If you think the odd pint of Stella Artois or Kronenburg gets you tipsy, you may not want to sample Germany's latest offering.

A Bavarian brewer claims he has concocted a beer with an intimidating alcohol content of 25.4%.

So strong is Harald Schneider's beer that it is only allowed to be served in shot glasses.

He said: "People will only be able to drink two or three glasses, otherwise they'll drop like flies.

"Everyone who tries it is enthusiastic. It tastes like a quirky mixture of beer and sherry."

Mr Schneider puts the strength down to a fermentation process lasting 12 weeks, compared to the more normal one to two weeks for other beers.

The current record for the strongest brew is held by American firm the Boston Beer Company.

Samuel Adams Utopias is 25% alcohol and costs around £56 for a 24oz bottle.

Mr Schneider said: "I'm pretty sure the Americans have something up their sleeve."
