Hot dogs are an iconic American food. For sausage lovers, a Texas brewery is launching a hard seltzer made with leftover hot dog water.
Fort Worth-based Martin House Brewing Company is launching its new drink with a unique flavor of hot dog water at Glizzy Fest, an event in honor of this popular food that will take place next July 16 at the brewery.
While the brewery brews many regular beers, it is known for its off-the-wall flavors, including Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer, Murph Juice, a beer with BBQ sauce, Buffalo Wangz, a beer with chicken wings sauce and a beer with salsa verde and mustard.
“For those who ask, the hot dog is real. It is a 5.2% carbonated water called ‘Bun Length’. We will have 420 tall cans available to go at Glizzy Fest,” the brewer posted on its Facebook page. The cost of the hot dog seltzer is $4 each.
Martin House Brewing Company assured that pickled mustard beer will also be available, as well as others 25 Draft beers.
In addition to the seltzer launch, the event will include three food trucks, a hot dog eating contest, vendors of crafts and a cover band.
The Glizzy Fest will cost $15, includes a “Suckin on chili dogs” souvenir glass and four shots of beer or mineral water. Non-drinkers have free access.
Whiskey made with green crabs
Another of the launches in de alcoholic beverage with exotic flavors is a whiskey made from green crabs.
The newly launched drink was prepared by Tamworth Distilling and a team from the University of New Hampshire created a whiskey using invasive crabs that are destroying the New England ecosystem and shellfish fishery.
To make the whisky, the developers boiled the green crabs in a crab broth which was then fortified with Tamworth-made neutral grain spirits and distilled in a large vacuum rotary still “until the ideal crab essence”, says the company.
The whiskey is available for sale in bottles of 200 milliliters at a price of $100. It can be purchased at Tamworth Distillery (shop.tamworthdistilling.com) and other stores such as Seelbachs.com and Art in the Age in Philadelphia.
