I've been a bartender for many years, and seen many trends come and go (red bull and vodka, anyone?) so this too, shall pass. Glitter poop will soon be a thing on youtube and snapchat. Then the kids will move on to something new.
No... just NO.

I mean... Whatever. I think it's a silly thing to care about. If you don't like it don't order it/make it. Sure it's a gimmick, but it's a gimmick to attract people to craft beers. It's a crazy flooded market and Brewers have to do something to stand out. But I'll admit Yes I think it's kind of dumb too lol
The only question I ask to anyone adding anything to a recipe (beer, cocktail, food, anything) is, "how does the addition improve the end-product?"
I'll sprinkle eggs Benedict with a little paprika at breakfast to break up the monotone sauce without hesitation. However, Green dye to make green beer is not an incentive to me, nor is glittery brew. If it turns out that edible glitter works better than gelatin, irish moss or any other fining agent, I bet we would see many of us picking up a bag of bling.
One could loosly argue that it could be perceived as an improvement to visual presentation; however, this assumes that the only difference between two brews is the glitter. A glitter-bmc vs almost anything else: I'll take almost anything else.

If you drink enough of these, will your poo sparkle?
I was going to ask that but realized I should check to see if it was already a topic of discussion. I guess glitter poo isn't a dream to only me.

Before watching the chop and brew episode I would have agreed but I have to say that glittered snooz beer looked mesmerizing in the glass.

My poo sparkles without glitter, so why add it? A couple 'shrooms are all you need.

Well it looks like Morebeer is jumping onto this bandwagon. Their new Unicorn Fart recipe. I honestly thought it was a weird April fool's joke. But there is actually a recipe there. Who's going to give it a go? Lol.

I saw these articles a while back and can report I tried it in early March for st patricks day using glitter and it was in my basic pale ale recipe. Maybe the type of glitter we used but for 2 days our poop was loaded with glitter, it was too disturbing, after a while I couldn't look just flushed. I dumped the batch. My buddy went to the dr. he said just don't do it again. I think what they need to do is make a special glitter that somehow breaks down in the intestines, maybe then I would try again. Until then I would recommend do NOT just put any old glitter from your junk drawer in there.

If he is you really have to give him credit as that is some pretty high level meta trolling taking into account the amazing variety of topics and posts he's created. Just the texts to his mom and others that were posted to the forum is something I've never seen in 25+ years of using bulletin boards and forums.
The Kato Kaelin look-alike thread and his effort to find a "movie" where supposedly his non-existent ismellweird brewery is mentioned which he believes will propel it to success and profitability,
raw sewage accidentally pumped into a brew kettle by his brewing adviser Pedro and their clamorous reaction which caused his next door neighbor cop to come investigate--enough said about that,
cupcake stout made with pounds of actual strawberry cupcakes (with icing!) as a first ever homebrewed beer which scored a 44 in his first ever hombrew contest entered,
wanting to learn to cooper a bourbon barrel in a few days using possibly treated lumber left over from a front porch renovation,
pvc filter, possibly part of a septic system (a recurring theme?), pulled from neighbor's yard waste to use as hop spider,
the professional brewery equipment, which remains pictureless months after he first wrote about it here, that was inherited from his uncle/grandpa.
Oh yeah, the previous post in this thread where he claims to have made beer containing actual metallic, not digestible food grade, glitter.
What have I left out?
Dang it, I forgot about his idea to clone NEIPA style beer using kale instead of hops.

The only thing glitter has ever been good for is decorating fish hooks, and even that is questionable.

teasing suck when you're a kid. then you realize "I WIN"!
Glitterbeer. Just the thing for those vaping *********s who "impress" people by horking on C-3PO's dong and exhaling clouds of disco fog from the window of their jacked-up 2005 dodge neons just before torque-dropping through an intersection with the lawnmower exhaust sounds wailing.
If I woke up tomorrow with an urge to do any of that crap I'd kill myself with the nearest blunt object.

This is the most prolific, articulate, accurate, descriptive, cornucopian, fecund, fertile, fruitful, lush, luxuriant, productive, and rich description I've seen in a long time. Exhaling clouds of disco fog? Tears are streaming down my face. Some of the most elegant prose I've ever read......
That doesn't look "trippy", it looks like that episode of Fear Factor where they sat around a table drinking shots of donkey semen. As I said, this is just the thing for those vaping morons. WTF does "trippy" look like, anyway? What are we, 15 years old? It's cosmetic garbage, like putting spinner hubcaps on mom's minivan. Gag me with a mash paddle.
