BeerBorg

anybody else seen this one wonder what the hell they fermented the beer in?

RedBEERd sent that link to me earlier today. I thought I had also heard they are looking at the containers as the culprit but were not sure.
That's scary stuff.

What I am about to say is probably in bad taste....but, oh well. Was it Ebola Beer?

What I saw said the beer had been poisoned with crocodile bile.

Saw that this morning on the bookface. Crazy!

Wow that is scary. It would be interesting to see what the cause was.

I've seen an article that states that people that drank the beer earlier were fine but those that drank it later got sick. Also that the type of "poison" (if any) that was added is speculation at this time. Samples were sent out for testing with the results forthcoming (per the articles). There should be an update as quite a few news sources have run stories.

crocodile bile is what they are claiming was added...ick no I really meant ICK!!! How do you even think of something like that???

It should be pretty much impossible to get sick from properly fermented beer (anything above 2% abv and/or soured beer that used to be 2% abv before acetobacter ate the alcahol). The alcohol and/or PH changes eliminate pathogens. That's why fermentation is a magic, pre-refrigeration preservation method. It might taste like shit but it shouldn't make you sick. So tampering seems likely to me.

Yea...really. And after you actually think of it, how do you go about getting it???

That's been a subject I have avoided...You just know it's really gross

New house rule:
Don't drink the beer at weddings for forced/arranged marriages.
