Personally, I don't like coffee so it sounds gross to me, but you coffee lovers out there might like to read more...

They can't possibly award this patent. The product has been on tv for years on the Drew Carey show, known as Buzz Beer. Talk about prior art.

I had no idea there actually were caffeinated beers! None of them are coffee flavored though...
