Dallas artists behind popular web-comic now have their own beer

If you've ever heard of the web-comic Cyanide & Happiness from Explosm.net -- a comic with dark humor, controversial language and adult themes, such as religion, sex and suicide (sometimes all at once) -- you might know some of the artists are based in Dallas.

The cartoonists just had a beer named after their famous stick-figures, by a fan who just happens to also be a professional brewer and owner at Flat Tail Brewing in Corvallis, Oregon.

Flat Tail was founded in 2010, and has made its name with classic styles (like the flagship, Great American Beer Festival award-winning Kölsch) and more unique recipes containing everything from sour carrots and cucumbers to African kola nuts. The brewery currently distributes in Oregon and California exclusively, meaning you won't be able to find this beer in Texas despite the local tie. (Unless you're going to Minnesota, where Flat Tail plans to distribute by the end of the year.) Time to flex those trading-muscles, y'all!

The beer: Cyanide & Hoppiness

The brewery: Flat Tail Brewing in Corvallis, Oregon

The style: West Coast IPA

The pitch: At 7.5 percent ABV and approximately 75 IUBs, this classic West-Coast IPA is brewed with local Oregon apricot purée, and Mosaic, Simcoe, and Equinox hops. This specific recipe was chosen to make the pun work; toasted apricot pits have trace amounts of cyanide in them, and they also provide a fantastic almond and malt character, perfect for an IPA.

Fun facts: Initially, the TTB wouldn't approve the beer, concerned it actually contained poisonous amounts of cyanide. It took David Marliave, owner and brewer at Flat Tail Brewing, more than a year to convince them otherwise, and he eventually had to attach the warning "does not include actual cyanide."

Get some: Cyanide & Hoppiness will be sold in 22-ounce bottles and on draft throughout Oregon by the late July, and California starting next week. It will be available online soon at Craft Shack, as well. Since only 30 barrels were brewed, this beer isn't expected to last long.
