Deep Fried....Beer?

Yes, Deep Fried Beer. Of all places, Texas. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sounds interesting. I’d give it a try for $5.

Ah, yes, the annual “What the hell are they gonna deep-fry this year?!?” There are only two days out of the year that I reallyreallyreally wish I could eat more at one sitting: Thanksgiving, and State Fair Day.

One year, I just went with Roman Rules. Might’ve been the heat, might’ve been the fried something-or-other.

Also, they should have a Pothead Day at the Fair, with all cops looking the other way. The concession people would make a bloody fortune.

I believe they did deep-fried butter last year; I don’t think it was especially popular, possibly due to squirting issues. Deep-fried Coke seems to have become a regular item, however.

I’m not sure I see the point of the deep-fried beer. Granted, I don’t like beer in the first place, but…isn’t this a bit like beer batter? If not, it’s just hot beer. I didn’t think people liked hot beer (not even the Brits, who are often accused of drinking it “warm”).

Texas, you say? I can believe that. 'Twas in Arkansas that I encountered the “you bring it, we’ll fry it” fair booth.

Two bucks.

Hanging around, I watched as they batter-dipped and deep-fried everything from Snickers bars, to cotton candy (how this worked, I don’t know, but it did), to Coca-Cola, to vodka, to various insects. The only items I saw them decline were a rock off the ground and a rubber eraser, both presented by individuals even more well-lubricated than you might imagine.

After some thought, I decided I had to try some fried Coke, proud American that I am. It was more or less a lumpy wad of funnel cake…I’ve had worse. Can’t imagine beer would be much different.
