Icelandic microbrewery, Stedji is introducing a beer made with fin whale testicles, which are smoked in sheep feces. The beer is being released to celebrate the month-long celebration of Thorri, which is in honour of the Norse god, Thor. This whale testicle beer is called Hvalur 2, which is a sequel to last year's Hvalur 1, which was made with milled fin whale bones.
Both these beers are incredibly controversial and have sparked tons of outrage from various animal rights organizations. The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society has stated that these beers are nothing but a "cheap marketing ploy" and that this endangers an already endangered species.
Stedji claims that these beers are being made in the tradition of their Viking ancestors, who were no strangers to eating testicles.... what do you think?
Here is a link to the brewery's website and a link to a USA Today article discussing the controversy surrounding the beer:
