Weirdest Beer Flavors That Are Real

Bacon and Maple Syrup

Let's vote, does EVERYTHING taste better with bacon? Rogue an Oregon brewery, thinks so and by naming it, Voodoo Doughnut they admit it's a bold idea! This Bacon Maple Ale features applewood-smoked bacon and maple syrup for rogue celebratory brunches. BOLD FLAVORS.

Prickly Pear

Refreshing on hot summer days is Tex Mex Siesta Prickly Pear Lager! Made with local Texan fruits and with what the Siesta brewery says is an extra boost of carbonation, it's a super satisfying bubbly way to quench a thirst!

Wine

If you can’t decide between wine or beer, why not have both? Delaware’s Dogfish Head brew, Noble Rot ferments the sugars from two types of wine grapes, creating a beer with a white wine body and a delightful tart finish. It's highly recommended served with shellfish or Gouda. Or Spam.

Oatmeal

Imagine this blend: English roasted barley, Belgian chocolate and flaked oats.HEAVEN??? Austin’s Craft Pride brewery's, Independence Convict Hill Oatmeal Stout has such a rich and creamy body that it's almost a meal. The beer began as a seasonal release, but was so popular it's now available year-round!

Yeasty Hornet's Abdomen (unclear what this is)

It hard to fathom, but some super smart fellow in Rome discovered that the yeast found in a hornet’s abdomen survives and is stored for long periods of time. The jump to beer is a mystery but the result is the golden Birra Calabrona made by New York City’s Eataly and Dogfish Head brewers. The beer has spicy notes of myrhh resin, “which produces a very rich, old world perfume.”

Banana Bread

British based Wells Young’s Brewing Company offers a light beer with flavors of subtle banana, hints of lemon, and peppery hops. It's a sweet dessert beer and can stand alone or wonderfully paired alongside a savory roast pork supper.

Pizza

Pizza is kinda like bacon, it's hard not to find anyone who doesn't savor the flavor, but adding it to hops is simply ingenious! Why wait for the pizza to be delivered while watching the Ball game, bottoms-up now you can drink it!

Chipotle (no relation with the authentic mex cuisine restaurant)

Roasted chipotle peppers in Rogue's Chipotle Ale produces a popping spicy chile flavor within a deep golden ale blend of malty, smoky aromas finished with a smooth, crisp flavor. The brew's recipe is dedicated to Spanish author Juan de la Cueva who, in 1575, wrote about a Mexican dish featuring seedless chipotles with beer.

Peanut Butter & Coffee

Served on tap at the Willoughby Brewing Company, is their award winning Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter. Does coffee and Reese's Peanut Butter Cup excite you? If so, it's guaranteed you'll find this 5% alcohol port beverage smooth and literally addicting!

Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout

Oysters are made extra special when complimented alongside chilled beer. Now the Wynkoop Brewing Company has created the "ballsiest canned beer in the world," by cooking up a rich stout with Rocky Mountain oysters (better known as bull testicles)! The result is a luscious chocolaty smooth malt with roasted espresso and nutty notes.

Chocolate Milk

"Got Chocolate Milk Stout?" Colorado’s Odell Brewing has, and it's Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout. Their recipe is brewed milk sugar and milk chocolate, alongside roasted malt with hints of vanilla. The brewer says, "the rich flavor and creamy mouthfeel creates a beer that is reminiscent of a glass of chocolate milk." Cheers to childhood memories!

Spirulina Wit

Are you seeking a new celebratory brew for St. Patrick's Day? Freetail Brewing Company's Spirulina Wilt blended into its Rye Wit the vitamin-rich, emerald-green algae called spirulina. The algae adds aromatic notes of tropical fruit and the bonus of "health benefits"!

Key Lime Pie

The Gold Medal winner at the 2010 Great American Beer Festival that satisfied everyone's sweet tooth is, Shorts Brewing Company’s Key Lime Pie. It's prominent sweet and tart flavors are made with fresh limes, milk sugar, graham crackers and marshmallow fluff.

Spicy Vegetables

Ghost Face Killah by Twisted Pine Brewery is bound to make you smile! The label claims it to be the "hottest beer this side of hell" while concluding with "keep away from children and the tepid of tongue". The flavors are a blend of hot peppers and vegetables with aromatic earthy and fruity notes. If you like a spicy food or Tabasco, you'll enjoy this crisp and fiery brew.

Civet Cat Poo

Perhaps it's better to put the "journey" of this brew's main ingredient (coffee bean) out of your mind, but we know it can't be avoided so here it is: Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel brew uses a coffee bean delicacy that involves it passing through the gut of the civet cat, after which it's cleaned, sun-dried and roasted. The result is a complex beer of carmel and dark chocolate flavors, with notes of smokiness, vanilla and subtle coffee.
