In the brewing process, a little creativity can help develop unique beer flavors. Everything from peppercorns to chocolate to pumpkin can give a pilsner or stout its stand-out character.
But can you take creativity too far?
Inspired by the creation of a beer made from bull testacles, Men’s Health created a list of extreme beers that are more palatable for your common bar-goer.
Our favorite from the list is Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus Bier, a brew created in Eggenberg Castle in Austria every December 6—the day of Saint Nicholas in Europe. The recipe dates back to 1980, and is still a popular seasonal beer today. Even though it’s a rare beer, it’s easy to find in Austria and will only run you $5-6 per 11-ounce bottle.
Take a gander at the full list below and then visit the original article to read the full descriptions.
