Yup, deep fried beer.
The beer is placed inside a pocket of salty, pretzel-like dough and then dunked in oil at 375 degrees for about 20 seconds, a short enough time for the confection to remain alcoholic.
When diners take a bite the hot beer mixes with the dough in what is claimed to be a delicious taste sensation.

Modern Monks teams up with Misty’s and the beer is great
Posted by beerorkid in Lincoln Shops/Food, beer
The brewery at Misty’s downtown is reborn and producing amazing beers. Modern Monks brewing has teamed up with Misty’s. I brewed in that brewery for 7 years and towards the end of my time there and after I was gone the quality of the beer was not that great. The Monks brought their brewing skills into the brewery and have done some major renovation of the equipment so they can produce quality brews.
Last night there were 4 generations of brewers standing around in awe of what has been done by the Monks moving in. The beer is tasting fantastic. They are bringing back monday night pints for $2.00 starting now. The Monks are still producing a few of the standard Misty’s beers and their own offerings. If you have had a bad experience with the beers at Misty’s in the past do not let that scare you away from their beers now, they are delicious.
When you need to get the beer in yer gullet even faster, you need the chugger. A novelty beer mug with built in beer funnel.

Now, New Belgium’s turning on a big ol’ solar array (870 panels, 200 kilowatts, according to the Coloradoan, and that they said back in August would take care of up to 13 percent of their energy needs; $1 million to build, but the Department of Energy paid for about 40 percent). And Odell Brewing Company is installing a big array, too (76.8 kilowatts, 39 percent of their energy needs).
New Belgium is working in partnership with Fort Collins’ FortZED initiative, which is a public/private collaboration to lighten the load on the electrical grid during peak hours.
Picked a bottle of this up and wow was it good. Very similar to Lindemans framboise in flavor. Would be hard to tell them apart i bet. Really smooth and a tart bite. I am looking forward to trying their strawberry one as well.
