I Don’t Care If It IS the Best Thing Since the Invention of Beer . . .
January 3rd, 2013
. . . my answer is still, “Uh, no thanks.”
Wynkoop Brewing Company’s Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout will now be sold nationwide in cans–available in (what else?) two-packs starting this month.
No, I’m not kidding. And yes: it is indeed flavored with what its name implies.
Edited to add: Here’s the April Fool’s Joke video that started this whole brew-haha – which later turned serious. Enjoy.

Governor Hickenlooper started that brewery.
I don’t like beer anyway, I’m a wine drinker, but we had Rocky Mountain Oysters at The Fort last weekend and they were pretty good. Buffalo tongue was great too.

Hmm, mountain oyster flavored beer? Maybe it’s like antabuse, it’ll make you sick, not drunk?

Common Sense: to each his/her own. For me, mountain oysters fall into the same category as chitlins: only if I’m literally starving.

Yummmm… Nobody tell TSO.

I’m not gonna lie…
After the first 6 beers, I’ll drink anything.

I don’t like thinking about testicles other than my own, I will take a pass, thank you very much.

Attempting to clean up the first thoughts that came to mind here, but so far no success.
Is it required that…nope that won’t work.
What if…nope. that won’t work either.
Let’s just leave it that I will join those who are not swallowing, uh, er, uh, er, this brew.

That shit. Ain’t. Right.

Sheep are good for several things: wool, keeping the lawn short, and wolf bait.
Oh, yeah, they used to keep my dog Annie busy. She was a border collie, acted on her own instincts when herding them. Smart dog.

Somwhere there must be a lot of bulls singing alto.

I think you need to watch the vid, Ex-PH2. It ain’t sheep that are involved. (smile)

@3 – they actually chop them up fairly small and bread them so it’s like popcorn chicken. You just have to get around the idea of them

Common Sense: same is true for chitlins, or so I’ve been told.
Sorry, but you’re not changing my mind about either. Short of literal starvation, it will be a cold day in hell before I eat either. (smile)

Hondo – there are soooo many things to consume out there that I already know are good, and so little time to get around to them all that I must concur with you. Why force myself to consume that which sounds utterly disgusting? If others want to, fine with me, but I will stick to what I already know to be wonderful.

Screw it–considering some of the stuff I’ve eaten on some of the places I’ve been, no huge deal.
And that’s just the stuff I KNEW about.
January 3rd, 2013 at 10:41 pm
Fuck that. NOOOOOOOO way!

It’s not April, so this must be from the duffelblog right?

Sparky. You realize that this makes you a nut muncher. Hey, correct me if I’m wrong.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:45 pm
Like I said, if that’s the worst thing I ever ate…(and it isn’t.)
Balut. For starters.

I’ll eat chicken gizzards. The other sweetmeats…I’ll pass. Thanks.
