Brewed at Anheuser-Busch's Houston brewery, BE will be packaged in a sleek, slim-line 10-ounce can with stylish graphics.
Great. More bad press for Houston. <sigh>

Wow, that's... really, really dumb. Who the hell came up with that one? I don't know anyone who would drink that... maybe college kids, but they'll drink anything.
Jeez, those marketing people... |

It sounds like something for the Red Bull crowd.
We've seen ice beer, dry beer, and low-carb beer. They come and they go. You pays your money and you takes your choice. Ain't it a great country or what! |

"We created a great new drink that's outside the boundaries of the taste adults would expect from a traditional beer,"
...as well as the traditional urinal cake.
This sounds disgusting. I'm glad I'm not a contemporary adult.  |

This is what happens when marketing wins an argument.
Can you imagine being the 'brewer' who has to make this stuff? The shame. You know it's bad when people in the AB cafeteria make fun of you for making wussy beer.

If they wanted to brew something that's "outside the boundaries of the taste adults would expect ..." , why the hell don't they just brew an existing style of beer that tastes like SOMETHING??? |

I guess they see so many twenty something folks drinking red bull & vodka that they needed to capture some market share. Hell I might drink some when they make the "special hops" version. |

I'm somewhat of a sloth, but I really want to look like a "contemporary adult who is looking for the latest beverage to keep up with my highly social and fast-paced lifestyle", so I'm gonna buy some of this stuff. You know, an image thing. I can't help it. Their marketing guys are just TOO good. |

Many years ago my brother asked me to make caffanated beer. We ground up a single extra strength No-Doz per bottle in a six pack. They had a peppermint flavor and made for some odd woodworking cuts.

From all I have read, "guarana" is a small berry with a high level of caffeine--so just another term to convince blind consumers that they are getting something. |

In Germany, they sell pre-mixed beer and cola. It's quite popular and you see it everywhere. I haven't tasted it but I have tried Sprite and Pils. That is some nasty stuff. |

Dan is right, guarana is a berry that is packed with caffeine but the caffeine is bound in a fat soluble molecule that allows it to stay in your system for a much longer time. Sort of loading you up with caffeine that you can't just piss away like regular caffeine.....Brilliant!

To really get the attention of today's contemporary adults, they should use those incredibly expensive coffee beans from Indonesia that are harvested from lemur droppings. That's sort of like guano, isn't it? |

That would be Kopi Luwak coffee.
The coffee beans have been put through a special machine. A living machine, called the Javan civet cat. The luwak is a species of civet cat found only on the island of Java in Indonesia. Like all civet cats it possesses anal scent glands which secrete a fluid with a characteristic odor. In a concentrated form it smells terrible but when diluted it has a pleasant musky odor and can be used in perfume manufacture. The luwak apparently loves coffee. But it is very particular in its taste. It only eats the choicest beans. The luwak's digestive system, however, cannot handle the coffee beans very well and most of them are secreted a few hours after being eaten in a partially digested form. Somehow the contact with the animal's digestive juices changes the chemistry of the beans. When these beans are roasted, the coffee they produce is extremely tasty and full-bodied. Hopefully the enhanced flavor is due to partial digestion and not to contamination from the anal secretions of the civet cat. Plantation workers routinely search the grounds for the special beans which are then brewed into coffee in Indonesia's most select hotels, probably with the visitors not being informed about the origins of the great taste.
I found some for sale here:

It is fitting that catshit coffee shows up in the same thread as Budweiser. You really can't say much bad about the catshit coffee since it actually has flavor. |
