Beer: Video of Tactical Nuclear Penguin, World’s Strongest Beer (32%!!!)

What could make a 32% beer even better? Scottish accents and penguin costumes. Watch the lads from Scottish brewery BrewDog show how they create the world’s strongest beer, Tactical Nuclear Penguin. (Hint: It involves freezing their mega-mature stout and brief, simulated penguin sex.)

Unfortunately, only 500 bottles of the beer will be produced with one 330ml bottle set to cost £30. Or, 50 American bones.

Alright, ad nerds. If you were hoping on using tilt shift in an ad, it’s officially done. But what better way to do it than with the best? Keith Loutit is the tilt master. I’ve stared at his magical little wonderland illusions wayyy too often. This spot he did for HP and agency McGarryBowen is like a nice way to bring it all home. Thank you tilt shift, and good night.
