Why do bears poop in the woods?

For Super Bowl Sunday
Keep Portland Weird

Yes, it's real: Columbia Sportswear and Breakside Brewery brewed a beer with bear poop

Just because you CAN do something does not mean that you SHOULD

[CaptainMike]

I thought that was a Pope thing, and that bears are Catholic...

[Smoke em if you got em]

Good one!

[ecowper]

also, the answer to the eternal question just for CaptainMike

[Purc]

Why? Because they can just like the coffee beans that are gathered from the poop of a jungle cat and an elephant. No thank you to any of this.

BTW, I have been told that certain beers taste like horse pee and I have always wondered how these people know what that taste like!

[Ace]

Blind taste tests... :-)

[JimLinebarger]

Because we can...

[RichieB]

A better version of PBR.

[bbqLuv]

Shame on you for even suggesting that

[RichieB]

I have no shame.

[klflowers]

Now this is funny.

[Oak Smoke]

Did they find the poop with little bells in it and smells like pepper spray?

And on the tundra

Coffee from Civet Droppings for morning coffee and Beer from Bear Scat for the evenings. It gives meaning to the phrase "I'm having a $h1tty day!"



Have fun!

One wonders who discovered that and why they thought it would be a good idea.

[Waster]

It was the local Indonesians who discovered it - when under Danish rule they were not allowed to have the local coffee (the pesky Danes wanted it all) - they found the beans in the poop after the civet ate the coffee cherries and (hopefully) cleaned, roasted and brewed. Apparently the Danes tried it & were then smitten.

I'm lucky to have an Indonesian wife who brought me back a kg of Kopi Luwak whole beans - which I grind & make - it really is super smooth and not bitter at all

While one of my favorite beers has civet poop as an ingredient, I don't think I would try this one. I can kinda get on board with the whole civet coffee thing (though why they haven't just created an artificial acid/fermentation mixture that mimics the digestive tract of the cat I dunno...), but I can't figure out what supposed benefit there is to bear poop?

Seriously though, if you can find a bottle of Brunch Weasel it's worth the very high cost to at least try it with some friends

Has anybody asked the magic question? Does anybody with a reasoning mind give a rip about crap in beer?

[CaptainMike]

Or crappy beer for that matter. I'm looking at you, Coors Light and PBR...

[Panhead John]

Hey!!! What the……😳

[smokenoob]

I WISH bears would poop in the woods and STAY OFF MY LAWN!

Finster Screen room not insurable and often gone after a storm…. 💨

[bep35]

Isn't that a bear toilet? Does a bear poop in the pool?

[smokenoob]

bep35 no, I put up a sign “No Pooping in Pool”

[jayjordan]

Q: why do bears poop in the woods? A: to get to the other side.

[bbqLuv]

Thank you so much for the answer to this question.

[johnec00]

I don't rightly know, but its being said they're not potty trained.
