Worlds strongest beer?

Take a look at this thread on i-club:-

I thought that they brewed a beer to 20% ABV in the Frog & Parrot in Sheffield. Am I right?

IIRC I went to the Eldridge Pope brewery in Dorset for an Economics trip (no really it was) at college. One of the many beers we sampled was called Thomas Hardys something or other and that was around 14-15%. Either way its all ***** drinkin compared to Absinthes 70-80%

Couple of years back in my local real ale house they had a "chocolate Christmas beer" that was 16%, tasted as bad as it sounds, stronger the beer the sweeter it seems to get. Like drinking treacle. I blame this beer for making me ill that night.. Cough..

Mmmm.... Thomas Hardy's Ale....

Wonderful stuff, shame they've stopped making it in the last couple of years. Thankfully I still have a cupboard full, and it keeps for ages
It's 12% btw - strong, but some Belgian beers and one-off brews are stronger.

Toerag,
From what I remember the Beer was called 'Roger & Out' and sold at the Frog & Parrot in Sheffield.
When I was there as a student you were served the drink in a 1/3 pint glasse and received a certficate if you managed to drink two. For me it tasted so disgusting I struggled to finish one! I will stick to Timothy Taylor's Beer!
Oh, and it was around the 20% ABV mark.
Damian.

I was at Uni in Sheffield and yes indeed the beer was called Roger and Out and at the time was apparently the strongest in the world, cant remember the exact figure.
It was like syrup and was served in quarter pints, my mate had a half pint I think as was spewing for the next hour. though now I think theyve made it weaker to stop all the first years pilling down to get trashed.

Nothing like a good bottle of Landlord is there? Found a place in Shrewsbury that had it on draft - a rare find in my book.

Chris,
I am in the fortunate position of living in the town where Timothy Taylor's is brewed. They have around 30 pubs in the area so there are no shortages!

I was also at Uni in Sheffield and I can indeed confirm that the strongest beer in the world (or was) is served in the Frog & Parrot Pub on Division St. and is called "Roger & Out".
They brew it themsleves and it's some silly % vol, can't remember off the top of my head.
It's like drinking tar and it's served in small meausures, I think 1/4 pint glasses, but trust me it's enough!
Of course you always end up barfing after a skinful and it brings back painful memories on monster hangovers!!!
Aaaaaaahhhhh... happy times!

Tennents Extra, make everything else taste like water, four cans and you wake up in a shop doorway !
Its the only time I really want to shout obscenities at passers by and try and play a Harmonica, I have always wanted to get in touch with my "Vagrant Side"
Thank you Tennents for making my life whole.
