From bull’s testicles and goat brains to whale bones and seaweed, today's craft brewers never seem to come up short on new and novel ways to make beer.

Would you drink a beer that was brewed with the help of sheep poop?
That’s what the folks at Iceland’s Borg Brugghús have come up with in their newly launched Fenrir Nr. 26 smoked West Coast-style IPA.
