I love beer, but….

.

Over the years I’ve tried all kinds of crazy beers.

Pine needle stout? Yes.

Earl Grey Tea IPA? Sure.

Maple syrup porter? You bet.

Banana and clove Hefeweizen? Absolutely, it was delicious.

Heck, I even tried a beer made from gummy bears… though I instantly regretted it.

Can’t say the pesto looks very appetizing.

Or whatever the heck that is. If I didn’t know better I’d say marinated dog poo on rice.

Well, to each their own. But take my word for it, it is popular.

I have no idea what that says, but yeah. I’m still going to pass.
