Glow in the Dark Beer!

[Yooper]

I'm making my own tonic since I don't want high fructose corn syrup and lots of sugar, and will see if a glass of wine will glow if I add a bit of my tonic to it. I have to buy more chichona bark first, though!
Thanks for making me smile, Passedpawn! I needed the laugh today.

I just want to know who that hot Oompa Loompa chick is!

Is it sad that I wanted this to be true?

Well played, sir!

Curious why an April Fools joke is dated in March. Darned early birds...
Sidenote... We've made glowing jello shots with Tonic water... is there any reason it can't just be added to the boil either partially or entirely (which should eliminate the CO2 already in it) to get the UV reactive trait?
Second sidenote... Turmeric also glows under a blacklight but glows yellow in color. It sucks for Jello shots but for beer (even though the glow is a little weaker) it may be serviceable.

Re: March. I wanted to have it up for the early morning April 1 readers. So I posted the night before.
Tonic water contains a bunch of other stuff, but your idea is a pretty good one. Though, you'd be diluting the tonic water in your beer and the fluorescence would be reduced similarly.
I'll take a look at turmeric - thanks for that idea. I hope to do some more playing around this weekend with this fluorescence idea.

Hmmm, can't say I'm all that interested in glow in the dark beer. As long as it tastes great and gets me buzzed then I'm happy. Why did I click on this article anyways?

Ouch...I got burned...

I just pour glow sticks into my beer, works great.
And I was ready to try this!!!
Great one.
