This has to be the screwiest fad to date:  drinking raw eggs.

This is my review of Dogfish Head Punking Ale:

No, this is not a new phenomenon, given its the original American breakfast of champions.  Perhaps its better to call it, “The Federalist discovers millennials discover Rocky.”

“eggs have a symbolic and social value too. … They are the antithesis of the kinds of food — if you could even call it that — which we have pushed on us by our corporate overlords.” Eggs are also readily available to the masses; they “are cheap and can be produced easily, by just about anybody.” “You can’t patent an egg,” he says, “but you can patent a plant-based ‘egg,’ which corporations are doing at this very moment.” And, in fact, they are.

Even if slonking eggs proves to be good dietary advice, the idea that it’s at the core of a larger worldview may seem like a stretch. However, the enigmatic Brit told me the idea behind the movement is pretty straightforward: “A nation is only as healthy as the people of which it is comprised.” If the people are sick, then the nation is sick — mentally and physically. We do, after all, live in a world where the celebration of obesity has become a regular occurrence.We also live in a world where testosterone levels among young men appear to be dropping at an alarming pace and male fertility is on the decline.

The horror. What’s really funny is this was the type of ads The Federalist’s ad bot was giving me as I was reading their inquisition piece:

A person suddenly getting the idea to get healthy for whatever reason is probably a good thing.  I can’t imagine that being a problem when extrapolating this behavior to the total population. Its has to be healthier from a psychological standpoint than becoming depressed living in a society squarely in decline and saying what is really needed is another Nick Fuentes.

I’m not sure I’m about to eat raw eggs, but I did find a couple ways you can add a raw egg to beer.  I give you Hanoi Egg Beer, and the beer flip.  Maybe I’ll write one up at some point.

 

Nephilium made me do it.  Dogfish Head tends to be a bit pricey in my neck of the woods but as it turned out the bottle of whiskey I found that day happened to run $12 so I indulged after I found out how much I saved!  This one isn’t too bad to be honest.  They didn’t go too heavy with the pumpkin and it can be argued it is more of a spiced brown ale.  Not as overwhelming as a few others out there which is probably why it tends to get high marks.  Dogfish Head Punkin Ale:  3.3/5
