Status: Tall-tale creature
I've found another beer to add to my list of
hoax-themed beers: Boonville Beer. Its label shows a picture of a bear with antlers. I was having a bottle of this beer (the outmeal stout) out on the patio this afternoon, saw the antlered bear, and got curious. A quick internet search revealed that the creature isn't actually a bear.
The Anderson Valley Brewing Company website explains:
It's not a bear. Bears don't have antlers. Of course not. Who ever heard of such a thing? It is, however, a BEER. The Legendary Boonville Beer to be exact. Barkley, by name, who could be considered a cross between a bear and a deer (thus a beer). Barkley and his brethren are often seen about Anderson Valley by lovers of truly fine beers (especially if they've had a few).
The beer itself was pretty good, though I usually prefer stouts that have more of a chocolate flavor.

Their chocolate stout is the best I've tasted, and I've tasted a lot 😊
