Don’t agree with only selling 1/3 of a pint though.
That is weird, when you'd usually buy it 330ml bottles/cans, which is a bit over half a pint.Mind you, having tried thier Tactical Thermonuclear Penguin some years ago I'm glad they sell that in small quantities. It's the kind of thing you want to try but, I can't believe anyone would want to actually drink a class of the crap.

1/3 pint is the standard measure for beers of that strength on tap. All craft beer bars would be serving those beers as a 1/3.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin is 32% ABV. Nobody is buying a pint of it. It is a good beer.

At 32% and 41% alcohol it was never going to taste like a beer. TNP was a good beer of the style.

Yes I think it was 100mls or something. Utter disgusting stuff. Bought 2 bottles - threw one away after 1 sip and gave the other 1 away.
Yeah, I tried it in an American beer bar in Amsterdam (the obvious place to find a Scottish beer ), and it came in something closer to a shot size than a beer glass. Glad I hadn't bought a bottle of it, it was horrible. I love strong trappists and barley wines but TNP was not to my taste at all. Never bothered to try Sink the Bismark or any of the other similar stupid strength ones, but presumably they do have different flavours and some might be worth a try, I just got back from the states and Canada and was part of the trip was to St. Louis and I was there for a brewery called "Side Project" tenth anniversary specifically. It was over four days and they released a new bottle every day, with crazy lines each day. It was a great weekend and lots of great beers shared with fellow beer geeks. They specialise in barrel aged beers and I'd only ever tasted their sours before, but love barrel aged stouts and barley wines and wanted to try them for a while. The beers are fantastic, even if you need to take out a second mortgage to buy them and ended up spending more than I had originally envisaged, but c'est la vie. Managed to bring a nice little haul back with me, now the hard part is not drinking them and aging them.

nice. Do beers travel well? Looks like you didn't get an explosions but that would be what I'd be concerned about! Blown2CV said:
