I have no further verification of this, but I just read an article about an even stronger beer that is going to be released soon. Schorschbräu Schorschbock 40%. It’s an Eisbock from Germany. The company claims another beer at 31%, which already had Utopias beat. I’ve never heard of this particular brewery. Some additional investigation seems warranted.
I was thinking though that these new world record beers don’t seem as impressive to me as Utopia. Using the “ice” method of distillation seems like cheating. Sam Adams actually ferments Utopias to 27%. Oh well…
In the meantime, here’s the link to the original article.

Where can one purchase said Schorschbrau Schorschbock. I’d like to purchase some for my husband.
So far as I know it is not available in the US.
Although I reported this back in November, I still haven’t seen an actual bottle, but from photo’s I’ve seen it looks like only 15 were made, as each bottle is numbered by hand, and the one I saw said 02/15.
I believe that is correct. I read somewhere that only 15 bottles were produced. Talk about rare beers…
