This wins - but not from the local offie.
I went to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere in North Yorkshire that was run by monks - now aside from being very good at playing hide the sausage with each other, they were also masters at brewing moonshine, and in the fine Roman Catholic tradition of giving unto others, they were quite happy to let the 6th formers try it as they viewed giving us access to booze would help us avoid the temptation of drugs - well they were wrong on that front, but the shit they brewed up was off the Richter scale - still the most powerful stuff i have ever put down my throat.
As we all know some of the finest booze on the planet has been brewed by monks down the years, and they also did a fine line in super strength cider, slow gin and vodka, and an 8.5% beer - needless to say most of them who were over 40 had a nose that resembled Rudolph the red nose reindeer, and walked around in various states of stupor and pretty much let the boys run riot - to give you an idea when i was there, in the early nineties, you were allowed to smoke if you had a letter of consent from your parents. At a recent reunion it was no surprise to see that many of my contemporaries looked 10 years older than they should do, most blaming this on the particular "pastoral care" that the monks allowed!
Happy days.

That delirium stuff reminded me of Sinhga. I had 2 of those big bottles a while ago before going out and binged as normal, but fuck, I had the worst hangover in a long time and i blame this beer in its entirity. I only drink this with Thai food now. In moderation.

Sadly, or maybe thankfully, Brewdog's latest high strength beer has been banned.
Not happy with their 18.2%abv TOKYO, the went ahead and created the 32%abv TACTICAL NUCLEAR PENGUIN.
To me, 32%abv for a beer is madness. Certainly a challenge though. ';)

My 18th birhday my grandad said to me "son here's a twenty, go across the road and treat yourself to a mans drink" so I went and got a 4 pack of Super T. He explained to mymum that it was time that I grew into a man
When I was arrested for being half naked and passed out drunk on a mini roundabout in a county durhma market town it wasn't too easy to explain to mum, fuck it'sstrong

"This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost."
Yes

And I thought a 10% abv beer was strong. So why on earth release a 41% abv beer?
A beer stronger than many whiskies and vodkas.

Empty bottle of Laurent Perrier Cuvée Rosé Champagne on the lane on my way home this evening. Discerning tramps in South Oxfordshire.
Buckfast. Isn't that the stuff that homeless sweatys drink around Kings Cross?
