Only one of the greatest beer inventions in the history of the world. Ladies and gentleman, meet the Hopsicle.

The Hopsicle Experience or simply Hopsicle, served by a Mexican saloon in New York called Diablo Royale Este, consists of a can of Tecate injected with simple syrup and lime juice, fitted with a wooden stick, and frozen for four days, whereupon the top is chopped off with a samurai sword and it is consumed with a popsicle stick. Sounds tasty.

So it’s essentially a beer push up pop, but much, much more badass. Now, I think Tecate is complete trash, so I’m thinking some fruitier beers would be perfect for something like this, but I can’t think of too many that come out of cans. Maybe giving something like Oskar Blues’s Old Chub a go would be quite tasty? I don’t think I’d want to touch any stout in popsicle form, and any IPA might be a bit much, but maybe adding a touch of strawberry syrup might do the trick?

Either way, if I stop posting for a few months again, just assume I’ve sliced one of my hands off with a samurai sword trying to assemble one of these damn things. Maybe a Bell’s mini-keg-sicle would make this even more extreme? Yup, I smell a trip to the ER already.
