Japanese Micro Brewery Sells Elepahnt Poop Beer

[Initech]

You’ve likely heard of coffee made from beans semi-digested by cats, but the beer industry wanted in on the action as well. Instead of cats, however, Sankt Gallen Brewery used beans found in elephant poop to create Un, Kono Kuro.

Forget the weird fruits, obscure extracts, and other questionable ingredients brewers have used in the past. This tops the list of weirdest ingredients. It’s somehow even more odd than Wynkoop using actual bull testicles. They’re so proud of the process that they actually put a picture of an elephant taking a dump on the label. So how does it taste? As with many seemingly ridiculous ideas, it somehow worked out well.


When I poured it into a glass the coffee-like aroma continued to build it was relaxing like an easy Sunday morning. After taking my first sip there was an initial bitterness that got washed over by a wave of sweetness. Following that, a mellow body rolled in and spread out through my mouth.

I like coffee beer but this one seems a bit too weird even for my tastes.

1. There are breweries using the civet cat coffee in beer

Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/mikkeller-beer-geek-brunch-weasel/97034/

De Molen Kopi Loewak http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/de-molen-kopi-loewak-coffee-stout-2011-/155737/

I have to admit that beer made with civet cat coffee is to pricey and too outlandish even for my tastes.
