Bumblebeer



Bumblebeer: noun. Distilled liquor made of bumblebee juice extract. The beverage was first consumed by the Celtic population in modern day Ireland where bumblebeer is, to this day, called “beoir ó Na súnna an ollphéist Ag eitilt,“ roughly translating to “beer from the juices of the flying monster.” It´s history can be given with some precision and several sources from chronicles written by Viking scribes describe bumblebeer as particularly disgusting, especially when combined with mushrooms prepared for ritual purposes by Celtic druids. In the modern day, there are many organisations campaigning against the consumption of the liquid, saying that the way in which it is obtained (a way that is too gruesome for this blog to go through without getting censored) is unfathomably inhumane.
