Raise a glass to world's strongest beer

What is the point of a 32 per cent alcohol beer?
Other than as a publicity stunt of course. Where it fits the bill perfectly.
Hats off to Edinburgh-based BrewDog who boast that their 'beers are in no way commercial or mainstream.'
They say Tactical Nuclear Penguin is: 'about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level. It is about achieving something which has never before been done and putting Scotland firmly on the map for progressive, craft beers.
'This beer is bold, irreverent and uncompromising. A beer with a soul and a purpose. A statement of intent. A modern day rebellion for the craft beer proletariat in our struggle to over throw the faceless bourgeoisie oppression of corporate, soulless beer.’
Priceless stuff.
But here's the rub.
'Of the 500 330ml bottles released, 250 will be available for £30 with a further 250 available for £250 – the latter will include a  share in the BrewDog company as part of its ‘Equity for Punks’ campaign which is aiming to raise £2.3m to build a new eco-friendly, carbon-neutral brewery in Aberdeen.'
Good luck BrewDog, no one can accuse you of not having a go. Just don't ask me to taste it.
