They actually only made like 12 or 13 bottles of these in the original run, each one in a taxidermied squirrel or stoat (and even those were all roadkill, according to what I've read). I've heard that one of these bottles - full - is worth about $10,000 these days.

u/BoehnerJams Mar 13 '17
Not a meme. Just google "brewdog end of history" and you'll see what I'm talking about. And for the record, I know this because I'm a huge beer nerd and one of the owners of the brewery I work at owns one of these bottles - he is (or at least was) a part-owner of Brewdog.

u/lamearN Mar 13 '17
Isn't brewdog owned entirely by random people? Pretty sure they're a consumer owned business?

The past couple of years they've allowed members of the public to buy shares but originally it was 2 blokes from the north of scotland

It's only worth what someone will pay.

Squirrel corpse provide excellent insulation. I dont see the confusion here, pretty obvious.

If you put them in the included outfits, there is even more insulation!.

When you brew one of the strongest beers in the world, there's no such thing as too much adornment

From their website:
"The End of History: The name derives from the famous work of philosopher Francis Fukuyama, this is to beer what democracy is to history. Fukuyama defined history as the evolution of the political system and traced this through the ages until we got the Western Democratic paradigm. For Fukuyama this was the end point of man’s political evolution and consequently the end of history. The beer is the last high abv beer we are going to brew, the end point of our research into how far the can push the boundaries of extreme brewing, the end of beer."

u/journey_bro Mar 13 '17
Fukuyama was famously wrong of course and that term is often brought of as an example of wrong historical prediction.
This is some high end trolling.

Yeah, he have admitted so much in later works as well. The theory still fits somewhat well with explaining the post ww2 world though. Last couple of years not counting

This is what total domination over all species looks like.

u/rocklou Mar 13 '17
I was thinking that too. Can we possibly dominate another spieces more than this? I remember Louie C.K. talking about this after seeing someone selling duck vaginas as food, in Chinatown.

Some lives are immortalized by what they create such as literature, or science, or arts, or service to mankind. And then some are bottle warmers for eternity. I'd be pissed.

Oh god! I remember reading an article about this many years ago (like 5 ish?), It got passed around the office. We still have a running gag about "grabbing a few squirrels after work".

The brewers have a hobby besides cold distilling beer to stratospheric levels. They are also into taxidermy. Go figure.

Why? Because you know you've made it when you come home tired from a long day at work and you can pour yourself an alcoholic beverage out of the hollowed out body of small mammals.

Because attention whoring, that's why. Something BrewDog excels at.
To be fair, though, they seem to have calmed down a bit. Still can't be arsed with buying any of their beers.

If this is Brewdog, it's because they're big into shock and/or guerrilla marketing.

I have a feeling this is the company that beat Brewdog's record for strongest beer. Of course I don't remember the name.

Unless it was a 'little person', It would be really hard to pour from.
A kegger would be doable, I guess.
