Woot Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Dead animal beer bottles at £500 eachA beer served in bottles made from stuffed animals has been criticised as "perverse" and "pushing the boundaries of acceptability". The End of History, made by BrewDog of Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, is 55% and £500 a bottle. The bottles have been made using seven dead stoats, four squirrels and a hare, said to have died of natural causes. However, Advocates for Animals and Alcohol Focus Scotland both condemned the marketing. BrewDog claims the beer is the world's strongest and most expensive. Its co-founder James Watt said: "We want to show people there is an alternative to monolithic corporate beers, introduce them to a completely new approach to beer and elevate the status of beer in our culture." Advocates for Animals policy director Libby Anderson told the BBC Scotland news website: "It's pointless and it's very negative to use dead animals when we should be celebrating live animals. "This seems to be a perverse idea. "It's just bad thinking about animals, people should learn to respect them, rather than using them for some stupid marketing gimmick." Weird.
