    “Veos, a processing company from Wingene in West Flanders, has celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special brew. Wingene is the capital of Flemish pig-rearing and appropriately Veos’s birthday beer was made from pig's blood.”

    Yet another example of "Would you drink a beer made with water that originated from (take your pick) your shower/septic/urine/farmland cow pond, etc., or any other source you would not normally drink from without it being properly processed and purified."

    I’ll pass. The gimmick I want for my beer is for it to taste amazing.

    if I’m reading the article correctly, it’s not made from pigs blood, it’s made from water that is reclaimed from pigs blood. Pretty big difference between those two things to me.

    You’re supposed to eat the pig and drink the beer.

    I'm out.
    Still out. Might make a fine pairing with chit'lin's, though. What could possibly go wrong? :rolling_eyes:

    I'd be in. I really don't see a problem. I've heard of the tech company before. I also ate Portuguese blood sausage for years and this beer using purified water from an unusual source is nowhere near that by any stretch. Pretty impressive volume of potable water made in a day, too. Hopefully they (Veos) can make it all an economically viable business.

    Yeah man. Mayhem was WILD. Burning churches, eating parts of a band members brain after they committed suicide, making necklaces out of the skull fragments, using the suicide scene picture as an album cover and of course murder.

    Yeah, burning down 1000 year old churches was just the tip of the iceberg. I think Hank from Turbonegro’s story about them giving up on the death metal antics was hilarious.
