April 11) -- Move over, absinthe. The new high-alcohol import headed to the U.S. is super-strong beer.

At 32 percent alcohol by volume, Tactical Nuclear Penguin is more than six times more potent than the average American Budweiser. It's also among the world's strongest beer, thanks to Scotland's edgy and sometimes controversial BrewDog Brewery, which freezes its formula for more than three weeks at an ice cream factory, removing water and upping alcohol concentration.
 
I remember going to that bar that was on Amsterdam and 73rd or 74th once many years ago. What was the name? It was two letters and an ampersand. P&G, something like that.

Anyhow, the bartender would open a Rolling Rock and pour off the beer in the neck, and top it back off with vodka.

Someone had to institutionalize it at some point, I suppose.
