Beer + Tuba Players = natural pairing, but this is pushing it .

I’m an avowed beer aficionado, but I’m not sure about The End of History (and some of the brewers’ other product)... Don’t know if I could ever get past the “packaging.”

That's very interesting. Both varieties of that "The End of History" beer are out of stock on their website, so I guess it's working.

They only made 12 bottles of it, and it cost $762 per bottle.

Certainly interesting. Makes me feel better about buying a $10 fancy beer now.

I'd be happy to donate for free all of the squirrels around here to try to keep the price down.

I don't know------------seems like there is something squirrely about that.

I'd be happy to donate some conductors in order to preserve the rodent population...

If any of them are copper, please send them to me! I've never seen any copper in a squirrel's nest.

(or, as we used to call our old music director, a "semi-conductor"... )

You are looking in the wrong nests. Squirrels at home built a nest in my Subaru engine, between the intake and the block. There was a wiring harness in the way. No problem! They chewed right through it. I found the problem because the bits of nest I was pulling out had shiny pieces of copper in it.

And on this point we are absolutely, positively, 100%+ in total agreement.

Once, a long, long time ago, in the first house I owned after grad school and having entered the work force, squirrels chewed through a gable and ran around my attic and guttering. I used a blow dart gun to scare them away long enough to hang ratwire fencing inside the gable to keep them out (tempered steel wire 1/4 inch mesh).

I actually had a neighbor call in and bust me for it, and I actually got a visit from a conservation agent, in the middle of the city, about it. Of course, after I explained and offered to show him the damage, he shook his head, apologized for my time as I was completely in my rights as a landowner (even though it was a small city lot) to protect and preserve my property, and, well, the polite summary of what he said was a deprecation of people who called in for nothing wasting his time as well.

I actually have a couple scraps of squirrel pelt, from my tour of duty on the homeowner vs. squirrel front. Unfortunately not enough for a beer bottle cozy, as I found the prep for tanning to be too much work, and now the squirrels mostly steer clear of the place.

This beer has already been eclipsed...

(Reuters) - A Dutch brewer with a penchant for competition has laid claim to creating the world's strongest brew: a beer that is some 60 percent alcohol by volume.

Nuclear arms race of the beer world....
