The strongest beer in the world
P.R.Timms
and we accidentaly walked into a potery shop (to buy mum a mug) anyway we
went upstairs and there was this amazing beer shop - a SECIALITY BEER SHOP
to be exact and it had things you had never heard of let alone pronounce.
So we walked around a bit and found this beer called EKU 28 simply
titled with the label- THE STRONGEST BEER IN THE WORLD 11% -that was enough
for us so we bought some, but you must have a strong will `cos if you don`t
like Special Brew you will hate this!!
But try it anyway!! and if anybody has seen anything stronger please
let me know!

Sam Adams Triple Bock is %17 alcohol, and is now considered
the strongest beer in the world. I believe Samichlaus is also
somewhere around the %13 mark, although I'm not to sure. Sierra
Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine is also %11 alcohol. Those are the
strongest beers I know of.

This guy who worked in beer store in Tennessee told me that the strongest
beer in the world was brewed in Sweden once a year for some holiday. He
said it was 13% ! Holy cow, that would be a robust brew, no doubt!

it is called samiclaus, and it is 14%. it is brewed on dec 6 when the batch
from
the year before is released. It starts off tasting kind of like port
wine/beer and ends with a kick like brandy or cognac. It's definitely
alcoholic. and not something you drink a six pack of.

Also, it is Swiss, not Swedish. And it is not the strongest beer in the
world. Read the FAQs around here if you want to find out which one is.

People, this is getting tedious! Why don't you RTFM or at least the
FAQ! Extracted from the Beer Records FAQ:
BEER RECORDS FAQ
revised, November 8, 1994
Strongest Beer:
(Note: These categories will be split into
Conventionally Brewed and Ice Distilled only when an ice
distilled beer is stronger than the strongest
conventionally brewed beer.)
Strongest Ale or Barley Wine:
The Boston Beer Company (marketers of the Samuel Adams line of
beers) is marketing a 17.5% abv (14.4% abw) "Triple Bock" beer.
Despite its name, it is a barley wine, brewed with Champagne yeast
and not lager yeast. There is some speculation that this is the
beer that was test marketed in the U.K. as "Small Brewer's Revenge"
Notables from the recent past:
Uncle Igor's Famous Falling over Water, brewed by the Ross Brewery,
in Bristol, UK, which is 17.3% abv (14.2% abw). <Supplied by Conor
O'Neill -- co...@inmos.co.uk>
Roger & Out, brewed at the Frog & Parrot in Sheffield, Great
Britain, from a recipe devised by W. R. Nowill and G. B. Spencer,
is 16.9% abv (13.9% abw), was the previous record-holder (GBR,
1992). (I received a communication that contended that 16.9% abv
was a theoretical limit and that it only reached this strength
once.)
Lagers:
Samichlaus Dark 1987 (Brauerei Huerlimann, Zurich, Switzerland) is
the strongest conventionally brewed lager at 14.93% abv (12.23%
abw). (GBR, 1992) Michael Jackson's Pocket Guide (1994) indicates
this has been as high as 16% (13.1% abw).
Michael Jackson refers to EKU Kulminator 28 as having the highest
gravity (28 degrees guaranteed, but some have been as high as 30.54
degrees). The alcohol content is 13.5% abv (11.0% abw). This beer
is ice distilled, but not for the purpose of increasing its
alcoholic strength. (MJPG94)

Obviously, Sage in the beer store was confusing Sweden with
Switzerland. The "big holiday" is St. Nicklaus day. It is still the
world's stongest lager.

Here we go again I suggest you both take a look at the FAQ. Whilst on the
subject I received the regular mailing from Macro (Wholesale Cash & Carry)
yesterday. They are claiming the EKU 20 at 11% ABV is the strongest beer in
the world. I think I'll send them a fax to point out they are in contravention
of the trades description act :-).

Samichlaus is still the world champion strongest lager beer, rangin
between just under 13 to over 14% ABV. The Sam Adams Triple Bock is up
around 17%, but a top-fermenting yeast is used in it. I cannot drink more
that 1 bottle at a time of any of those beers!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I'm calm now.
First, there is no beer that is 21%
Second, you are probably thinking of EKU. It is only the second
strongest *lager* on record, and it is only 13.5%. The following is
extracted from the Beer records FAQ which I maintain AND WAS POSTED
ONLY ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS EXCERPT WAS POSTED TO THIS THREAD
ONCE ALREADY. Yes, I *am* getting fed up.

Are you sure that isn't EKU 28(made in Germany) where the 28
is degrees Plato and the abv is about 13.5%?

La biere du diable is a swiss beer at 12% They to claim it to be the
strongest blond beer in the world. I must say it tastes like gin because
it is so strong! 8-)
I think there is La biere du demon in France which is also 12%

In article <CHAMBER.94...@sunland.gsfc.nasa.gov>,
I lost my copy of the Simon & Schuster beer guide written by Michael
Jackson (no, not Elvis' son-in-law) but I recall reading about an
English beer which Jackson claims is the strongest in the world, and
is about 20 percent alcohol. It is brewed at a pub somewhere,
and they only let you drink one a night because it is so strong.
Could somebody please look this up for me? I'm pretty sure it is in
there. I need to buy a new edition of this handy little book because
the one I lost was out-of-date on American micros and brewpubs.

It is in the extract of the Beer Records FAQ that I posted yesterday,

It sounds to me like I'd be better of using their Pils to wash down
another one of their Pils . . .

Don't know about EKU -- but the Trappiste Beer brewed by happy
monks in Belgium is incredibly strong and very good flavor.
It can quickly set one's head spinning.
It's been a few years but I hope they still brew it.

1. Yes Belgium is still brewing Trappisten biers.
2. EKU (Echstes Krumbacher Union) do brew a whole range of beers and
they are German (from believe it or not, Krumbach.).
