A Scottish brewery is trying to wrest the distinction of making the world's strongest beer from a German rival by launching a 41% ABV ale called Sink The Bismarck! According to the Aberdeenshire-based firm BrewDog, the IPA "takes beer to a whole new level". Its launch comes weeks after German brewer Schorschbrau released a 40% strength Schorschbock. Sink The Bismarck! costs ?40 for a 330ml bottle and will only be sold through Brewdog's website. The firm drew criticism from industry watchdog the Portman Group last year for its 32% strength beer, Tactical Nuclear Penguin.
