Actually, ‘bacon-flavored beer’ is not in itself a selling point for me. However…

…after reading what’s to be done in a Brooklyn brewery that with a bunch of malt that has already taken on the marvelous odor of bacon:

[Brewmaster Garrett Oliver] plans to brew about 15 gallons of barleywine with that malt. In the meantime, he’s been infusing a brown ale with the flavor of Benton’s bacon fat through a technique known as “fat washing.” (Nick Fauchald described the process in this profile of the bartender Eben Freeman.) Oh, and the bacon-fat-infused ale was also aged in bourbon barrels, because bourbon and bacon go together like, um, beer and bacon.

Eventually, the barleywine with the bacon-smoked malt and the bourbon-aged, bacon-fat-infused ale would be blended to create one monstrously bizarre beer.

“One of two things will happen,” Mr. Oliver predicted. “Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth.”

Well.  Yeah.  I’ll drink to that.  At least once.

Bacon sandwiches cure hangovers?

There is apparently nothing that bacon cannot do. Via AoSHQ:

Bacon sandwich really does cure a hangover

A bacon sandwich really does cure a hangover – by boosting the level of amines which clear the head, scientists have found.

You see, this is the kind of science we need more of. Bacon-themed science.

Bacon from a *squeeze bottle*!

Squeez Bacon

It’s real.  It’s bacon that you can squeeze out whenever you want squeezable bacon.   It is not an April Fool’s joke.  It is one of the greatest ideas ever.  You want some of this.  You want a case of this*.

Mike Nelson is my new guru.

(Via Feddie) This is the single most awesome attempt to prove a point ever.

RiffTrax boss Michael J. Nelson is about to prove forever the health benefits of cured pork products. Or, he should be preparing his will.

The former Mystery Science Theater 3000 writer and performer has pledged to eat only bacon throughout February.

It is so awesome, in fact, that I will forgive him replacing Joel on MST3K.  I do not often renounce kanly; Mike Nelson should be flattered.
