The End of History


Brewdog has made a 55% alcohol "End of History" beer. They made 12 bottles at $800 each. They, of course, have sold out. Interestingly, it's served in a dead squirrel for some reason. And as to why it's called "End of History" I'll let them explain:

The End of History: The name derives from the famous work of philosopher Francis Fukuyama, this is to beer what democracy is to history. Fukuyama defined history as the evolution of the political system and traced this through the ages until we got the Western Democratic paradigm. For Fukuyama this was the end point of man’s political evolution and consequently the end of history. The beer is the last high abv beer we are going to brew, the end point of our research into how far the can push the boundaries of extreme brewing, the end of beer.
