[ale] 82-proof beer!

[Jim Kinney]

OMFG!!!.
I think these are the same brewers I saw months backthat had brewed a 30+%
beer called Nuclear Penguin. When they got yelled at by the Scotish alcohol
licensing board for contributing to the alcohol problem in Scotland, they
responded by brewing up a thin beer at 1.1% called Nanny State.

The classic Irish joke goes like this:

QUESTION:  Why did God teach the Irish how to make whiskey?

ANSWER:  To keep them from taking over the world.

The Scots were, originally, an Irish  tribe that wandered across
the north end of the Irish Sea to what is now known as Scotland.   They
took their whiskey-making skills with them, and found better water in
those highland glens. :)

Apparently the Scottish brewers aren't content to let the distillers have
all the fun. A brewer in Aberdeen (northeast coast) has produced a "beer"
with a 41% ABV

the register has the story:
