A Virginia-based brewery is on a mission to have their eye-wateringly spicy IPA recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the hottest beer in the world.
While there are currently Guinness World Records for numerous beer-related accolades, including the world’s oldest beer and the biggest glass of beer ever poured, there is not currently a category for the world’s hottest beer. A Carolina Reaper beer might just be the first tipple to win the accolade.
Roy Parrish’s Maltese Brewing Company is attempting to break new ground, then, with its Signal One 2.0 IPA, which is infused with a quite startling 500 Carolina Reaper chilis.
