Beer Bottles Created Using Recycled Roadkill

Yup, you are seeing right! Above we have a squirrel made immortal! Certainly not, through the ingestion of alcohol, but through taxidermy art – built around a beer with a beast of an alcoholic content: 55%! This is Brewdog Brewery’s roadkill beer, a 765-dollar beer served in the bodies of squirrels, stoats and a hare. Cheap to buy it most certainly wasn’t. Bizarre? You betcha!

Brewdog calls its “End of History” line a “excellent conceptual marriage between art, taxidermy and craft brewing.” The name of the line of 12 beers came from the book, The End of History and the Last Man, by Francis Fukuyama, suggesting that Roadkill beer is to beer what democracy is to history – an interesting analogy to say the least.

The particular beer also arrives complete with drinking instructions: “This 55% beer should be drank in small servings whilst exuding an endearing pseudo vigilance and reverence for Mr Stoat. This is to be enjoyed with a weather eye on the horizon for inflatable alcohol industry Nazis, judgemental washed up neo-prohibitionists or any grandiloquent, ostentatious foxes.” We get the impression Brewdog are the bad boys – or perhaps mavericks – of the alcohol industry!
