Regardless of your beer preference, these odd balls are sure to shock and intrigue. From insanely high ABV contents to super spicy chili ales, these are 21 of the most eccentric beers around.

Cat Poop Coffee Stout
Apparently using coffee that's been pooped out of an animal is sort of common (i.e.: elephant sh%* beer). This stout uses coffee beens that have passed through a civet cat.
