A beer served in bottles made from stuffed animals has been criticised as “perverse” and “pushing the boundaries of acceptability”.

The End of History, made by BrewDog of Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, is 55% and £500 a bottle.

The bottles have been made using seven dead stoats, four squirrels and a hare, said to be roadkill.

However, Advocates for Animals and Alcohol Focus Scotland both condemned the marketing.

BrewDog claims the beer is the world’s strongest and most expensive.

Its co-founder James Watt said: “We want to show people there is an alternative to monolithic corporate beers, introduce them to a completely new approach to beer and elevate the status of beer in our culture.”

Advocates for Animals policy director Libby Anderson told the BBC Scotland news website: “It’s pointless and it’s very negative to use dead animals when we should be celebrating live animals.

“This seems to be a perverse idea.

“It’s just bad thinking about animals, people should learn to respect them, rather than using them for some stupid marketing gimmick.”

She added: “I think the public would not waste £500 on something so gruesome and just ignore it.”

Barbara O’Donnell, director of services at Alcohol Focus Scotland, said: “This is another example of this company pushing the boundaries of acceptability all in the pursuit of cheap marketing tactics.”

Controversial BrewDog has previously been criticised for 32% and 41% strength beers.

    Just to let you know Scotland. I have always bought Glenfiddich
    since 1991. I will no longer buy it. Not until I see this dead animal crap gone for good. As a matter of fact. I will boycott it.
    I will start to buy Dujardin. This is my protest for the cruelty being done here to animals!

    Thats got to be one of the most inhumane things ive ever witnessed. About the human race being extinct in 100 years i do believe it and im sorry that it has to be my generation that has to suffer. i hope i will be gone by the end that way i don’t have to suffer. Humans are this earths greatest enemy.
