Don’t get too excited; these Beer Grain Granola Bars ($22 for a 12-sack) won’t get you buzzed. But ReGrained does in fact take spent grain — the leftover product of the brewing process — and combine it with even yummier ingredients like coffee beans, honey, chocolate and almonds. The result is a Honey Almond IPA or Chocolate Coffee Stout bar that might not get you drunk, but will put a little something in your stomach so your next beer isn’t lonely down there.
Move over pork rinds, there’s a new Manliest Snack in Town. Kobe Red ($7 and up) is jerky made from organic Japanese Kobe beef, considered perhaps the finest in the world. But the real rub here is that these Kobe cows are all beer fed. That’s right, while you’re drinking Mr. Pibb, these cows are chugging Heineken (we use that term and brand loosely here; could also be PBR). The result is chilled out cattle, and chilled out cattle are usually pretty cool with being turned into succulent strips of jerky. Try the Brown Sugar-Lemongrass.
