Lewis Shand has brewed Snake Venom, the world's strongest beer at 67.5% ABV And now, 27-year-old Lewis Shand from Aboyne, is poised to launch his new creation "Snake Venom," which is 67.5% ABV and will be the world's strongest beer. The product, which is sufficiently powerful that his company, Brewmeister, have put a warning yellow triangle on the neck of every bottle, is going on sale today and Shand expects it to attract as much interest as his previous forays into the export market, which have seen him despatch the mega-strength tipples as afar afield as Japan, Australia and Canada. Shand pointed out that "Snake Venom" is meant to be drunk in (very) small doses. After all, it does cost £50 a bottle. But he has not only worked on developing the product with extraordinary devotion to his craft, but has sent a sample of it to the University of Aberdeen for analysis. He added: "We are beating our own record, in terms of this being stronger than "Armageddon," but this isn't just a case of trying to put more and more alcohol into the drinks. Instead, we have used three different types of yeast, including beer and champagne yeast, and added that to an acid malt. It will be available in the UK from the end of this week and we are going over to France next month to explain how we made it to 8000 people. We know that the headlines always focus on the ABV content, but we are proud of the quality of our products. "Snake Venom" has a hoppy, malty flavour and a kick like Cyd Charisse. It is not for the faint-hearted. But it is putting Shand into the record books again.
