WOULD you drink this?
An American brewery has
released a beer titled Rocky
Mountain Oyster Stout, made
with bulls testicles.
The beverage was actually
conceived as an April Fools joke
where the company put out a
spoof video which claimed it had
made a bull testicle beer.
“When we sent out the press
release and the video link last April,
we heard from brewers and beer
writers who thought the beer was
for real and loved the idea,” said
head brewer Andy Brown.
“So we’ve turned our joke into a
reality,” he added.
The beer is described as a
foreign-style stout, slightly viscous,
which has hints of chocolate
syrup, and espresso, along with a
savoury umami-like note.
THINK you’re tipping the scales?
Spare a thought for Jumbo Jack. Jack, the King Charles spaniel has been named as Britain’s best pet slimmer, following an impressive 6.4kg weight loss. Dubbed Jumbo Jack, the tubby spaniel weighed in at 20.5kgs six months ago, and could barely walk. Fortunately Jumbo Jack was adopted by new owners who were committed to helping him regain his doggie freedom. The pooch was put on a strict diet and exercise regime, and managed to trim down to 14.1kgs, just 4.1kgs from his ideal body weight. “Today he is a different dog and we call him Jumping Jack instead of Jumbo Jack, as he jumps every time he barks,” his owners said.
