I read about an Icelandic brewery that’s making a smoked beer full of whale balls.

When I researched further, I learned that the oceanic testicles were smoked with sheep shit. Brewing with outrageous ingredients is a thing of late. You could even call it gimmicky. I haven’t had the chance to smoke any whale balls as a gypsy brewer, so I have no idea if it would taste weird.

I myself have made gimmicks, like beer made with frozen pizza and money. I knew the cash wasn’t going to contribute anything to the flavor, so it wasn’t like we added anything that might have fucked up the beer.

I like gimmicks, but don’t do a gimmick and make a beer that ends up not being good because of the gimmick. But if you know it might actually taste good, why not smoke your ingredients with sheep shit? Nobody has tried that before. It could be a good thing.
