Xmas shopping steez.

Looking for an immensely strong but tasty beer to get for my brother as a christmas present. Needs to be reasonably priced (i.e. not £15 a bottle) and preferably available online.

All help appreciated, big ups.

Singha or Chang.
Love them.
And they're strong.

Thai beer available in most places it seems.
I can get it here in SA but not in big bottles.

Taedonggang Beer. Brewed in Pyongyang, North Korea. Similar to British ale in taste.

No 11.5% beer/lager is going to taste nice, i don't care how posh the bottle is

Bottle of Brew Dog "Toyko" will set you back a tenner though if you're wanting a budget alternative;

WRONG
There are others not specifically 11.5% but 10+ which are lovely!!!

Fruit beer doesn't count. The super strengths ive had all have a really strong metallic taste

The tramp juice brands usually do (Tennants, Special Brew etc). But I've had some of the Brew Dog 13/20% stuff and it's not half bad.

Desperado is the worst ive tried, tasted like mr muscle

danny_scrilla · Post by **danny_scrilla** » Wed Nov 28, 2012 11:14 am

really tasty but maybe not strong enough for what you're looking for:

Augustiner Maximator

approx. 2€ a bottle.

similar price but way stronger (12%): Schneider Weisse Aventinus

it's a wheat beer though...probably not for everyone.

yes this is lager but Czech - Primator, won best lager in world coupla years ago, fuckkng NICE (if u like czech lager) and can get a crate from laithwates at ok price http://www.laithwaites.co.uk/DWBase/jsp ... rod4462372

I can suggest (from the list)
Dulle Teve
Gulden Draak
Kasteelbier
Malheur
Oerbier
Rochefort 10
Straffe Hendrik
Westvleteren 12

are the ones around 10% I know and I like
could ask a mate whose done every beer in the Belgian beer book (admirable) but then you'd have to wait a week or 2
