Top 10 Weirdest Beers In The World of All Time
 |
Up until the latter part of the 20th century, brewers followed the rules and adhered to traditional beer styles. It was considered taboo to brew with anything other than water, hops, malt and yeast. In fact, this was the law of the land according to Reinheitsgebot, the German Beer Purity Law of 1516. When the American craft brewing renaissance finally sprouted in the 1990s, imbibers were ready for more weird, adventurous beers.
Today, breweries continue to take beer in exciting new directions, experimenting with ingredients never used before—including beers brewed with fruit, coffee and even peanut butter.

Take your Lambic beers up a notch with the addition of fruit. This classic cherry version is another entrant that has history rather than contemporary styling on its side. It’s an acquired taste for some, tart and sour, but try it on a hot summer day – you'll come around.
Traditionally, kriek is made by breweries in and around Brussels using lambic beer to which sour cherries (with the pits) are added. A lambic is a sour and dry Belgian beer, fermented spontaneously with airborne yeast said to be native to Brussels; the presence of cherries (or raspberries) predates the almost universal use of hops as a flavoring in beer. A traditional kriek made from a lambic base beer is sour and dry as well. The cherries are left in for a period of several months, causing a refermentation of the additional sugar. Typically no sugar will be left so there will be a fruit flavour without sweetness. There will be a further maturation process after the cherries are removed.
More recently, some lambic brewers have added sugar to the final product of their fruit beers, in order to make them less intense and more approachable to a wider audience. They also use cherry juice rather than whole cherries and are matured for much shorter periods.
Framboise is a related, less traditional Belgian beer, fermented with raspberries instead of sour cherries. Kriek is also related to gueuze, which is not a fruit beer but is also based on refermented lambic beer. Some breweries, like Liefmans, make "kriek" beers based on oud bruin beer instead of lambic.
9. Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout – Wynkoop Brewing Company, USA

The oysters in question here are actually bull’s testicles. Let that sink in for a minute… just as the testicles did into the mash for this beer. This heavy-duty stout is on tap all-year-round (and also in a can). Bottoms up!
A meaty foreign-style stout, Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout is made with Colorado base malts, roasted barley, seven specialty malts, Styrian Goldings hops, and 25 pounds of freshly sliced and roasted bull testicles.
Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout is an assertive, viscous stout with a rich brown/black color, a luscious mouthfeel and deep flavors of chocolate, espresso and nuts. The beer sports a savory, umami-like note and a roasty dry finish.
Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout is 7.5% ABV and 3 BPBs. (That’s balls per barrel.)
The beer came to life last fall after the enthusiastic response to our 2012 April Fools Day spoof video in which we claimed to have made the beer. I got the video joke idea and wrote up the script after sampling a traditional oyster stout (made with ocean-grown kind) by the fine folks at Odell Brewing.
8. Marrickville Pork Roll – Batch Brewing Co, Australia

In a suburb of Sydney known for a strong Vietnamese community comes a beer that wears its local heart on its weird sleeve. A Vietnamese Pork Roll complete with processed pork meats, coriander, carrot and chilli has lent its ingredients to this beer – and it does just what it says on the tin!
7. Hvalur 2 – Brugghús Steðji, Iceland

This beer is specially brewed for the Icelandic midwinter festival called "Þorri" (pronounced 'Thorri'). What makes this beer special is its ingredients: Pure Icelandic water, malted barley, hops...and sheep dung-smoked whale testicles. Yes...testicles. Icelanders have used dry sheep dung for smoking for centuries, due to a lack of trees on the island. In creating this beer, we chose to prepare the whale testicles in a similar manner, by smoking the meat before using it in the brew. This gives the beer an excellent smoked taste, as well as imparting a unique flavour to the beer....

Most beer comes in at around 5% alcohol. A big Belgian might come in at 9%, maybe 10% … the weirdness here doesn’t come from a bodily fluid or seafood item – it comes from having 67% alcohol. No session ale, a single shot of the spirit-like brew should be enough.
5. Ballast Point Victory at Sea Imperial Porter

Origin: San Diego, CA, U.S.A.
Beer type: Porter, Imperial Porter
Price: $8 for 22 oz.
ABV: 10%
Brewed by: Ballast Point Brewing Co.
Ever have to decide whether to perk up with some coffee or chill out with a beer? Enjoy both in a Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter.
Freshly brewed Caffe Calabria coffee from San Diego is added to this hybrid after a 24-hour cold extraction process is employed to coax out the java’s finest flavors. Don’t be scared off by its label, which sports a skeleton manning the steering wheel of a ship during a squall, or its hefty amount of alcohol. (The imagery conjures up Day of the Dead celebrations, doesn’t it?)
Although this porter weighs in at 10 percent, the alcohol is well hidden. It’s easy to drink, and the addition of pure vanilla extract adds a pleasant complement to the dark roasted goodness, with caramel characteristics from the dark grain thrown into the mix of flavors.
4. Elgood’s Coolship Sour Mango Ale

Origin: Wisbech, U.K.
Beer type: American Wild Ale
Price: £3.49 for 330 ml
ABV: 5%
Brewed by: Elgood’s Brewery
The first thing that qualifies this beer as strange is that it’s a sour brew from a traditional brewery in England, a country certainly not known for sour brews or tropical fruit such as mango.
Formerly known as Original Sour, this beer is brewed using copper coolships (fermentation vessels dating from the 1920s), which are used to cool the wort overnight and inoculate it with a healthy mix of microbes. Fermentation and maturation then occurs for the next nine to 12 months in stainless steel tanks to which oak and chestnut chips have been added. This enables the naturally occurring wild yeasts and mango concentrate to bring forth a bright tartness offset by sweet, tropical fruity flavor along with depth and complexity.
Fun fact: Elgood’s Brewery is family-owned and situated in the heart of Fen country in Cambridgeshire, England. Established in 1795, it is one of the first classic Georgian breweries to be built outside London.
3. Flying Dog Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout

Origin: Frederick, MD, U.S.A.
Beer type: Stout, English Stout
Price: $10 for six-pack 12 oz.
ABV: 5.5%
Brewed by: Flying Dog Brewing Co.
The English tradition of pairing beer and oysters has been Americanized by the Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick, Maryland, who put the oysters right into the beer itself.
Rappahannock River oysters harvested in the region are used, which add a very subtle, salty flavor in the aftertaste. This stout is richly flavored due to additions of roasted barley and chocolate rye malts, with notes of chocolate, roast and coffee. The brewery is known for its dog-themed names and artwork; this beer’s logo features a dog wearing a dress, pearl necklace and lipstick.
Originally released as a limited edition beer in 2011, it’s now produced and sold year-round. Here’s to drinking to a good cause: proceeds from the sale of this beer benefit the Oyster Recovery Partnership of the Chesapeake Bay, proving that it feels good to give back.

2. Saturday Morning Cartoons Breakfast Cereal Milk Stout

Origin: Banning, CA, U.S.A.
Beer type: Milk/Sweet Stout
Price: $12 for 22 oz
ABV: 5.76%
Brewed by: Brew Rebellion
The adventurous brewers at Brew Rebellion in Banning, California, are known for making unusual concoctions and this brew highlights none other than Fruity Pebbles cereal.
Beer for breakfast? Why didn’t we think of that! The easy-drinking stout begins with flavors of roasted malt and chocolate before finishing with a mélange of fruity flakes. The use of lactose adds a sweet and milky creaminess that isn’t unlike a bowl of sweet cereal.
They’ve also produced additional adult-style takes on childhood nostalgia with Cinnamon Breakfast Cereal Milk Stout, Chocolaty Cereal Milk Stout and Apple Cinnamon Cereal Milk Stout.
1. Southern Tier Brewing Co. Thick Mint

Origin: Lakewood, NY, U.S.A.
Beer type: American Double, Imperial Stout
Price: $19 for 4-pack 12 oz
ABV: 10%
Brewed by: Southern Tier Brewing Co.
While not sanctioned by the Girl Scouts for obvious reasons, this latest creation is inspired by one of the organization’s most popular cookies: Thin Mint.
This brewery out of Lakewood, New York is renowned for its Blackwater Series of beers that mimic popular desserts—Creme Brûlée, Choklat Oranj, Salted Caramel and Choklat.
The brew balances mint and chocolate as roasty malts blend with notes of dark chocolate, sweet mint and caramel. Brewed with additions of cocoa nibs and mint, it’s not overly sweet but will still give you the impression of drinking a cookie.
Enjoy it as an after-dinner drink and pair it with vanilla ice cream or shortbread cookies.
