The beer bottles are packaged in stuffed animals – seven stoats, four squirrels and one hare – that were hand crafted by a Doncaster-based taxidermist.

BrewDog co-founder James Watt (pictured below, right) said: "In true BrewDog fashion we've torn up convention, blurred distinctions and pushed brewing and beer packaging to its absolute limits."

The name refers to a work by philiosopher Francis Fukuyama.

"This is the beer to end all beers. It's an audacious blend of eccentricity, artistry and rebellion, changing the general perception of beer one stuffed animal at a time," said Watt.

The End of History was produced at BrewDog's Fraserburgh brewery using an extreme freezing technique to separate the water from the solution.

The process is repeated dozens of times meaning hundreds of litres of beer is needed to produce one 330ml bottle.
