Beer has had a rather interesting month. First, the culinary mad scientists over at Fun Fried Beverages gave us fried beer. Now, New York’s Diablo Royale Este has concocted The Hopsicle Experience:

… a frozen can of beer, sliced in half and served like a Push Pop for big kids.

It looks like your standard can of Tecate: Red. Cylindrical. Icy cold. Except the barman-witchdoctors at Diablo have taken the “icy” bit quite literally, injecting the beer with simple syrup and lime juice, jamming a wooden stick into the hole of the can and then putting it in the freezer. For four days.

The result is a genuine beer popsicle, which the bartender must saw in half with a serrated steak knife (or samurai sword) to open. Then it’s up to you to push the wooden stick upward to dispense the hopsicle in true Push Pop style, and decide if you want your savory sweet frozen joyride bathed in tequila as well (note: you want this).

I’m feeling an early weekend bender coming on.
