Well, in all fairness Gary, birria consomme is definitely "something to drink."
To clarify, birra Manabrea is an excellent Italian beer served at Spacca Napoli and Coalfire in Chicago (there are probably other places that serve it). It is superbly crisp and clean tasting, with a great yeasty snap. I would love to get my hands on some in six-pack form to drink at home with some grilled meats.
