3. Bizarre Beers

There has always been an urge from the manufactures to expand their fan base and increase the revenues in the highly competitive market and they always come up with innovative ideas to reach their targets. However, innovations go little too far at times in the industry that many invent bizarre beers to catch the attention. Tarantula Brandy is the perfect example for this. This popular Cambodian beer contains rice liquor flavored with dead tarantulas. Yet another brand named Baby Mouse Liquor from Korea has distilled rice spirits, blended with dead mice and is fermented for one year. Kwispelbier brand from Netherlands is worth mentioning here as it’s a non-alcoholic beverage designed for dogs. The drink advertised as “a beer for your best friend,” was invented by Gerrie Berendsen who wanted to refresh his dog after a day out hunting.
