World's Strongest Beer (110 Proof)

Introducing the world's most expensive and strongest beer. 55% alcohol by volume (ABV) equivalent to 110 proof. For those of you who do not know much about ABV percentages, this beer has a high percentage than standard vodka, rum, whiskey brands.

This beer, The End of History, is made by BrewDog, a brewery based in Scotland. The beer is infused with fresh juniper berries and nettles from the Scottish Highlands and was developed using an extreme freezing technique. This beer will cost you $762 a bottle and is made out of roadkill, YES, roadkill. The bottle is surrounded by the body of a stuffed animal, such as a squirrel.
Now this isn't the only overly strong beer produced by BrewDog. Last year they drew criticism over the launch of a 32 percent beer, which was later beat out by a German brewery that produced a 40 percent strength liquor. Then in response, BrewDog then created the Sink The Bismark beer, at 41 percent.

What will come next after 110 proof/55% ABV beer? Either way, I think I will have to pass on these beers and stick to my regular vodka since that gets the job done just as good.
