Dive Brief:
- Scotland-based Brewmeister is releasing Snake Venom, a brew that, at 67.5% abv, might be the world's strongest beer.
- The beer—which is made from smoked peat malt and uses both beer and Champagne yeast—is so strong, the bottle carries a warning label on its neck.
- It's expensive, too: One 27.5cl bottle from The Real Ale Company runs £50 plus postage.

Dive Insight:
The brewery previously put out a 65% abv ale under the name "Armageddon," but that beer was meant to mask the flavor of the alcohol—something Snake Venom doesn't shy away from. For reference regarding the "world's strongest beer" claim, RateBeer.com has a list available on its site.
