Tactical Nuclear Penguin incoming, It's over! - Polidicks

Fuck yeah Scotland [quote] (April 11) -- Move over, absinthe. The new high-alcohol import headed to the U.S. is super-strong beer. At 32 percent alcohol by volume, Tactical Nuclear Penguin is more than six times more potent than the average American Budweiser. It's also among the world's strongest beer, thanks to Scotland's edgy and sometimes controversial BrewDog Brewery, which freezes its formula for more than three weeks at an ice cream factory, removing water and upping alcohol concentration. Intrigued beer-lovers will soon be able to sip the stout that is almost as strong as liquor, as BrewDog is now in the process of shipping more than 400 bottles to stores in California and New York City, including a Whole Foods supermarket. Tactical Nuclear Penguin. Duncan Brown, BrewDog Tactical Nuclear Penguin, one of the world's strongest beers, is on its way to retail shelves in California and New York. "We wanted to push the envelope and take innovation in beer to places where it has never before been," Jim Watt, one of BrewDog's co-founders, told AOL News. "We want to show people that there is an alternative to the mainstream, monolithic, generic industrially brewed beers. " Watt and co-founder Martin Dickie founded the Fraserburgh, Scotland, microbrewery in 2007 at age 24, declaring their mission to shake up the British beer market. Three years later, they became determined to create Tactical Nuclear Penguin, what they describe on the company Web site as an "audacious attempt to make the world's strongest-ever beer." After aging their batch for 18 months in two different types of Scottish whiskey casks, then freezing the beer for 21 days at -6 degrees Celsius (21 degrees Fahrenheit) -- "penguin temperatures" according to the BrewDog boys -- Watt and Dickie succeeded. But success didn't last long, as a German brewer soon stole their strongest-in-the-world title with a 40 percent alcohol by volume beer called Schroschbock. It only took Watt and Dickie a few weeks to regain beer bragging rights with Sink the Bismarck!, now the world's strongest beer at 41percent. It is sold out at the BrewDog Web site. Beer battles aren't the only snafus BrewDog has encountered, as alcohol regulatory boards have criticized them for failing to provide fair warning about their high-alcohol, high-risk product. The chief executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland, Jack Law, slammed BrewDog's beer as "irresponsible." Another of their brews, the 18 percent alcohol by volume Tokyo brand, was yanked from shelves in Scotland in December after its marketing materials were deemed to encourage excess drinking. Sink The Bismarck. Duncan Brown, BrewDog BrewDog's James Watt and Martin Dickie pose with their brew, Sink the Bismarck!, now the world's strongest beer at 41 percent alcohol by volume. The obstacles aren't prohibiting BrewDog from releasing Tactical Nuclear Penguin in the U.S. "TNP is not dangerous at all...It is ignorant to assume that a beer cannot be enjoyed and savored in the same way you would drink a nice scotch whiskey or other spirit," Watt told AOL News, pointing out that both TNP and Sink the Bismarck! come in small, 330-milliliter bottles with re-sealable caps, allowing customers to enjoy them over a period of time. BrewDog also tells drinkers that Tactical Nuclear Penguin is not to be imbibed like your everyday brew with a warning label on its bottles that reads: "This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. It is exactly the same manner you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost." TNP will soon be available for the responsible sipping in the U.S. -- but high-alcohol content comes at a high price -- about $53 a bottle. "This product is very much for connoisseurs and beer aficionados – people who seek out very special beers," Watt said.[/quote] Source: [url]http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/super-strong-beer-tactical-nuclear-penguin-heading-to-us-shelves/19434984[/url] Yeah right, this is probably gonna end up on every major college campus in the US no matter the price.

We're all doomed. I mean the intelectuals.

Holy fuck we're all doomed. :derp:

Next, we're gonna be seeing death reports and jack Thompson saying shit about the beer.

Irrelevant thread title.

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;21296994]Irrelevant thread title.[/QUOTE] Let's see.... The name of the beer is "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" So the OP seemed to place a pun on MW2's tactical nuke screams with this. Irrelevant post.

Kids in college want to get drunk, and they want to get drunbk without breaking the bank.

The name makes it sound like it's meant for stupid Chavs.

[quote]Tactical Nuclear Penguin is more than six times more potent than the average American Budweiser[/quote] So it's only 98% water then

[QUOTE=Zeke129;21297699]So it's only 98% water then[/QUOTE] Ten points for gryffindor.

Move over absinthe? this isn't even as alcoholic as vodka.

This thread is extremely lacking in penguin-based weaponry. This is not relevant to my interests.

I thought this thread was going to be about Tactical Nukes strapped to russian penguins infiltrating the US coast

Tokyo is also the strongest beer we have ever made Sink the Bismarck world's Strongest beer at 41% ABV Tactical Nuclear Penguin the World's Strongest ever beer. a 32% The fact that they say that every beer of theirs is the strongest in the world, seems a bit confusing and not very convincing...

Pretty high alcohol content but 330ml bottles means there's only about 10 standard drinks per bottle, the same as a bottle of wine. I think it's easier to just buy normal alcohol.

Another great export from Scotland. God bless us.

Brew Dog make a mean IPA. I was going to order some Tactical Nuclear Penguin, but thought it'd be really costly but very horrible.

BrewDog brewery are amazing. They made this masterpiece: [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2636/3867964491_b34eec4e2f.jpg[/img]

Club Penguin could use that

Brewdog beer is horrible, the only reason to buy it is as a high percentage mantlepiece

I bet it tastes like shit. I'd have a Heineken or Hansa premium any day over this muddy crap.
