You'd expect a lot from a bottle of beer costing $765. What you get is 55 percent alcohol — and served in a squirrel.

According to Scottish firm BrewDog, "The End of History" is the "strongest, most expensive and most shocking beer in the world."

Just 12 bottles were made and the company has already sold out. They will be shipped out to buyers in the United States, Canada, Italy, Denmark, Scotland and England next week.

The dead animals which were used to create the beers' unusual appearance were four squirrels, seven weasels and a hare. All were roadkill, James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, told msnbc.com.

55% alcohol content by volume too.  They use freeze-distillation where they distill it below freezing so that they can separate the alcohol and water.  I don't get why they do something that complicated instead of just adding alcohol to normal beer though.

The funniest thing is that anybody stupid/rich enough to buy this has to stare down roadkill with every sip he takes.

You can drink Woodchuck out of a woodchuck.  How novel.
