Apparently they apply some kind of synthetical process (as opposed to traditional brewing) to up the alcohol level. No reason to give up beer chasers as far as I can see :-]

Agreed on both -- and it occurred to me that this stuff probably doesn't taste that good :/
And yes, the natural beer brewing process can only physically produce an alcohol content of what, 9 or 10% max? Especially before it starts to taste like-- sh*t? So they definitely did something weird to it. I didn't read the whole article; I saw it on the TV news and just found a link to add with my post, because I liked the name

the only way this would be important to me is if i could order it and have it shipped to my home for a reasonable price.
yes i too love the name and the logo they chose.
Me too: I don't really want to drink one, but with a limited production and a $50.00 per bottle price tag, I figured it'd be a novel thing "just to have" like for a collection, or for investment purposes .
Though, eventually it would possibly not be fit to drink, so eventually one might want to drink it (though with that alcohol content, maybe it would stay good for a looong time, or could be stored in the freezer!)

as for going bad, would really depend on if it is a live beer or a pasteurized one and thus dead. if live beer it will continue to get both stronger and better flavor, if pasteurized it will get skunky after a year or so and not really worth drinking.
yes with a dark bottle and a cool storage it would last longer at 64 proof

That applies for 'regular' beers. This is no regular beer. Pasteurized or not, the yeast is going to be dead - no strain can tolerate 32% alcohol. However, that sheer amount of alcohol will mean it keeps more like a spirit than a beer. Provided the bottle is properly sealed it will probably keep for decades (though light could affect it). Even opened and restoppered it should keep for some length of time.
(Possibly the beer was made so strong by freeze distillation, being thus an extreme example of an 'ice beer'.)

now that is a good point. as for the yeast surviving Sam Adams has a yeast strain that survives into the 30% range too.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin -- "worlds strongest beer"
apparently the worlds strongest beer at ~32% alcohol per volume, and the name strikes a nice parallel with the worlds strongest OS!
