Facial Hair-Infused Booze

The Beard Beer Brings a New Ingredient to the Brew

If you happen to be looking for a new twist on the traditional beer, give the Beard Beer a try. Invented by Rogue Ales Brewery located in Newport, Oregon, the brew was inspired by the discovery of yeast cultures inside the brew master's 30-year-old facial hair.

With a desire to find yeast cultures in a new place along with a peculiar sense of humor, the brewery's president Brett Joyce took a swab to his colleague's beard only to be pleasantly surprised. The beer is said to have a spicy taste to it, making it a bit more exciting than the average beer.

A new and definitely interesting take on brewing beer, the Beard Beer by Rogue Ales Brewery is definitely one for the adventurous beer drinker.
