BrewDog, we love you, but your reign as the creators of the most alcoholic beer has lasted the grand total of... about a week. 7 days ago, our Scottish pals were on top of the beer-based world, but now Dutch brewers 't Koelschip (The Refrigerated Ship) have made a new 60% ABV beer, beating Brewdog's now paltry 55% with ease.

Seemingly a friendly jab in BrewDog's considerable beer belly, the Dutch tipple is called "Start the Future" as opposed to the Scots' highly flammable "End Of History."

To get yourself some of the new super-bevvy, you'll need €35 (£29) in your bank account, and the desire to sip at something so strong it's more of a cocktail than a common or garden whistle-wetter. Oh, and a respectable understanding of written Dutch.

Beer Wars it may be, but it's friendly one, the Dutch brewers are keen to point out, telling news agency ANP that" "It has become a little competition...You should see it as a joke."

A joke, eh? We doubt BrewDog James Watt will be laughing. No sir. Then again, he's got loads of stuffed rodents to keep him company, so maybe he'll be all right.
