Beer + Popcorn = Pub Corn

I like beer, and I like popcorn, but I'm not sure I like the two of them together. As in, mixed together. University of Missouri senior Cary Silverman saw some kids sneaking liquor into a movie theater and a light bulb went off in his head: popcorn and alcohol hybrid! After some experimenting, he struck on the idea of making flavored coatings and brushing each piece of popcorn with it. As a result, you can now get beer, Pina Colada and Irish Creme-flavored popcorn. At least it's not bacon-flavored... I know some of us are getting a little overdosed on the bacon-flavored everything.
