It was for a short stint the worlds most alcoholic beer. They use a technique called freeze distillation to freeze and separate the water from the alcohol. I had a chance to try it but turned it down because it was so freaking expensive.

oh nice. i had samples of that and sink the bismarck when brewdog did a pouring here in sf. if i recall, STB had the a bourbony liquor taste, while TNP was like a hoppy digestif sort of thing. i liked TNP better myself.
to me it's all a bit out there, but by the same token it's pretty interesting to have a taste of the outer limits of what folks are doing with beer. enjoy that bottle!

Thanks mk78. We spent $82.99 for the bottle, but what the hell, you only live once!

I work for a supermarket chain called Big Y. They also own a store called Table & Vine, which has a very impressive beer and wine selection (they are highly regarded for wine). They were able to get a few bottles of Penguin and Sink the Bismark ($109.99).

100 dollars for a 12 oz? What did it taste like?

Was at my local bottle shop inquiring about some DF Burton and just asked the guys if they had the TNP...they did along with the STB - another patron overheard me and bought one! Said the same thing..."if you ever just want to spend 'stupid money' you have to get the STB one time". I could think of so many other great beers worth buying or a new piece of brewing equipment!
A liquor store here in Alberta tried importing that brew into the province. It actually caused the province to ban beer above 11.9% for a few weeks, then when the ban was lifted, there was large taxes put in place on high alcohol beers.
Tis a shame. I'd like to try it out, but not sure if I am willing to drop $90 to pick up a bottle. As BrewFrisco mentioned, many other great beers, plus, I could pick up a couple corny's for that price...

Some friends and I shared a bottle of this at a party earlier in the year, I'd say it's worth buying a bottle to share with some friends but it would be hard to drink one by yourself.... My memory is of a lot of malt and alcohol and not a lot else.

Wow, that's a lot more expensive than I would have thought. I was under the impression that it would maybe be around $50, but $83? Wow!

Ah, the Canadian way. Anything different is to be feared and (more importantly) heavily taxed.
I would have thought Alberta would have the best shot at a common-sense approach--guess not.

Yeah it's pricey, there's no denying that, but splitting it with a good friend and trying it together over the holidays makes it more of an event, worth the one time shot of $45 bucks a piece in my eyes. Something I'm sure I won't do again.
