Armageddon: The World’s Strongest Beer
Called “Armageddon”, the name is no accident, it is the strongest beer in the world. At 65 per cent alcohol, it’s stronger than whiskey or brandy and 16 times more potent than a standard lager.
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!”
Brewery founder Lewis Shand told Standard Media: “The phrase “delivers a punch” doesn’t quite cut it – delivers a supersonic charged explosion is probably more appropriate.”
The Holy Grail – A Triple-Barrelled Shotgun
THE HOLY GRAIL: A unique triple-barrelled shotgun made for a Scots aristocrat has been sold at auction for £43,000 (then $66,000). The shotgun – dubbed the “Holy Grail” – was made in April 1891 for John Adrian Louis Hope, 1st Marquess of Linlithgow and the seventh Earl of Hopetoun. The three-barrelled ejector, 16-bore gun, with three triggers, was designed by renowned Edinburgh gun makers John Dickson & Son and is the only one of its kind. Its origins were identified after the gun was taken to a valuing event at Hopetoun House, South Queensferry, and it has now been sold at Holt’s auction in London, to a private collector, after fierce bidding from around the world.
Donald Trump Does Bohemian Rhapsody
Enjoy!
In November 2010 Queen guitarist, Brian May, gave his permission for a new version of Bohemian Rhapsody to highlight what he described as ‘… a horrible example of bullying the defenceless by a rich man who apparently can buy anyone or anything he wants.’ This has resulted in a satirical music video featuring a three-foot puppet of Trump strutting, strumming, and warbling his way through a rewritten version of the iconic chart-topping hit.
Most of the land was designated a SSSI – a Site of Special Scientific Interest yet this has now been bulldozed.
In this beautifully played and creative video, fun is poked at The Donald and the issues surrounding what happened at Menie are questioned.
