When you think of beer, it’s not uncommon to imagine sipping on a perfectly frothy gold-coloured ale or even a delicious dark stout. What you might not imagine is your refreshing beer taking on a different flavour. Some of the most common beer flavours on the market include lemon, apple, cherry, strawberry, and there are even chocolate beers. These are not the strangest of them all, however. There are plenty of other odd varieties that are often so strange that you simply have to indulge in a sip or two!
Avocado flavoured beer was first invented for the Avocado festival and it has managed to stick around for quite a while despite the odd combination. Coconut curry beer is one surprising combination. The flavours you will find in a single pint include coconut, cayenne pepper, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, lime leaf, and more!
Oyster Stout is brewed along with sweetwater oyster shells in order to give the stout that salty taste. Seaweed ale is made with tradition and older brewing methods at heart. When you sip on this brew, you will know just what it was like to enjoy a beer brewed in alehouses along the Scottish coast.
Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout does not actually involve oysters in any way, shape, or form. This stout is, in fact, brewed with bull testicles. Not exactly everyone’s idea of a drink that will sit well with them, but others have definitely acquired the taste.
Bacon Maple Ale, as the name suggests, infuses the flavour of the ale with that of salty bacon and sweet maple syrup to create an interesting combination. If you’re more on the savoury side, Pizza Beer might be more to your liking. You will detect hints of tomato, garlic, basil, oregano, and pizza crust with every sip. This beer flavour might seem odd to some, but considering how many people enjoy a cold beer with their pizza, it’s somewhat easier to comprehend.
Even if you are set on your favourite beer no matter what, there’s no harm in trying and testing a few fun flavours. You never know, you could be pleasantly surprised and that “strange” beer could become your new favourite!
