What a load of bollocks

I particularly enjoyed the IBD magazine this month, though one article did make me wince. There's a three page feature on Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout, a beer made with bull's testicles.

You may find it difficult to swallow but apparently it's real and available in twin packs. It seems this seminal beer started out as an April fool but then they decided to make it for real. The article even shows the testicles being sliced up for roasting before they go in the beer. Water, malt, hops, yeast and bollocks: even when he was taking the piss Stuart Howe didn't go that far. Surely this is the ultimate in terms of bizarre things put in beer?

  1. I dunno, Stuart's new woodlice beer must give it a run for its money...
