Snake Venom is the strongest beer as of the first half of 2020. It is brewed by Brewmeister brewery from Scotland and broke the previous record of another Scottish brewery – Brewdog, which bottled its 55 degree beer
Barlywine is a dark amber–colored ale brewed from Scottish spring water, hops, smoked barley malt on peat and fermented with two types of yeast.
The proportion of alcohol content in this beer is 67.5%. For comparison, the typical strength of barliwines is from 8 to 12%.
This strength is achieved by fractional freezing – the process of cooling beer to temperature, freezing water. Then the brewer removes the ice, and leaves the frozen part, achieving the desired strength.
