It's difficult to say that this is truly a beer. Usually to brew a beer w/ that high of a %abv you need to use champagne yeast and a freeze process.

You would have to brew that extremely slowly. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of sugar that it must start with...

If you actually watched the video it took over a year, and then they froze it.
.. you guys are awesome smart ^^/. I want this now, and the names are genius.

The Antarctic name inducing schizophrenia of this uber-imperial stout originates from the amount of time it spent exposed to extreme cold. This beer began life as a 10% imperial stout 18 months ago. The beer was aged for 8 months in an Isle of Arran whisky cask and 8 months in an Islay cask making it our first double cask aged beer. After an intense 16 month, the final stages took a ground breaking approach by storing the beer at -20 degrees for three weeks to get it to 32%.


For the big chill the beer was put into containers and transported to the cold store of a local ice cream factory where it endured 21 days at penguin temperatures. Alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water. As the beer got colder BrewDog Chief Engineer, Steven Sutherland decanted the beer periodically, only ice was left in the container, creating more intensity of flavours and a stronger concentration of alcohol for the next phase of freezing. The process was repeated until it reached 32%.

That is pretty damn impressive, the workmanship that went into creating such a thing. That and the names are simply kick ass.

Damn, pretty expensive. Though, if there's still Tokyo available next week I'll order a case of that.

 

[awptickes]

There's a video? I didn't notice on my iPhone. Probably because flash fails it.
