Beer For Breakfast? You Can Now Get This Unusual Cereal-Flavored Ale

<div><p>After pumpkin spice beer, chocolate beer, key lime pie beer, and oyster stout, you should be sufficiently prepared for beers brewed with strange flavors. </p><p>A <a href="http://www.slumbrew.com/">Massachusetts brewery</a> has released a brand new drink inspired by one of your favorite breakfast cereals, and we can't decide if it's a good thing or not. </p><p>Somerville's Saturday Morning ale is a Belgian-style brew made using Cap'n Crunch Berries cereal. The beer is 9% alcohol and will be sold locally at their taproom. </p><p>Brendan O'Toole, operation manager, <a href="https://www.boston.com/news/beer/2017/02/28/somerville-brewing-company-is-making-a-beer-with-capn-crunch-berries-cereal-seriously">told Boston.com</a> the brewing secret: "Start with a base recipe roughly similar to that of our Trekker Trippel and add the breakfast cereal during the mash-in. We also added a good amount of flaked corn to the mash in order to add smoothness to the body and further emphasize the cereal-like overtones."</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/16939474_10154230162131674_4064773835005316144_n.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/16939474_10154230162131674_4064773835005316144_n_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/16939474_10154230162131674_4064773835005316144_n_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Somerville Brewing on Facebook</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>The fun and wacky beer gets its name and character from the brewery itself, since Cartoon Network is always on TV as employees work. &nbsp;</p><p>"Life is short.
