    So I'm sitting here drinking a free beer, which is the best kind of beer, and I'm reading the label. Among the several strange ingredients which include: butternut squash, sweet potatoes, bourbon barrel aged honey staves, and orange peel, one ingredient in particular stand out to me. This beer was aged over $30,000 worth of diamonds! WTF?!?!

    What other beers have y'all had that have weird age treatments? Are there any beers that are more ridiculous than that? One other that comes to mind is Evil Twin's Big Ass Money Stout, which was aged over frozen pizza and actual money.

    This is the gimmicky kind of bullshit that discredits craft brew and makes a joke of it.

    Retail store shelves & distributors' pallet racks - unfortunately both too common to be called "weird" at this point.

    Novelty beer is almost as bad as sexist labels and beer names.

    And hop puns. How could I forget them?

    Yepp. Can confirm.
    It's hit a few bars here, not much outside Suntrust. Definitely gimmicky. Which works considering where it's sold. I bought one so guess I got duped! Wasn't anything special. I'd rather keep my extra 2.3% and get a Hopsecutioner.

    Ohhhhhh burn! :wink:

    I don't think it was aged on it, but Brugghús Steðja brewed a beer - Hvalur 2 - using whale testicles and smoked malts that were smoked over sheep dung (which is how they usually smoke malts - so thats not a gimmick).
