Problem: European green crabs have been slowly invading Northwest waters, and are making their way down through Puget Sound. They destroy habitats for local sea life, such as our native Dungeness and red crabs, as well as salmon habitats. People are pretty worried about this.
Solution: Whiskey?!
Over in New Hampshire, they've also been dealing with invasive green crabs. One distillery there has drawn attention to the issue by bottling a special whiskey that incorporates them into its recipe. Each bottle uses about a pound of green crabs.
"People are going to hear 'crab whiskey,' and I'd venture to say three-quarters of them are going to go, 'No, absolutely not,'" said Will Robinsons, product developer at Tamworth Distilling in New Hampshire. "But if you can get them to taste it, they totally change their tune for the most part."

As a former member of the 82nd Airborne Division, I can confidently say - if it has alcohol I probably would drink it.

..."Whiskey can't entirely get rid of the green crabs. Trappers are pulling tens of thousands of them from Puget Sound at this point. But it could help. I know, I know — beer is the big thing in the Northwest. But personally, I've always felt that beer has one major flaw — it's not whiskey. But you got to play your audience, and we all know that our local breweries are some of the most creative corners in our region (we have a festival dedicated to brewing up strange beers, and I once even had beer made with Doritos Cool Ranch chips on Bainbridge Island — it worked). So I'd like to throw this out there to the region's breweries: Is it possible to make beer using invasive green crabs?
I'd also like to challenge Northwest breweries to make any beer that is not an IPA. Because, believe it or not, such non-IPA beers exist. But one thing at a time.
Moving on from beer, let's talk about cookies. And by "cookies" and mean "engineering the future of Seattle's neighborhood density to accommodate the massive influx of new residents."...

That is about as weird as gusano Rojo alcohol. I don't drink so I'm not missing anything.
