The craft beer industry is known to get creative, fearlessly going where other industries are afraid to. Usually, that means new ways of brewing or tasty and unique flavors. It can also mean things get a little weird, whether it's infusing beer with a cereal flavor, creating a fried chicken-inspired brew, or developing a stout made with goose poop.
Admittedly, the former two sound way more enticing than the latter. That didn't stop Ant Brew, a Finnish microbrewery, from going there anyway. The company's Wasted Potential Imperial Stout was inspired by the city of Lahti, where the brewery is based. Ant Brew created its...innovative...new beer in celebration of Lahti being named the European Green Capital 2021 and having a "wasteless circular economy," per a press release.
"The poop is used in a food-safe way to smoke malt to create a unique stout beer," according to an announcement from Ant Brew. "The goose droppings are gathered from local parks, where geese are causing a messy problem. Now, the local parks get cleaner and the special edition summer beverages are perfect for a picnic in the park—a true two birds with one stone type of solution."

Does this beer give you the . . . runs?
Job interview.
Boss: What makes you think you are experienced enough and qualified to collect goose droppings?
Applicant: Two years on the US Capitol cleaning crew behind Rep. Jerry Nadler.
Boss: Hired.
But I am not a big fan of beer either. I do like chocolate of the bitter darker variety and pizza as long as it doesn't have weird ingredients like pineapple and corn on it.
That’s why I drink wine-—
Seldom think of Finland.
It did figure in this bathroom joke:
When you have to go you’re Russian.
While there European.
And finally Finnish.
As always, apologies to people with good taste and sophistication.
I prefer kopi luwak.
Perhaps they meant made by Schlitz
Why do you live?…
hopefully word of this doesn’t spread to san fransickos...
No shortage of raw material in the parks where I go...
nothing wrong with original formula Schlitz

Three birds with one stone, if they would let you pee in that same park.
