Always thought Blatz was an unintentionally funny beer name, like the sound you’d make when puking it up. 🙂 ---

Last night I bought some of Revolution’s holiday ale: **Fistmas** Complete with a big green fist on the label. Bend over, I got some beer for you! I’m going to try it tonight. ---

Another good one is that Australian beer, XXXX, from Queeensland, I think (Aussies help me out). The name is basically saying: “There’s nothing else going on here but you getting shitfaced”. Good stuff! ---

Molson introduced [XXX](http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/433/3829) just about 20 years ago. They already had a long-time brand, Export, lovingly nicknamed “Ex” by consumers, so the name and alcohol content of XXX were kind of derivative of that. I bought a 6-pack and drank them semi-warm/not exactly cold, and got a massive splitting headache from it. ---

A friend who would drink literal horse piss if it had a trace of ethanol in it took a swig and nearly threw up trying to spit it all out. I’m thinking I’m glad I haven’t. Like Spinal Tap, I’ve only been up to 11(%) - Big Lamp’s Blackout. That’s actually drinkable - sipping though, not gulping! And I wouldn’t want more than a half. The main problem with really strong beers for me is the amount of sugar they use to turbo-charge the fermentation. They are usually way too sweet for me. ---

Had Hebrew Jewbelation 16 this weekend. Sixteen different hops, sixteen different malts, and 16% ABV. It was fantastic! [QUOTE= Shmaltz Brewing Company] Jewbelation Sweet 16® (November 2012 – January 2013) Brewed with 16 malts, 16 hops, and soaring to 16% alc, Jewbelation Sweet 16® marks Shmaltz’s sassiest anniversary ale to date. Since its inception in 2004, Shmaltz’s Jewbelation® series has been touted by critics receiving top accolades including multiple Gold Medals from the World Beer Championships and “5 Stars” from Celebrator Beer News. Imbibe Magazine named Jewbelation 14® one of the “Top 50 Beers in the World.” Jewbelation 14® even won “Best Christmas Beer” in a blind holiday tasting from Northern California’s, SF Weekly.

This thread makes me nostalgic for those heady days past - and weekends, lost to Bear Whiz beer. It was in the water. ---

> [@ralph124c](#): > > It is (I believe) the highest alcohol beer in the world. The high alcohol content is achieved by freezing (similar to eiswein).

Here you go. Have one on me.) Maybe stretching your definition of beer, but not even close. [There are many](http://www.beertutor.com/beers/index.php?t=highest_alcohol), especially BrewDog. Here is one of their more, umm, [festive offerings](http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article/341). When you guys mention a “bottle,” I assume you mean 750 mL for the fancy stuff, and not 12 oz.? ---
