Prepare to be scorched! Beithir Fire, a Scottish-brewed beer, claims the title of “world’s strongest beer” with a mind-blowing 75% ABV. That’s about 15 times stronger than your average brew, earning it a menacing yellow warning label and a stern reminder from the brewers: “Treat with respect and handle responsibly.”
The 88 Brewery, creators of this fire-breathing beverage, recommend a maximum consumption of 35ml per sitting. Those brave enough to sample this potent concoction have reported a spectrum of reactions, ranging from numbness and burning sensations to feeling “buzzed” within minutes.
TikToker Dan, known for his 1 Minute Beer Review account, shared his experience in a video. After taking a sip, he choked out, “Jesus f*cking Christ! Wow, that’s really strong. It tastes like burning, my tongue is now numb. I need to go lie down.” Barstool Sports staff members echoed similar sentiments, describing the beer as “taking a flamethrower down your chest.” One reviewer remarked, “My eyes are watering. My stomach’s never going to be the same… It literally feels like fire down your entire stomach. I feel like if I burped right now I might actually get flames.”
Beithir Fire, named after a deadly serpent in Celtic mythology, is not just a beer but a blend of beer and distilled spirits. Brewed for two months, the Scottish-style barley ale is combined with pure Scottish spirit before fermentation, resulting in its extraordinary strength.
Retailing at £45, this beer is certainly not for the faint of heart. Are you brave enough to test the limits of your palate? Have you tried Beithir Fire? Share your experience!
