Who’s gonna be first to use it? I’m betting Mikkeller / Evil Twin.

This has BrewDog written all over it even though Mikkeller has the jump on beer made from animal shit

As if people weren’t abusing elephants & animals enough yet.

I’d like to see somebody do an IPA with this:

No elephant poop involved. Well, maybe not intentionally.

I’m pretty sure there’s already a beer made with it. I’ll have to look for a link or something but I thought someone posted about this before.

here it is, a beer by Sankt Gallen

If the hefelumps are happy then more than willing to give this a go.

Shame about the Civet Cat coffee, what sounded like a noble relationship between man and beast soon turned to the reality of maximum profit - abusive farming. Sigh!

Can elephants be abused like this? Don’t know but I suspect if money is involved someone will find a way. Just remember they never forget and are more than willing to trample abusers under very heavy foot, given the snallest chance.

Hats off to De Molen for drawing a line under the use of Kopi Loewak.

I think we used that coffee it was just called Kenta AA though. Turned out nice and went over well.

Probably similar enough to the coffee I suggested. Would have loved the chance to try that.
