(July 23) -- You've heard of beers getting skunked, but what about squirreled?

Believe it or not, a brewery in Fraserberg, Scotland, is selling a new Belgian blonde ale, and one of the selling points is that each bottle is packaged inside the dead, taxidermied carcass of a squirrel, hare or stoat. Some are even wearing offbeat costumes, including a hat and a tuxedo reminiscent of the Monopoly man.

The bizarre brewery behind the offbeat packaging is BrewDog, and it specializes in unusual, extra-strong brews with suitably edgy names like Punk IPA, Trashy Blonde and Tactical Nuclear Penguin.
