The Bizarre World of Bizarre Beers …!


Breweries and manufacturers are constantly adapting and changing to the huge number of consumers who drink beer today, and will often try to invent innovative ideas for expanding their revenues and fan-base.


  • Sometimes, however, breweries take this a little too far, such as in Cambodia, a popular beer is a Tarantula Brandy, containing rice liquor and “flavored” with dead tarantulas.
  • Another example would be the Korean Baby Mouse Liquor, which is made with distilled rice spirits, blended with dead mice, and fermented for one year.
  • Yet another example of bizarre beers is the Kwispelbier brand, produced from a small brewery in the Netherlands, and advertised as “a beer for your best friend.” Yes, it is a non-alcoholic beverage designed for dogs after Gerrie Berendsen, the inventor, wanted to refresh his dog after a day out hunting.

They’re not exactly beers which our customers request – thankfully!

However, we do stock an enviable range of beers, including Farnham’s best selection of 7 real ales. As a result the Shepherd & Flock regularly appears in the Camra Good Beer Guide.
And if you’re looking for that thirst quencher, we also have a choice of 5 top lagers.
