Beers Containing Chicken.

[VBisGod]

yeah, i`m gotta drop everything and grab the labradors chicken carcasses from the hops fridge and brew a beer........ My goddamn chickenass, I havent even come around to Screwy`s pumpkin stuff. Chicken in beer? why! It just coudnt work imo unless you make soup, then we can have pea n ham n porter, barley and rye vegetable lambic, lager n leeches. Unthinkable.
Gawd knows we could even add breakfast i.e oats, bacon and call it some greek name and sell it at airports., i want a beer to talk about not be scared of.
Who did no chill with #17 frozen farmland chickens? #18 was too wide for a fermenter neck, take care of your chicken being a tad unfrozen.......botulism...ewwww? Probably one of the funniest posts besides Rooks maiden all grain voyage I have read.

You haven't clicked any of Cocko's or Silo Ted's links recently, have you?

funny you should mention this. I was judging near the specialty category table at vicbrew this year. You should have heard their reactions to the brewers notes when they were getting served a apricot (or similar)-marinated chicken ale. Forgot to ask how it tasted.

An article in the latest Brew Your Own magazine brought up the old "Cock Ale" in a new book, which looks quite interesting. From the article, it seems like putting the chicken in the boil was not so much about flavour, but fermentation back in ye olde days before vials of laboratory-prepared yeast. There's apparently plenty of amino acids, yeast nutrients and brewing salts (calcium carbonate, anyone?) in a chicken.

All the fat in a chicken carcass surely wouldn't help with head retention though (no jokes, please).

Any additional thoughts on chicken in beer? It's a bit out there for me but I'd love to hear who's done it.

I have tried The Big Red Cock ale that Bacchus brew, was actually really nice, didn't taste like chicken at all but at the same time was quite different to anything else I have tried.
