Sounds fair enough to me. I wonder if we can get it on draught for Camping BN?

Wonderful idea - that beer should upset quite a few of those who believe they know what is good for us!

I love the fact that they produced a p!ss-weak beer called "Nanny State" after being criticised for their 18.2% Tokyo version .... hahaha.

Fantastic!!

Although at £39 per 330ml bottle plus £7 per delivery I won't be taking it to BN!!

 "This beer is about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level." B*ll*x is it. Its about getting their brand aired on forums like ours, It's like paying the BBC b*gger all for free world wide advertising.

But...... it may help those going to Bathurst next year with their restrictive bottle allowance

Got to try at least one bottle each haven't we?

Purely research, of course

To help the brand,

we could be part of a great marketing plan or even mad sponsorship?

Billiant, even if its just to P**ss off the the nanny state and snobery in the Scotch Whiskey industry - Why?.... because they can!!!!


However Jack Law, of Alcohol Focus Scotland, described it was a "cynical marketing ploy" and said: "We want to know why a brewer would produce a beer almost as strong as whisky."

The beer has been launched on the day alcohol was at the top of the political agenda with the unveiling of the Scottish government's Alcohol Bill including proposals for minimum pricing on drink.

Which was thankfully kicked into touch.

Mr Watt added that a beer such as Tactical Nuclear Penguin should be drunk in "spirit sized measures".

Clearly they've not seen the size of the measures we pour.

My spirits glass is 3/4 of a pint, but I do admit to watering it down.  It does explain why a couple of swift ones is rather relaxing
