Is it one of the great alcoholic innovations of the 21st century or an illegal way to serve beer? Frank Morales, the owner of the Rustico Restaurant in Alexandria, is selling the adult frozen treats in flavors like Raspbeer-y and Fudgesicle. They cost $4 for the 6-ounce size, shaped like a traditional Popsicle, and $6 for a larger beer cone.
But the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control says the beersicles run afoul of rules governing the serving and pouring of beer.

Sounds tasty, but can you put a head on it?
Frosty barley pop!
Beer pingy.
Popsicles!
It would have to be pretty cold to freeze the alcohol in the beer.
Put a bottle or can of beer in the freezer and it will freeze solid without a problem. Most beers average 4-5% by volume (abv).
“Special Agent Philip Disharoon said the law requires beer to be served in its original container, or served immediately to a customer once it is poured from its original container.”
Yes Sir special agent.
Disharoon is a maroon.
Sounds like the Special Agent knows his stuff when it comes to proper “beer containment”.
“Disharoon is a maroon.”
Probably needs a beer.
Government intervention at it’s finest. Smile as you pass the traffic lights in Richmond, and give them the one finger wave.
There’s nothing quite like mandatory state-run liquor stores, as in Virginia. You get all the bad things about having a liquor store in your neighborhood (drunks, etc.) but you also get store clerks with the skill and vigor of a typical government bureaucrat, high prices, AND a crappy selection! It’s a perfect storm!
Sometimes I miss South Carolina and booze stores with giant red dots all over them.

I heard about this rule. Why can’t you just open the can of beer, stick a popsicle stick in there, and freeze it? Just use an Exacto-knife to slice away the top of the can, so you can remove the popsicle!

Beer Ping!
