@bitminter's Did You Know #9 The World's Strongest Beer!

Armageddon is a Scottish brewed beer that was introduced on 3 November 2012. Ingredients include crystal malt, wheat, flaked oats and pure Scottish spring water.

However, Armageddon was labelled as the world's 2nd strongest beer as of October 2013, after Brewmeister's Snake Venom was released clocking in at a stomach-burning 67% ABV. Source

The Brewmeister (brewery) began on a farm in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire with a student loan.The first beer produced was called Armageddon, which the company claimed was the world's strongest beer at 65% alcohol by volume (ABV).

In 2013, Brewmeister replaced Armageddon with a stronger beer called Snake Venom claiming 67.5% ABV, and put a warning label on the bottle advising consumers to only drink one per sitting. It retailed at £50 for a 275ml bottle. Brewmeister claimed that the beer "tastes like a liquor and has a whole host of different flavors, ranging from bubblegum to caramel.

In March 2014, the company announced they would move to new facilities at the Isla Bank Mills in Keith and quadruple beer production while in May of the same year, the company won the BQ Scottish Business Award for Export. Richard Lochhead, member of Scottish Parliament for Keith, said that the move would be "a successful addition to Moray's strong food and drinks sector." The brewery currently employs 13 people.
