Fancy some banana beer? The wackiest pint flavours to savour this Beer Day

Is a beer your go-to order when heading out to a bar? Well you can’t really call yourself a true-blue beer enthusiast unless you are willing to at least try and savour some of the craziest concoctions out there in the market. From the odd banana beer to the deadly chilli pepper pint, these are some of the most interesting flavours you could consider dabbling with today, in ode to your love for beer.
Banana beer is straightforward. It’s a heady concoction made from fermented, mashed bananas. The alcohol content for this can vary anywhere between 5 per cent to 15 per cent. The roots for this interesting flavour profile actually go back to East Africa with the method having been perfected over time.
Snake venom beer is touted to be among the strongest beers in the world, if not the strongest. If you believe you have a good drinking capacity, consider the 67.5 per-cent ABV it boasts of. Enough said.
This sadistic concoction has been rightly named ‘Ghostface Killah’, simply for how deadly the ingredient list seems. With wheat ale as base, Ghostface has ghost pepper, serrano, jalapeno, habanero, Fresno, and Anaheim peppers. Now just try and imagine this with the fizzy kick of a cold swig of the bottle. ‘Killah’ we say!
Right off the bat, this one’s a misnomer and there’s a little bit of a history to it. Up until the 19th century, all beers had a meaty taste to them owing to the barley for the beer being dried over open flames. The smoke is what would cultivate this flavour profile. As the method of brewing beer evolved to omit the smoke, the bacon-y feel too exited the beer scene. However, some breweries still honour the original method, creating something like time capsules in bottles.
If the list above was a little too crazy for your taste, you can always go the sweeter route. In enters the Lucky Charms beer. The exciting flavour profile comprises of literal marshmallows and cereal. As a matter of fact, this is the perfect antidote to the morning-after for a night of drinking.
Weekend vibes anyone?
