Hot sauce and beer: A perfect combination? At least Oregon-based brewery Rogue Ales seems to think so.
The brewery is now taking pre-orders for a limited edition Sriracha Hot Stout Beer. It will sell for $13 and will be available sometime this month, though no word yet on whether it will be available in stores.
What exactly will it taste like? Hot, most likely. Huy Fong's now iconic hot sauce has been making waves with its red chili pepper sauce. Taco Bell may even be soon introducing a Sriricha-themed menu to cater to lovers of the sauce.
Even if the idea of a chili pepper beer sounds disgusting, it's hard to deny the stylish, bright red bottle. It is the spitting image of the Sriracha bottle sold in stores across the nation, complete with the famous rooster adorning the front.
It won't be long before Sriracha's food takeover is complete. What's next? Sriracha ice cream? Sriracha flavored Coke? It all doesn't seem so far fetched now that an official Sriracha beer is on the way.
Some commenters on Rogue Ales' Facebook page believe the brewery has gone a step too far.
"This terrifies me," says one commenter. There are some who are excited, though. Or at least cautiously optimistic. "I can't tell if this is an awesome or terrible idea," says another commenter.
No matter whether the beer is actually good or not, one thing is clear -- Sriracha won't stop until it has taken hold of every food product you love. Might as well embrace it.
