Glitter beer

[Angry Floof]

Glitter beer is popping up at breweries all over the country. It's mesmerizing to behold.

As reported by Munchies, breweries across the country are employing the use of edible glitter to give their beers an iridescent, surreal gleam that, for lack of a better description, sort of looks like unicorn pee, but in the best possible way.

Just heard them talking about this on Bob and Tom yesterday. Hilarity ensued. Speculation that Chick would get glitter in his mustache and look like a blew a unicorn. Glitter bomb in the toilet the next morning.

Ordinarily, this is exactly the kind of thing that will turn me into a curmudgeon and start me on a rant about fads in the craft brew industry, but at this point I'll drink almost any craft beer that isn't an IPA. May sweet zombie Jesus buttfuck me, but I am sick and fucking tired of every fucking craft beer being a fucking IPA. Enough with the fucking IPAs already.

So if it's not another fucking IPA, fucking glitter me up. I don't care.

Just what are these glitters made of? Are we sure there won't be health or environmental effects?

What, greater health and environmental effects than those currently caused by consuming non-glitter beers? It seems highly implausible. Any additional health or environmental effect due to this beer is more likely to result from increases in beer consumption in response to the gimmick than from the actual additive.

Your concern reminds me of the recent scare about possible Glyphosate residue in wine - Yes, by all means worry about possibly consuming a few parts per billion of a possible carcinogen, while deliberately consuming 140,000,000 parts per billion of a known carcinogen.

Apparently, the answer is: it varies.

So is this glitter beer the poor man's Goldschläger^*?

Or motorboated a stripper.

^* actually the gold, while real, is beaten so thin the flakes are worth only about 50 cents.

I actually like IPAs, so do pass them along.

Well, you brew your own, some of us don't have that opportunity, so stop with the good science, you're keeping wine prices up.

 

[LordKiran]

Reminds me of that purple glitter vodka from a while back.

Ew. No.

I will not drink Goldschlager. It's ludicrously ostentatious pablum for dimwits who want to pretend to be sophisticated.

You! You are the [bad word] cause of this [bad word] fad! [Bad word]! May your children listen to country and western "music"!
