Broaden Your Horizons With These Unique Brews

The Best Weird Craft Beer Flavors

Have you tried bacon maple ale? Or a manlier brew made from bull testicles? Thanks to the craft beer renaissance, there are no limits on what a brewer can throw into his brew kettle, and some seek to boldly go where no man has gone before. Today's brewers are talented enough to transform pretty much any flavor into a palatable brew. The trick to crafting a superior "weird beer," though, is to make an unusual ingredient shine while still delivering real beer characteristics. Here's our compilation of some of the world's most interesting beer creations made with weird flavors and un-beer-like ingredients that your daddy never would have allowed in his glass, such as chili peppers, maple, mint, oysters, bacon, bananas, coffee, mustard and even bull testicles.
