Germany: Bavarian brewer to make the strongest beer in the world

The Bavarian brewer Harald Schneider has managed to make the world's strongest beer, a potent drink with an alcohol content of 25.4 % that is served in a shot glass, Reuters communicated on September 9.

Schneider, who lives in southern Germany where beer is a tradition, said his beer fermented for 12 weeks for an alcohol content twice that of Germany's other strongest beers. The brewer believes that the Boston Beer Company the maker of the world's strongest beer so far, will initiate a fight in this respect.
