I drank a Malört-infused beer. Here's how it tastes (oof).
New Belgium isn't resting on its laurels. Their Voodoo Ranger has helped make the Colorado outfit the best selling craft brewery in the country. Still, they're finding new ways to punish drinkers. Naturally, when the good folks at Jeppsen's Malört heard about this, they saw an opportunity that could not be passed up. Thus, we now live in a world where Malört isn't just the shot you avoid until your Chicago-adjacent buddies bully you into drinking one. It's also in a six pack of otherwise enjoyable IPAs. And the twist, beyond dropping a liquor that tastes like moss learned how to vomit into a perfectly good beer? Only one beer in the pack is tainted with Chicago Glory, and you have no idea which one it is. Roll the dice and you've either got an 83 percent chance of a normal, perfectly solid pale ale or a 17 percent shot to get one that someone dropped a peppermint coated in motor oil and hair into (this seems harsh on Malört. Do not feel bad for them. They know what they did). Here's what I looked like failing my roulette IPA task. WARNING: Language is NSFW, because I am drinking Malört. I truly apologize for the face I am making in the freeze frame below. New Belgium came up with a brilliant, terrible idea. IPA roulette. Six beers. 5 are regular Voodoo Ranger. The sixth? MALORT INFUSED IPA. and you don't know which is which. did my unlucky ass immediately pick the MALORT on the first try? friend, I think you know the answer already And here's my full breakdown on a gag beer that, honestly, is better than I expected (but still not good). New Belgium Voodoo Ranger x Malort IPA: C- God bless, this was the VERY FIRST BEER I PICKED. Every can looked the same, with zero indicator of the contents within. I made it a point not to smell it beforehand and... yep, peppermint motor oil and burnt hair. At first you think it's a regular beer, then you are quickly, harshly reminded it is not. I will give credit where it is due. It works a little better than expected. It smells like something a doctor in a plague mask would rub on your stomach to assuage the humours causing your gout. It tastes like sandpaper feels. But there's something about the earthen quality to it that isn't terrible. It's not *good,* certainly, but it feels like it's better than it has any right being. It works with the bitterness of the hops instead of fighting against it. It's still a novelty beer, but one that wouldn't be an awful addition to a lineup of five ounce pours in a flight. 12 ounces? Too much. Waaaaay too much. But there's a minor Christmas ale influence to it that feels familiar beyond "I'm in Chicago and about to have the worst hangover of my life." That's a lot of words to say it's not the worst thing I've drank for USA Today. Each burp, however, is a waking nightmare unto itself. I should not be allowed around people.

What do the cheapest Lady Gaga ‘Mayhem Ball' concert tickets cost?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. We're not that far from the 'Shallow' now. Starting July 16, Lady Gaga blasts off on her highly-anticipated 'Mayhem Ball World Tour' sending her to arenas all over the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Spain, Germany and France. Early in the run, she's slated to perform not one, not two, not three, not four, not five but six (!) huge concerts in support of her recently-released, chart-topping album 'Mayhem' at New York City's Madison Square Garden. Her first four Big Apple gigs go down Friday, Aug. 22, Saturday, Aug. 23, Tuesday, Aug. 26 and Wednesday, Aug. 27. A little less than two weeks later, 'Mother' returns for an encore with a pair of Penn Station-adjacent shows on Saturday, Sept. 6 and Sunday, Sept. 7. While we're not sure what to expect at these shows, the 14-time Grammy winner performed a handful of concerts on what she dubbed 'The Art of Personal Chaos Tour.' At the most recent one in Singapore, she took 21 songs to the stage over four artfully-titled acts (Act II is called 'And She Fell Into A Gothic Dream') according to Set List FM. Tracks included surefire hits like 'Poker Face,' 'Paparazzi,' 'Alejandro,' 'Born This Way' and 'Bad Romance' as well as tracks from 'Mayhem.' 'The two-hour spectacle is a fever dream of dance, drama, and drag-level commitment,' The Honeycombers giddily declared in an emphatic review of the ambitious stage show. 'Think Shakespearean tragedy meets fashion editorial, with razor-sharp choreography and a narrative that channels Gaga's past, present, and future. Across four acts, the exhilarating show unfolds with massive set pieces (Gaga in a sand pit! A piano covered with skulls!) and costumes that won't look out of place in an Alexander McQueen catalogue.' If you want to witness this large scale concert , full-blown cultural event, tickets are available for all forthcoming 'Mayhem Ball' concerts. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one night was $171 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other North American shows have tickets starting anywhere from $175 to $669 including fees.

Based on our findings at Set List FM, here's what the latest one that went down on May 24 included. Act I: Of Velvet And Vice 01.) 'Bloody Mary' 02.) 'Abracadabra' 03.) 'Judas' 04.) 'Scheiße' 05.) 'Garden of Eden' 06.) 'Poker Face Act II: And She Fell Into A Gothic Dream 07.) 'Perfect Celebrity' 08.) 'Disease' 09.) 'Paparazzi' 10.) 'Alejandro' 11.) 'The Beast' Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name 12.) 'Killah' 13.) Zombieboy' 14.) 'Die With a Smile' 15.) 'How Bad Do U Want Me' Act IV: To Wake Her Is to Lose Her 16.) 'Shadow of a Man' 17.) 'Born This Way' 18.) 'Always Remember Us This Way' 19.) 'Shallow' 20.) 'Vanish Into You' Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart 21.) 'Bad Romance' Lady Gaga new music On March 7, Lady Gaga dropped her seventh studio album 'Mayhem.' The energetic, maximalist dance pop record — which many rightly call a return to form — rarely takes a moment to breathe (save for the final two tracks, which veer into singalong ballad territory). Over its 53-minute runtime, Gaga goes hard providing her signature powerful vocals over shimmery synths, thumping percussion and the occasional epic guitar riff. And, yes, it's a blast. Standouts here include the anthemic, electro 'Disease,' disco jam 'Abracadabra,' creepy, hypnotic bop 'Killah,' glittery foot-stomper 'Zombieboy' and retro, New Wave-esque 'Don't Call Tonight.' Still, our top track has to be the lead single, Gaga's throwback 'Die With A Smile' duet with Bruno Mars. Sweeping yet intimate and thrillingly romantic, the heartfelt tune pairs perfectly as an upbeat counterpart to her similarlly swooning 'Shallow.' It's essential and we'd bet will likely become a staple at Gaga tours for the next few decades.

Cutch goes beast mode during furry convention
Pirates great Andrew McCutchen loves posting about furries, and appears to get some good karma when he does. The intrigue: Since 2014, McCutchen has periodically posted the word "furries" on his social media when Anthrocon, a furry convention, is in town. McCutchen then typically turns into a beast at the plate. By the numbers: Through 2023, Cutch played 19 home games when Anthrocon was in Pittsburgh. He blasted four home runs with a .392 batting average in that span. Yes, but: McCutchen went 1-11 with three walks and six strikeouts during Anthrocon-adjacent home games last year.
