Magic Teabag Will Turn Your Crappy Beer Into Craft Beer [Video]

Here in Grand Rapids, we take our beer drinking seriously, so I'm not sure how we're going to feel about a tea bag for your pint glass. Unless, it makes the beer better. Maybe? No?

Regardless of how we feel about it, it's happening. A special teabag has been developed to transform ordinary bland lager into a taste-explosion craft beer.

The “beer bag” works in the same way as a tea bag does. But instead of infusing fruit flavors and spices into hot water, the user drops it into a mug of beer.

The Maryland company that developed the idea, Hop Theory, is currently looking for investors via Kickstarter.

Here's the "hop theory" explained:

After two minutes of dunking, the flavor of your beer is transformed into a craft beer -- without the cost or calories of a craft beer.

Amazingly, each beer bag can boost the flavors of up to four beers, so one bag could keep the drinker going for a solid session at the bar.

The math makes sense. Why pay eight bucks for a gourmet beer when you can pay two? But… Pulling a teabag out of your pocket while at the bar will make you look like a tool. It’s like bringing your own syrup to a pancake house.

If you’ve acquired a taste for expensive things, but can’t afford them, you have a choice. You can take shortcuts - like the beer bag - or you can go out and make more money. C’mon, man. Go out and make more money.
