Top 10 Coolest Sci-Fi Guns

Hmmm. I'm not sure I agree with some of the choices on this list of the Top 10 Coolest Sci-Fi Weapons. Maybe add the Auto-9 from the original RoboCop or the LAPD 2019 blaster from Bladerunner.

BrewBurger

I wonder how the BrewBurger tastes. Supposedly, it contains enough alcohol that it requires an ID to purchase.

The limited edition BrewBurger, dreamed up by BrewDog co-founder James Watt and Honest Burgers co-founder Tom Barton, is a 150g aged beef patty with Comté cheese and bacon glazed with BrewDog’s iconic amber ale, 5AM Saint.

The BrewBurger is topped with beef dripping and beer fried onions using BrewDog’s flagship Punk IPA and a BBQ reduction made from BrewDog’s Paradox cask-aged Imperial Stout.

A bottle beer, named Bourbon Baby, has been created by BrewDog to complement the dish - a barrel aged baby scotch ale with notes of spice and brown sugar designed to bring out the complex sweetness of the burger.

Olympics
