Utilizing road kill is a tricky subject. We've seen recycled squirrel decanters before, and even had discussions on whether eating roadkill is vegan or veganish. The result was always heated debate. Now a crew of rogue Scottish brewers will surely add fuel to the fire, serving their record breaking 55% beer in dead squirrels and stoats. But you'll never guess the price tag. (Nor believe the rather unlikely story about why it's being done.) Scottish brewers BrewDog were already well known for pushing boundaries. Having previously brewed the 32% Tactical Nuclear Penguin and the 41% Sink the Bismarck!, the crew decided to break records once again with the 55% concoction known as The End of History.

Argh! You had to leave out the price as clickbait, didn't you?
For the convenience of my fellow BBs, here's the bottom line:
What I do find crazy is the price tag on one of these beers—a bottle (or squirrel?) of which will set you back 500GBP (about US$750)!
At that price, I think ES and his relatives are fairly safe from this new form of exploitation.
