Why in the world would they choose ingredients most beer drinkers have never heard of . . . what the heck is a qatar fruit? If it\u2019s okay for beer to taste like tea or coffee, why not pizza? If wild yeasts are allowed to ferment beer, then why not beard yeast? If oysters, why not bacon? If pumpkin\u2019s good enough for pie, why not beer? Since hops are flowers, why not brew with actual flowers?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As always, the session is open to bloggers everywhere.
