We’ve heard about high ABV beers and high ABU beers but what about a beer brewed to survive conditions at the South Pole and NOT frees and minus 90-Degrees? Well Dancing Man has just the beer for you, provided you’re a South Pole explorer. MailOnline brings us the details on Pole Axe beer:
Brewers have now produced a special version of the British staple, which can now withstand temperatures of down to minus 90 degrees Celsius and the 10,000 mile journey from the UK.
Previously ales brought there could not cope with the low temperatures on Antarctica, as it would freeze and kills its taste.
This special beer - called Pole-Axed - is due to be shipped 10,000 miles to the Southernmost continent on the planet this week for engineers and scientists working there to enjoy.
Aidan Lavin and Stewart Cross developed the drink at the Platform Tavern’s Dancing Man Brewery.
The pair spent a painstaking month fermenting the beer, which is based on a 200-year-old Indian Pale Ale, IPA.
Their recipe includes hops imported from the North West coast of America and is fruity to the taste.
Aidan, from Southampton, said the secret to its success was its 6.7 per cent alcohol content.
