4 Out-Of-This-World Beer Flavors

There’s nothing quite as enjoyable as a tall ice-cold glass of your favorite draft beer on a summer day. The cool icy froth and delightful flavors of hops and spices creates the perfect beverage. However, some brewers stray away from the “traditional” beer flavors by infusing their product with some rather unorthodox ingredients.

#1 – Oyster Beer

Yes, there’s actually a beer brewed with natural oyster flavors. Brewed by Flying Dog Ales, Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout is a truly out-of-this world beer with authentic oyster flavors. The company originally offered as a limited edition variety. Due to a surprisingly positive response, however, they changed their tune and are now offering it year round.

#2 – Bacon Beer

Whether it’s chocolate covered bacon, bacon pancakes or bacon-flavored salad dressing, some people take their love for fatty pork to a whole different level. Rouge Ales created a beer designed specifically for people such as this. Their Bacon Maple Ale features authentic applewood-smoked bacon and maple flavorings. According to the company’s official website, Bacon Maple Ale is best paired with “doughnuts and pork.” Now that’s a serious dinner!

#3 – Pig Beer

No, “Pig Beer” isn’t another bacon-flavored beverage. The invention of Right Brain Brewery, Mangalitsa Pit Porter Beer is brewed with leftover pig bones and meat. After mixing it with sugar, the end result in a stunningly delicious combination of salty and sweet flavors. Unfortunately, they only brew this beer once a year, so you’ll have to wait until next summer to mark pig beer off your bucket list.

#4 – Chipotle Beer

Another out-of-this world beer produced by Rouge Ales is their Chipotle Ale. It’s brewed with Great Western 2-Row & Maier Munich malts mixed with real chipotle peppers. For those who enjoy spicy foods, this is one beer you don’t want to miss! From the moment you take the first sip, you’ll instantly notice an explosion of spicy flavors that blends well with the semi-sweet malts and hops.

The truth is that these are just a few of the countless different beer flavors out there. As long as you are willing to step outside your comfort zone, you should give some of them a try. Who knows, you might discover a new favorite among these other-worldy beers? Even if you dislike them, you can brag to your buddies about trying a bacon or oyster-flavored beer, and that makes it all worth it.
