This, ladies and gentlemen, is the strongest beer in the world: Schorschbock 43 by Schorschbräu, a brewery in a little town called Gunzenhausen in Franconia, Germany. It’s basically just around the corner from where I live, so maybe I should check it out, try this beer and then tell you how I liked it! LOL.
It’s alcohol content is 43 %! WOW! As you can see, over the past few years, Schorschbräu has managed to win the award for world’s strongest beer a couple of times. And they broke their own record every single time.

Colloquial synonyms for “Bier” (beer)
“das Bier” is the normal way to say “beer” of course. But when you’re at a pub, especially in rural areas, you may hear people use different expressions for beer.
1. das kühle Blonde = literal: the cool blonde (means: a cool, bright beer)
2. der Gerstensaft = literal: barley juice
3. die Halbe = literal: the half (half a liter of beer)
4. der Bölkstoff = a term which has become popularized by a comic character called “Werner”. It basically means something like “booze” but only refers to beer. I never use it.
5. das Helle / das Dunkle = a bright / dark beer
6. das Seidel / Seidla = used in Southern Germany (Bavaria). It used to be an old word for half a liter.

Have you ever heard of German “Bockbier”?
Bockbier (or abbreviated “Bock”) is a special kind of beer. The literal translation is “goat beer” (der Ziegenbock is a male goat).
It’s usually dark (although there are light ones, too) and very strong compared to normal beers. The alcohol content is between at least 5% (which is close to normal) and can go as high as 12%!

There are sooo many different kinds of beer. Maybe you’ve already heard of this one - Rauchbeer (smoked beer)? A popular one in Germany is the “Schlenkerla Rauchbier” from Bamberg, Bavaria. It’s a very dark beer that tastes like you’re swallowing alcoholic smoke LOL. I know that sounds gross (and I don’t like it at all) but I know many people who do! So if you’re in the area, give it a shot and tell me what you think :)
