No. Seriously. Somebody has invented deep-fried beer, y'all, and we couldn't be more thrilled. Unless they figured out a way to remove all the calories.

Unlike deep-fried maraschino cherry juice, there is absolutely nothing funny about this snack. For starters, it's made out of pretzel dough, so it's already won our heart. But it gets better! The finished product -- in which the beer retains its alcohol, in case you were wondering -- looks like ravioli, so we can feel kind of classy whilst getting completely trashed on fried pretzel booze. It's like somebody asked "What do people love?" and actually answered the question correctly (i.e., alcohol and carbs).

This precious manna was invented by Mark Zable, and will make its grand debut and at a deep-fried-food contest at the Texas State Fair. Finally, that excuse to go to Dallas we've been looking for presents itself: deep-fried pretzel dough with a beer-filled pocket on the inside!
