BrewDog's Sink the Bismark!

BrewDog’s Sink the Bismark! »

18 Feb

A certain amount of controversy follows in the wake of the BrewDog brewery; not least this video advert for their latest high-alcohol offering.

Offended? Racist? Personally I think its laugh-out-loud funny. Items like shooting a penguin at a battleship is just gloriously funny.

The 41% Alcohol beer itself is now available in 330ml bottles at £40 each. I seldom buy a full bottle of wine at this price point so a small bottle of beer doesn’t stand an earthly… or does it?

For your chance to taste Sink the Bismark! head to the Rake, Borough Market, London on Friday (19th Feb) from 8pm to 10pm. (The Rake – 14 Winchester Walk Southwark London SE1 9AG)

8pm-10pm on Friday 19th February – just drop by between these times. The tasting is free and will be in the upstairs room.

Fantastic and very funny, but it is down to taste I suppose. I agree that shelling out that kind of money for a bottle of beer is not likely to happen. I prefer looking at wine glasses rather than beer glasses anyday!

£40 for a 330ml bottle? Thats the equivalent of £120 per litre! I doubt you will catch many wine merchants stocking that!

Opening with the ‘basic’ wines he was almost apologetic at their simplicity. Personally I found them a delight; no idea of price at the time (the top of the range comes in at a very reasonable €20 cellar door) but to a bottle these ‘lesser’ wines were lovely, offering a balanced richness, a true regional acidic streak in the RI.VA.LE Chianti and a touch riper, softer palate to the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
