Hilarity ensuing over across the ocean, in a beery mode. BrewDog (who I believe were one of the first US-style microbrewers in the UK) intro'ed a high ABV beer called Tokyo*. It was promptly deemed excessive, irresponsible and just generally bad. In fact, it's just been banned in the UK. BrewDog's earlier response had been to create a low ABV beer called Nanny State. But earlier this week they upped the ante a bit with Tactical Nuclear Penguin. 32% ABV. I'm at the same time both impressed and reminded of the Monty Python line "this is not a wine for drinking; this is a wine for laying down and avoiding."
