Move over, sourdough starters – Germany’s latest quarantine trend is here, and it’s bottled with a dose of humor. A Bavarian brewery has launched 'vaccine beer,' a quirky brew that’s flying off shelves despite one very clear disclaimer: it won’t protect you from COVID-19. 😅
The tongue-in-cheek creation aims to help people 'swallow pandemic stress,' according to brewers, as Germany’s beer industry faces historic slumps due to lockdowns. While it can’t replace masks or actual vaccines, the lager has become a symbolic toast to resilience – and a much-needed mood booster for weary locals.
🍻 Fun fact: The beer’s label even features a mock 'vaccination certificate' design. Though health experts remind drinkers to keep celebrations small-scale, the brew already has social media buzzing with #LiquidCourage memes and creative cocktail recipes.
