Snake Venom: The Strongest Beer

The strongest beer has an alcohol content of 67.5% by volume considerably more than whiskey or vodka, and called snake venom. This beer was produced by Scottish brewers Lewish Shand and John McKenzie. They came up with this idea when their previous strongest beer with 65% alcohol content was considered "too weak' by drinkers.

It was last year when Lewish Shand and John McKenzie of Brewmeister Brewery, in Banffshire when they produced Armageddon, the strongest beer in the world with 65% alcohol content. After more than 60,000 bottles of beers were sold, fans are disappointed and said that they don't believe that the beer has 65% alcohol. This is the main reason why they decided to create a new beer and after nine months, they were able to create the Snake Venom. “Snake Venom is definitely sharper in taste. With Armageddon, we actually tried to disguise the taste by making it quite oily,” Lewis says. The beer cost $81 per 275ml bottle.

He named this project as Graft, which features objects constructed out of bioplastic PLA, a material pulled from renewable sources like vegetable fats and oils.

He crafted forks, spoons, and knives that blend nature together with man-made objects that we use everyday. Although the shapes look like vegetables, they are created to be functional.

Beth Galton Photography: Food Cut In Half

Beth Galton is a food photographer who is based in New York. He graduated from Hiram College with a degree of studio art. He worked with this food cut in half photo series with food stylist food stylist Charlotte Omnès.

This photo series was inspired when they had an assignment and was asked to cut a burrito for a client. “Normally for a job, we photograph the surface of food, occasionally taking a bite or a piece out but rarely the cross section of a finished dish,” said Beth Galton. This lead for them to be curious and explore the interior of various food.

“Some items were straight forward and looked great being cut in half without any manipulation,” said Galton. “The donuts and ice cream were examples of this. Other items required food styling tricks such as using gelatin to solidify liquid in the soup cans and Kitchen Bouquet to color the bits of food in the noodle shot. Daniel Hurlburt, our digital tech/retoucher, was greatly involved and helped images that needed some adjusting and assembling all the elements we shot for the coffee pouring.”

Beth Galton has a very strong sense of composition and this is why noteworthy clients like Hellmann’s, Swanson Broth, Campbell’s Soup, Wendy’s, Kraft Foods, Stouffers, Nabisco, St. Ives and Amala skincare, acquire her service.

Hong Yi's Creative Food Art Work

Hong Yi is a popular Malasian artist and architect sells creative portraits using unconventional objects. On her recent art works, she used food to create art works. "My 'creativity with food' series has helped me push the limits of my creativity by forcing me to churn out new designs every day. It has taught me to not be too serious about what I do, but also to pay attention to detail and to work within the confines of a very small area. I've learned to slice, dice, stir, boil...who would have thought I'd need that for my art!"

I was surprised when my friends visited me today in our home. They brought these food to our home.
