    I once actually ingested a mouthful of steer manure. I couldn't differentiate it from Copenhagen.

    With Easter coming up and the current craze for brewing IPA with sweet ingredients, can Peeps IPA be far away?

    OMG! That's too weird! Yep..you win!
    I wonder though, has anyone tried it. Better yet, has it been reviewed? I imagine it would go like this:
    "Slightly musky aroma....the palate starts off dry but gradually becomes increasingly slick and juicy"

    P.S. I'm so sorry BA ladies! I just couldn't resist! Please don't get me banned!

    My homebrew club has a bracketed competition every year with some strange ingredients chosen. They chose meats for one of the rounds that consisted of frozen chicken nuggets, pepperoni, beef jerky, and smoked turkey leg.

    That is pretty effed up, however, you know what they say "If it taste like fish, it's a dish and if it smells like cologne, leave it alone."

    I feel like you would have to hop that to death to overcome the unbearable sweetness, not to mention be very careful with how long it was in the barrel and depending on that, I think it would probably have to be an imperial pilsner, but more to the point, yeah seems like a bad idea haha

    I don't think it would necessarily be a BAD idea, but just silly; seeing as the trend is IPAs looking like orange juice, and tasting like it too, someone should figure out a way to create a lighter-hued stout that looks like chocolate milk. And tastes like it as well.

    Well, there's blond stouts...but that's kind of a gimmick, as they're just imperial blond ales with coffee or something to make it taste a bit roasty. Milk stouts tastes a lot like chocolate milk to me. Also maybe something like a milk brown ale would fit your description, which actually sounds really tasty. I'd like to see a brewery make that. Clown Shoes made a beer called The Barista that was an imperial oatmeal brown ale with lactose and coffee. It was delicious.

    The guest bottles at Hill Farmstead usually include a couple of oddities. Until a couple weeks ago they had one that was described as being brewed with leaves, sticks and various bits of forest debris - something like that, I can't remember exactly. Right now they have Wunderkammer with corn, beans and squash.

    I've been waiting for something brewed with bongwater. But it would probably have to be home-brewed or, at best, a limited release. I don't know where you'd get that much bongwater.

    Yeah, like a coffee/chocolate brown ale, maybe with some lactose, but with a low-flocculation yeast or some agent to get that murky, milky color. Actually sounds pretty good for breakfast right now!

    Probably the two weirdest I've ever tried were:

    Blis Blast All Day IPA from Founders - all day aged in barrels that once held bourbon, kbs, maple syrup, hot sauce and then all day.

    DFH World Wide Stout thru a Randall with kopi luwak coffee beans - coffee beans eaten in the wild by jungle cats then they poop them out and people harvest them. Really weird but had to try it at EBF years ago

    Sounds like a pre-made Michelada/Chelada to me....which are fantastic hangover killers by the way

    Hmmm, found this ... Stag Semen “Milked” Stout

    If lately you feel like your beers have been lacking a… je ne sais quoi, a pub in New Zealand has a solution: deer semen.


    The Green Man Pub in Wellington, New Zealand, has teamed up with the local Choice Bros Brewery to create a Stag Semen “Milked” Stout. Though Stuff.co.nz didn’t quite get to the bottom of just how much deer semen ended up in every pint, they were informed that owner Steve Drummond considered the special ingredient to be “export quality.” In fact, he can even tell you which stag it came from: His name was “Lagoon.”




    The owner also didn’t pass up the opportunity to squeeze in another double entendre—that the beer would only be available on handpumps instead of on draft. “There's only one way to serve semen stout and that's handpulling it,” Drummond quipped.


    As far as how semen stout tastes, the brewer, Choice Bros’ Kerry Gray, said it had a big chocolate and roasted flavor and was extra creamy, not from the semen, but from added lactose. “The first tasting we had a couple of brewers around and we were passing it around,” Gray said. “Everyone was apprehensive but we decided we didn't really have any reason to be.”


    If they thought it was awkward, just imagine how Lagoon felt…

    @YamBag already mentioned it but...

    I only re-mention it because it's actually the only(?) Rogue beer that I thought was decent.
