Oh no, here we go again... it's beer dude. Is eisbock not beer? I mean you make reference to it. I guess you are asserting that style is not really beer?FWIW, this has already been beaten down a bit...https://www.brews-br...in-mega-merged/I'd dispute their claim that this is "World's strongest beer". They are distilling it via freezing, like an eisbock. I call cheating! DFH and Sam Adams make their super high gravity beers (both claiming to be the strongest at one point) from pure fermentation, no distillation.

+1Man I tell ya these guys are nuts, what a joke. Sorry I think this alcohol% race is stupid. I thought these guys were cool and interesting back when they were featured in BYO magazine and such. I even have a bomber of Punk IPA hanging around too. Come on already just brew some beer to be enjoyed.I think it's completely ghey. Just give me a beer, for God's sake.

To me, this is beer just as much as brandy is wine. Beer is produced by yeast, as is wine. End of the World and Brew Dogs’ other high alcohol “beers†are not produced by yeast, they are produced by freeze distillation. I say boooo.But MolBasser has it right — what I (or you) think doesn’t mean squat in the end. The only thing that matters is whether or not people buy the stuff. If they do, then Brew Dog will survive and thrive. Personally, though, I just wish Brew Dog would put out some decent beers before they go to these extremes — every one that I’ve been able to try here in Japan has been underwhelming.Oh no, here we go again... it's beer dude.

But that's how you make eisbock. I'll call it freeze concentration since an actual still is not used while one is used in the making of brandy I believe. I agree when it comes to the success of their business that it doesn't matter what we think, but I also think that this could be entered in a beer competition under the eisbock category. And yeah, their beer-beers, like Punk IPA haven't gotten me to buy a second bottle.To me, this is beer just as much as brandy is wine. Beer is produced by yeast, as is wine.

The alcohol in pretty much all alcoholic beverages is made by yeast (I don't know about wine coolers, Joose, etc.), obviously he was aiming at the fact that it's not produced by yeast alone. There are other processes added on the end to increase alcohol.Personally, I don't care what they call it. If it was $10/bottle I still wouldn't buy it. It sounds kinda gross to me.The alcohol is made by yeast. What is the problem here?MolBasser

Exactly. Eisbock , I’m on the border with that one, but I lean toward it not being a beer.And like I mentioned, brandy is produced by distilling wine. If I came out with a 110 proof “wineâ€, what would people call it? Surely not wine, it would be brandy.The alcohol in pretty much all alcoholic beverages is made by yeast (I don't know about wine coolers, Joose, etc.), obviously he was aiming at the fact that it's not produced by yeast alone.

Aventinus is not beer? If Aventinus is beer, where is the limit? Is this basically just one of those "quantity becomes quality" things? I mean, I know people that would say once you put bacteria or coriander in your wort, you're not making beer, so I guess it's all just a matter of perspective.As far as wine goes, they will straight pour brandy into wine and call it wine. I'm not a big wine guy, but Madiera, Port, Sherry all come to mind in terms of some of them having distilled alcohol added to them. Also, to the point, brandy is made with a still, eisbock is not.Exactly.
