When the news reached us about a beer brewed with climbing magnesium, we first thought of a joke. But the info did not reach us on the 1. April and turned out after a consultation with FrictionLabs, the manufacturer of the special climbing magnesium, as true. More in the following report.
The climbing scene has never seen anything like it. A beer brewed from magnesium, which is normally used for climbing. The idea came from the guys from Wynkoop Brewing Co. in Colorado. They are climbers themselves and have heard of an old recipe in which magnesium carbonate is mixed in the brewing process. They came across in search of the best and purest climbing magnesium FrictionLabs and started.
British Golden Ale with FrictionLabs Unicorn Magnesium
The result is a British Golden Ale, brewed with FrictionLabs Unicorn Dust, Limey Unicorn. When asked why magnesium is added to the brewing process at all, Kevin Brown replied in an interview: โMagnesium changes the nature of the water. Water in the UK contains many minerals that affect the taste of beer. This effect is mimicked by adding magnesium during the brewing process. That preserves the taste Limey Unicorn thanks to the magnesium a slightly bitter note and the typical fresh finish โexplains Kevin.

If you want to brew your own British Golden Ale, we recommend it Unicorn Dust to use, since it is very finely ground. If you prefer climbing, there are two more variants of the white gold: Gorilla grip (fine) and Bam Bam (small pieces of magnesium). For lovers of liquid chalk there is the so-called Secret stuff, The liquid magnesium is of course only intended for climbing.
