Japanese Garlic Beer

Here’s some interesting news: a Japanese company has combined its popular dark beer with the pungent, intense flavor of black garlic, thus creating the unique and rather bizarre Aomori Garlic Black Beer.

Featuring a sleek black label with elegant golden writing, the black garlic-flavored beer bottle – which costs 630 yen ($6.5) – looks very appealing to any avid dark beer lover. The first sip of Aomori Garlic Black Beer doesn’t taste very different from any other quality black beer, but as the dark goes down your throat and into the stomach, the potent black garlic flavor starts to take over your mouth. Incredibly, those brave enough to actually try the Aomori Garlic Black Beer say the spicy, potent aftertaste is very addictive, making you want to drink more and more of the strange beverage.

Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Flavored Vodka

It seems as though we just can’t get enough of these breakfast flavored vodkas. Literally days after we introduced you to the Mama Walker’s Breakfast Liqueurs, Kellog’s decided it was time to unveil their Pop-Tarts Vodka.

That’s right, an entire range of vodka dedicated to our favorite morning treat. As if the news of the Pop-Tarts ice cream sandwich wasn’t exciting enough for fans of the popular toaster pastry, we now have the option to indulge on 3 different flavors of 80-proof Pop-Tarts vodka. Kellog’s will roll out three classic flavors including Strawberry, S’mores, and the above pictured Brown Sugar Cinnamon. The company has been prepping this line for years at their headquarters, and have plans to roll out 3 new flavors every year. We were saddened to find out this was simply an April Fools joke by Table to Grave, but figured this post could spark some thought.
