LONDON — The strongest and most expensive beer ever created sold out within hours Friday, a Scottish brewery said, as they courted controversy by packaging the bottles inside the bodies of stuffed animals.
BrewDog, the self-described maverick brewery, presented the beer -- which contains a record 55 percent alcohol -- inside the bodies of dead squirrels and stoats.
Animal rights activists rushed to condemn the stunt.
"It's pointless and it's very negative to use dead animals when we should be celebrating live animals," Advocates for Animals policy director Libby Anderson told BBC Scotland.
"This seems to be a perverse idea."

Though I do think that drinking beer out of dead squirrels sounds really gross.

I'm not even annoyed by the dead squirrel thing, I just don't understand why?? Is there is some cultural reason for serving beer in a squirrel
I would like try beer with that high of a alcohol content.I once tried 11 point beer and you could actually taste the alcohol in the beer.

Squirrel is so passe, I'll have a drop of stoat.
I find $1000 for a beer far more offending.
My question is how they got the beer to 55% alcohol?
I had thought that from fermentation the upper limit was in the mid teens
Adding alcohol artificially...
That is what I thought, but in that case in my opinion it is not really beer
