating small amounts of methanol).
It's probably like an Eisbock.  That's the German variation.  Although, Barleywines get up there in strength as well, though I haven't seen one nearly that strong before.

I've liked the Brewdog beers I've tried. Some of the bottle texts are a bit pretentious, but they're OK.

Best over the top beer I've tried was Mikkeller Black, a 17,5% coffee stout. Tasted like a fire in a coffee roastery.

I have a bottle of barleywine I'm saving for another year or so before I drink it.  According to the bottle, it's 18 proof.

They let hobos sleep on the ship?  That's awfully kind.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
