"Irresponsibly alcoholic" beer introduced...

[glazbagun]

18% alcohol content and lots of other stuff:

but £9.99 a bottle? Cant see many binge drinking on that when theres numerous gut-rots they could buy elsewhere. Good free advertising, though- wonder if they have the same marketing team as the Grand Theft Auto guys? Shame it's such a crap name, though

Its less irresponsible than Asda selling 500ml bottles of beer - each containing around 2.5 units of alcohol - for £1.

Some people are utterly incapable of minding their own fking buisness.

You can get a cheap bottle of Vodka for less than £10 so their arguement doesn't really stack up. In fact, I might buy a bottle or two just to spite them.

To be honest i look at the bottle and the name and think "wkers Drink"

Am I being thick or am I completely missing the point. What is wrong with that?

It's got jasmine and cranberries in it; that's pretty fked up right there.

Yes, yes, all of the above etc, but...

The brewing company's latest product uses jasmine, cranberries, malts and American hops, and is then fermented with a champagne yeast to make the high alcohol content.

One of the nicest beers I ever tasted was something called "Zeiss" I think. Also brewed using Champagne yeast, but coming in at a lowly 8.8% So I can imagine this beer tasting ok.

Anyone know of any other beers brewed with champagne yeast ? Ta.
