| Hindenburg Zeppelin Beer A bottle of beer, recovered from the wreck of the Hindenburg airship, has sold for a record £11,000. It is the most ever paid for a single bottle of beer. The 72 year old bottle of Lowenbrau had been discovered (and signed) by New Jersey firefighter Leroy Smith in 1937 at the site of the historic Hindenburg disaster. He recovered six bottles of Lowenbrau while cleaning up in the wake of the crash. He buried them in a nearby field when the area was sealed off and later dug them up. He then gave five of the bottles to the members of his squad and kept one for himself. The bottle, is heat-damaged but still sealed. The sale included an account of its recovery signed by Mr Smith. Four of the other bottles are missing and one is at the Lowenbrau brewery. |
| You don't say..... Molson Coors has just launched Molson M, which they say is "the world’s only Microcarbonated lager beer." Microcarbonization they say, is a "revolutionary" process in which the beer is injected with CO2 through smaller, finer bubbles with a high level of precision and consistency. Molson clamis that the injection of smaller CO2 bubbles makes it possible to preserve not only the taste of the hops but also the delicate flavours generated by the yeast during fermentation. Hey, if they say so it must be true. ---------------------------- BrewDog has made a 32% ABV beer called Tactical Nuclear Penguin. They claim it is now the strongest beer in the world. It beats the previous world record of 31 per cent which was held by German beer Schorschbraer. Nuclear Penguin is now in the Guinness Book of World Records after being tested by experts at Edinburgh's Heriot-Watt University. The beer began as a 10 per cent imperial stout then was aged for 16 months in two different whisky casks. It was then stored in a freezer at a chilly -20°C for three weeks to reach its massive alcohol level. The Scottish brewery was immediately branded as "irresponsible "by Jack Law, of Alcohol Focus Scotland ---------------------------------- |
