Eau de Beer

December 23rd, 2009

I guess it was only a matter of time before some Real Man of Genius created a perfume out of beer. Because who wouldn’t love to smell like a drunk hobo?

Welcome to Seattle’s Blue Marble Energy, where chemists are cooking up a perfume made from the waste products of a local organic brewery.

“This is a viscous sludge,” said James Stephens. “It’s a mixture of about 50,000 different kinds of bacteria.”

Black sludge, rancid beer grains, green slimy stuff and it is all good for the Earth and for consumers. The grains replacing petroleum in the process making this perfume completely carbon neutral.

Unfortunately, despite the ingredients in the new “Eos” perfume, it does not smell like beer. But the local, handmade perfume by Sweet Anthem does smell nice, coming in both masculine and feminine versions.

Maybe it will smell nice. At least one guy in the article seems to be sold on the idea.

“Beerfume,” suggests one bargoer. “A lot of people like beer and a lot of people like women.”

Well put, guy. Might not be too late to get your lucky lady a sludge-based beauty product. Video after the jump.
