The Swill: Bad Frog Beer
The Still: Bad Frog Brewery
Rose City, Michigan

The Drill: Lager, 12oz bottle, ABV unknown
The Spill: Typical beer in a less than typical bottle, Bad Frog's label sports a picture of a frog flipping the bird, which has led to its banning in several states, including Ohio. Not much is missed; the amber lager is much like any other plain-Jane beer you might encounter. It's really only the label that attracts the drinker. Even the website doesn't have much to say about the beer. Rather, it's more concerned with hocking merchandise and promoting their bad-boy image.
Says Bill: A brief Wikipedia article mentions the beer's banning. Legend had it that a bar in Ohio called the Winking Lizard smuggled the beer in from Michigan and kept it hidden from view, and the only way to order it was to give the bartender the finger. And hope that he knew what you meant when you did it.
Refill?: I wonder what he'd serve you if you pulled your pants down. Busch?: 1 tap out of 5.
