Skittlebrau, for real

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Jan 10th 2006 @ 7:32PM

Simpsons aficionados may remember mention of a skittle-laced beer called Skittlebrau (If you don't, consult the Simpsons Food Archive). Well, I recently came across someone who took it a bit too far: The Glossy News concocted roughly a dozen different skittle-infused beers and spirits. Why? Why not I guess. Some of the combinations are easy to believe--Skittles and Bacardi Silver, for example, should be nothing new to the sorority crowd, although I'm surprised they didn't serve it with a straw. Others, like Skittles and Old Milwaukee ("Old Skilwaukee"), I'd rather not have thought about. If you look closely, you can still see the Skittle bits glowing at the bottom of the mug.

He suggests that they would be melted down into a syrup so they are sterilized and then added to the mash for fermentation.
