    I poured a bottle of wee-heavy in a glass and a millipede looking bug was floating in my beer. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm guessing it's still safe to drink?

    After being exposed to so much alcohol he must have been leggless.

    A millipede is more advanced, evolutionarily speaking, than a slug.


    Guys....they're evolving!

    Try washing your glass before you pour refreshing beer into it next time.

    Nice to see I'm not the only one who remembers that episode.


    To the opening poster: are you sure it wasn't yeast sediment?

    That millipede has good taste in beer.

    Maybe it was a confused/lost tequila worm?

    I don't want to be the wet blanket here but if it really was a bug; I would complain to the brewer. Pics and a terse admonishment to watch the sanitary conditions on the bottling line. That's not a good and it's not funny. You should have another beer on them.
