Brewery creates world's strongest beer
From Orange: A Scottish brewery claims to have created the world's strongest beer - a 65% alcohol drink called Armageddon.
And it is proving so popular that there is a two-week wait for delivery - despite the £40 price tag for a single 330ml bottle.
Created by Scottish firm Brewmeister, the beer is made from crystal malt, wheat and flaked oats and is freeze fermented to bring it to the required ABV.
A pint of the beer contains an alarming 37 units of alcohol - twice the recommended weekly intake for a man.
Brewmeister says the beer should be 'consumed like a fine whisky'.
A spokesman said: "Despite being 65%, the beer has a lot of flavour - malty, hoppy, slightly sweet and lots of yeast still in the beer.
"Be careful though, smelling it is probably enough to put you over the limit!"
