CicadAle “a 10-gallon batch of beer that includes smoked cicadas as an ingredient ” “The base beer is a barley wine and targeted it to 21 Plato (thus the final beer will be about 10.3% alcohol by volume) because the cicada Brood X will emerge again in 2021.”

While on a recent road trip in Northwestern Illinois I passed a sign on a bar in Byron that announced it was the official home of the Turkey Testicle Festival. It sounds better than the bug beer doesn’t it?

Also on the road trip I noticed that Burger King is selling an Angus Steak Burger I haven’t tried it (but I haven’t tried any fast food for awhile) but it’s probably just a marketing term since there’s nothing special about an Angus breed unless it’s Certified Angus Beef (CAB).
