In a Brewery. Their poop is used in a food-safe way to smoke malt to create a unique stout beer.

FROM BrookstoneBeerBulletin.com

The Japanese brewery Sankt Gallen created a beer with elephant dung, which reportedly immediately sold out. According to Drinks Business: The beer, which is called Un, Kono Kuro, is made using coffee beans that have passed through an elephant. The Sankt Gallen brewery called the beer a “chocolate stout,” despite it not containing any chocolate.

I think I'll stick to Mackeson, thanks.

I am beginning to worry that digging all this sh8t up will affect sales of certain stouts. And maybe stop people buying any of them, just to be on the safe side. :sweat:

Incorrect on two counts.

:)

Happy Christmas.

tugfan 26th December 2022 20:32

Ah, yes, you asked for the class. That would be Dealey class.

2560 - Caption on the pic on Reddit:
Mk48 torpedo passing under a Dealey class destroyer escort USS Bridget (DE-1024) during an exercise in 1972.

USS Bridget was decommissioned in September 1973, so this 'miss' must have been intentional.

Sparkie2182 26th December 2022 21:01

"That would be Dealey class"

It would.

They both belong to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Henderson Island & Belle Isle.

2567 - the what; it’s what we call a brick skew arch and I have seen countless versions over the years.
Most of this design carry a railway line, some, like this one, have a foot access gate to a ramp.
The unusual style of parapet railing and lack of maintenance suggest it no longer carries a live railway.
The where; looks familiar but off the top of my head I haven’t a clue.

Makko 26th December 2022 23:03

Malcolm, could it be a Canal bridge? Plenty near Rugby. I think Railway is too obvious. Where? Not a clue!

Malcolm G 26th December 2022 23:16

An aqueduct? - the arch to top don’t seem deep enough, but I might be wrong.

Rue Rottembourg, Paris. Viaduct.

Sparkie2182 27th December 2022 08:19

Interesting answers......

The two islands are connected to a town in North Cumbria..
Belle island is correct.

Sparkie2182 27th December 2022 08:25

#2567......

The bridge....the question was posted mostly as matter of interest rather than a test of knowledge.......
