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."

Gain of Function Beer
I wonder when the makers of Budweiser added rice to its beer ingredient list? I figure that has to be a major factor on its horrible taste. For me, I’ll take a beer made according to the German beer purity laws, which even the European Union couldn’t make the Germans from continuing to follow.
$1300/kg for the wild harvested variety! Who is that rich and that stupid at the same time? And how much of that $590/lb price does the person poking around through racoon $#*+ actually collect?
Nope.
Is this a Budweiser product?
>>Let me guess...it tastes like sh!t.
How would anyone know?
>>Well,… that’s disgusting. Remind me to avoid the ale next time I’m in Finland.
Be sure to drink out of a bottle or can, don’t know WHAT was in the draft that filled that glass before it was “yours”.
Kamala means horrible in Finnish.
Good tip… thanks.
Wife said she would try it and think of it as a “ Culinary Experience”- or did she say Colonary? 🤷🏽♂️
Is it Friday already?
