After a long day, there's nothing quite like a cold beer to unwind, right? But for those who are daring and fearless, there's a beer that might not offer the same relaxing experience. The Scottish-brewed Beithir Fire boasts an astonishing 75% ABV, which is about 15 times stronger than your average beer. In fact, it's so potent that it comes with a yellow warning label and a website disclaimer urging people to handle it with caution and responsibility. It's enough to send shivers down our spines...
The makers of this beer, 88 Brewery, also advise not to consume more than 35ml in one sitting. And for those brave enough to try it, the reviews have been mixed. One TikToker, Dan from 1 Minute Beer Review, took a sip and shared his thoughts. But in between coughing and retching, his review was quite colorful. "Jesus f*cking Christ," he exclaimed. "Wow, that's really strong. It tastes like burning, my tongue is now numb." He even had to take deep breaths and lie down afterwards.
Over at Barstool Sports, the staff members were equally astonished by the extra-strength beer. They described it as "taking a flamethrower down your chest." One drinker's eyes were watering, while another's stomach was never going to be the same. "It literally feels like fire down your entire stomach," they wrote. And another added, "I feel like if I burped right now, I might actually get flames."
But the taste testers also reported feeling buzzed within minutes of drinking the beer. "I'm drunk already," one said. "The burn is like a really strong Scotch. I think I'm really drunk, this is crazy." While another simply stated, "I'm scarred."
This fire water retails at £45 and is named after the Beithir dragon, a deadly serpent in Celtic mythology. It's a unique blend of beer and distilled spirits, as the website explains that it "was born out of a relationship between two of Scotland's most famous products." The Scottish-style barley ale is brewed for two months before being blended with pure Scottish spirit and undergoing fermentation.
