(WXYZ) - A Scottish brewing company is claiming they have created the world's strongest beer.
The Brewmeister Brewery has concocted a beer they say is 65 percent alcohol by volume.
To put things in perspective, a 12oz. Budweiser has an ABV of 5 percent.
The new brew, known as Armageddon, uses a process called freeze fermenting to reach the high alcohol content.12oz. Budweiser has an ABV of 5 percent.
Good luck throwing back a six pack. The brewery believes the beer is so strong, people should drink it like a fine whiskey.
The brewery adds Armageddon should only be served in small doses.
That's probably a good thing. Because at $52 a bottle, throwing back beer after beer could get a little pricey.
The brew is expected to make its debut next month in Scotland. It's not yet known if, or when, it will be sold in the United States.
