No... just NO.

aww, it didn't like my ad-blocker.

I did read something about how edible glitter is making its way into craft beer.

Not in favor of it, but not horribly opposed to it. I'd rather see GMO yeast that glow green in the dark. Can you imagine that every St. Patrick's day?

You haven't seen the "Show Me Your Glitter" thread yet?

 

[kh54s10]

No thanks!!!

 

[bronzdragon]

Marketing gimmick that will probably turn out to get someone sick. I've got an idea...how about just make good beer and treat people good and they will continue to come back to buy beer at your brewery and spread the word? Or is that too old fashioned. /cheers

Glitter multiplies faster than rabbits. At least rabbits are sexual .. glitter is single cell asexual. It never goes away.

Here is someone that used some edible glitter:

The end result looked really trippy

 

[FloppyKnockers]

Real men don't use edible glitter. It's slivers of glass and metal shavings or nothing.

 

[Shwagger]

Hipsters. Along the lines of neipa in my book.

 

[smurfjuice]

Floccin' glitter... really!!!!

 

[beermanpete]

No thanks. Much like the gold in Goldschlager it does not improve the product or the experience.

 

[Bostrows128]

ChopandBrew youtube did something like this with their Snozz project...

I'm gonna pretend I didn't even stumble into this thread...

 

[S-Met]

I think its great, super excited. Now we all have an excuse:

"No babe, I wasn't at the strip club again, I had to pick up a bag af glitter from the lhbs,"
or,
"Tim from work spilled his glitter beer on me again."

 

[PADave]

If you drink enough of these, will your poo sparkle?

 

[madscientist451]

No, but maybe your pee will....

Glitter - the herpes of the craft world. You can never get rid of that stuff. Now in beer? Just wrong...... so wrong........

 

[gunhaus]

If you drink this beer, and pee glitter in the snow in fancy designs - can you call it art? IF so can you get a grant and charge admission?

Really - if it makes you happy what the heck! I can't see that it is any more silly than the assorted crazes for the latest strawberry-kumquat-orange peel- chocolate frosted flakes-clear stout-quadruple dark IPA -7000 IBU - monkey liver, no grain all grain toenail ale concoctions that so titillate from week to week! It it pleases you then proceed!

^ don't forget the stag-semen stout from New Zealand.

 

[gunhaus]

MMMMMMmmmmmmm

 

[501irishred]

Bring back any memories? Been in my cabinet since a party I had in the 90’s, just can’t make myself drink it, and dumping out alcohol.... well..... I’ve had it since the 90’s.

 

[WitShadow]

Yes... Memories of B52s, Kamikazes, sex on a beach, Jager Bombs, Peach Schnapps, Pearl Jam, Public Enemy, reckless abandon ... and goatees. That’s also when the cargo shorts fad started so if you’re still wearing those it might be time to move on (but they’re so comfortable and functional!)

It is in “craft” beer

 

[JKeeton23]

If it gets my wife to want to drink beer, then I'll be willing to look away. [emoji45]

 

[Santo]

My grandfather will slap my face if I show up with glitter beer.

Dammit, I had.

Are these guys using artisanal hand made glitter or the imported from who knows where stuff you buy at office depot?

 

[Widukind]

So? Can’t you guys find something more important to complain about? I though real men don’t bitch and moan about minor things that don’t affect them.

We live, and then someday we die. If someone wants to use glitter, why let it even slightly bother you?



Maybe I don’t have a sense of humour...

 

[ProblemChild]

My grandfather will slap my face if I show up with glitter beer.

Would be great entertainment value though - Hey Grandpa! Wait till you see this beer I just picked up for you! Probably be fuming all day. Then drink one in front of him. Grin, watch him be uncomfortable. Tell him how good it is.

 

[S-Met]

I don't know about artisanal, but it is food-grade glitter - not that I know what constitutes "food-grade glitter." But it isn't from office depot or leftovers from an egg coloring set.

As it isn't the same as stripper-glitter, I do wonder if it leaves behind the same trail of shame.

If mine was was still here to enjoy a beer with me, I doubt he'd get violent. He'd rarely get angry or even curse - but he'd get even.
Want some candy?
He'd give you some gadfersaken saltwater taffy and then watch you drink a gallon of water afterward. I once caught him sneaking a few soup beans to my Uncle's German shorthair, knowing they'd complained of her being nervous and gassy during a car ride.
