The Icelandic whale beer was failed

Instead of hops and malt, the beer specialty would have been made of whale meat flour. However, the local health authority did not agree distribution.

The Icelandic health authorities did not agree to distribute the beer made of whale meat flour. The beer would have a 5.2 percent alcohol content and is produced when the whale meat is boiled down to extract oil. The remaining byproduct from the whale is to be dried, ground up and sold, likely as animal feed. (origo, MTI)
