The World's Strongest, Most Expensive Beer Served Inside a Squirrel 228
If you have $765 burning a hole in your pocket, and a penchant for drinking alcohol out of a taxidermied animal, the good folks at BrewDog have just the drink for you. Their latest creation, called The End of History, is a 110 proof beer that comes packaged in a variety of small stuffed animals.

"Drunk off a skunk" is the closest I wish to come to "drunk as a skunk."

Squirrels are rodents. They are cute little pests.
Furthermore, do you shed tears when people make exotic candy out of cockroaches or ants?
What about people who make escargot?
Hypocracy is only caring about the cute animals.
Freeze Distilation != Brewing... (Score:3, Insightful)
The reason the alcohol content is so high is not that its brewed, but that its freeze-distilled: by freezing the water out (the alcohol has a lower freezing point).
So calling it beer is really BS: its really a freeze-distilled whiskey.

I've had squirrel dumplings a few times, it is decent. Growing up, my dad (country boy turned retired military turned oil geologist) make sure we tried everything: rabbit, turtle, squirrel, and lots and lots of deer and fish. I still fish and clean and fry/bake my own. Don't hunt because I don't care for it, but there is something to the idea that if you are going to eat animals, you should be willing to actually obtain, clean and prepare them yourself at least once in a while. If someone can't handle that, then perhaps they should go vegetarian. Store bought meat is just hiring someone else to do your dirty work, which is fine as long as you don't pretend it wasn't an animal previously.
