Helium beer is the April Fools we wish was real

You know the way they put carbon dioxide through beer to make it fizzy? Ever wondered if you could use another gas instead?

Helium beer is the best idea that never was.

Those brewers at Sam Adams decided they'd have a bit of craic with their April Fool's joke by creating HeliYUM -a new beer kegged with He instead of CO2.

With hilarious results to delight our inner eight-year-old.

Sadly, it's all just a prank, and you won't be the life and soul of the party with your cartoon voice any time soon.

As a matter of fact, since helium is about 700 times less soluble in water than CO2, you wouldn't exactly be drinking a lot of it. Booo.
