Those who really enjoy ramen will be excited to hear of the new Cup O' Beer from the Collective Brewing Project in Texas as a new way to enjoy the flavor of the favored noodle dish. The beer has been brewed with 55 pounds of real ramen noodles along with lime zest, ginger, seaweed-cured sea salt and lemongrass in order to balance out the starchy beer.
The Cup O' Beer ramen noodle beer is reported to have a light, tart flavor that is accented with a briny kick with lime, while tasting quintessentially different from any beer you've tried before. The beer is available at the brewery's Fort Worth draft room along with several other locations in Texas.
