    Yeah...doodoo brown bottle...Rogue Diner Breakfast Porter brewed with old coffee that sucked when it was fresh, runny eggs, cigarette butts, and the decaying corpses of hopes and dreams.

    I get hints of tobacco here and there in different beers. Most tobacco flavor I have ever picked up is Alpine Great, and it was delicious. Never been a smoker, but I did work at a store with a tobacco shop way back...

    I quit smoking by picking up alcohol! One vice for another.

    In all seriousness, it's a lot easier to consume a cigarette at lunchtime rather than nicotine beer.

    KeTo RePorter isn't the only one from Del Borgo, they also make KeTo Re Ale. Ke To stands for Kentucky Tobacco. I would love to try these beers but unfortunately they aren't allowed in america yet. I don't smoke, and haven't used alternative tobacco products, but I would drink a beer with tobacco, it's the only way I would purposefully consume tobacco. Italy makes a ton of interesting craft beers, and I am personally fascinated by them as much as American craft beer.

    Again, I really don't think I'd want to tackle this beast. I have enough problems in my life as it is.

    Yes, here is my review from 2009...I can still recall a STRONG cigar tobacco presence in the beer. I am not sure that I would seek it out again, but as my review states, it was certainly unique!

    yeah i fill an e-cig with 'juice'... It saves a ton/.. never dawned on me to drink the nicotine juice but i suppose it's a matter of time before some idiot does it and e-cigs refills are banned by brain-dead politicians. It is better to suppress millions to save the lives of two morons!

    I have been sitting on the idea of coffee flavored cigarettes for years. Someone else can carry through with the idea if they'd like.

    There is a belgian tripel tobacco beer called Jean Nicot and its brewed at brewery De Graal.
    It is brewed in order for a belgian cigarclub. There using Java, Havana and Brasilia tobacco leaves but there is no nicotine in the beer.
    I've got some in my cave but i didn't drinked it yet.

    It was brewed with Lapsang Souchong, a smoked tea, not tobacco.

    If you were to soak tobacco leaves in water the result would be very toxic and potentially deadly. Very bad idea.

    I prefer to get my alcohol consumption through beer and my tobacco through Tomacco Juice. Let my keep my addictions separate please.

    I have had the Keto Reporter quite good, a sweet porter that reminded me a bit of smoking a cigar, only lightly akin to how a cigar smells.

    Don’t think that brewing with liquid nicotine would be a good idea, putting enough into so that you could taste it would probably kill you.
