A brewery in the US state of Ohio is set to make the most of newly relaxed liquor regulations by selling beer with a mind boggling alcohol content of 55%.
Brewdog will open a new factory in the city of Columbus, with the debut marked by the so-called 'End of History' beer which is being created in response to Ohio House Bill 37 which went into effect last week.
The new legislation removes the previous 12% limit on beers made and sold in Ohio.
An earlier incarnation of the Brewdog 55% alcohol beer was sold in an extremely limited edition of just 12 bottles.
In a true example of 'only in America' each of the precious brews had some unique packaging - it was literally encased in a stuffed squirrel (pictured below).
Police in Sweden have ended up red-faced after arresting a man when they found 20 bags of white powder in his vehicle during a traffic stop.
According to the officers roadside tests indicated the presence of amphetamines, however subsequent testing by the Swedish National Forensic Centre found it was just glucose.
The 40-year-old was subsequently released without charge, with the local police chief describing the incident as "unfortunate".
