Scottish Brew Masters Stick It to the Man
From the "Oh, Snap" Department: the Scottish brewery BrewDog has created a 1.1% beer called "Nanny State" in response to an attempted ban on a controversial brew the company put out.
Earlier this year, British anti-alcohol groups protested the launch of Tokyo, and 18.2% ABV Imperial Stout flavored with jasmine and cranberries and billed as "the world's strongest beer." For comparison, the average alcohol content of a glass of wine is 11.5%; the average for a glass of sake is 13%-15%. Nanny State, a mild imperial ale, has an alcohol content is low enough that it is not regulated or taxed as a beer in the UK.
