Words to Drink By
Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer! — Martin Luther. German priest, theologian & author.

World’s Strongest Beer
This beer, which one critic explained as tasting, “like burning” was created by 88 Brewery and ‘born out of a relationship between two of Scotland’s most famous products, beer and distilled spirits.”
According to the brewery, Beithir Fire is a 75% ABV Scottish-style barley ale which is brewed for two months and blended with pure Scottish spirit before undergoing fermentation and triple filtration to remove all impurities.
The beer is described by 88 Brewery as having an initial kick that “heats the mouth and challenges the taste buds, followed by a hit of dried fruit and smokiness, with a very malted barley-like finish.” And it is so strong it comes with a yellow warning label!
