In an age when the craft beer market is over-saturated and everything old is new again, it's refreshing to stumble across something you know for sure you haven't tried before.
Evil Mega Corp is a small outfit known for its big tinnies with big, big flavours.
They've teamed up with Maylands legends Seasonal Brewing Co to bring a beer that is perfect for those who want to live a little.
Dare to be Stupid — a banana pudding wheat IIPA — is a cracker of a tinnie which, just like it says on the can, has a nose full of banana.
It pours a hazy amber hue, with a pale white, foamy head.
On the palate, the first thing you'll taste is that strong banana flavour, which manages to be both sweet — with a hint of vanilla — and tart at the same time.
Then that banana flavour makes way for a dry, bitter German wheat beer-style tinnie that is both refreshing and delicious.
The label may dare you to be a bit stupid but the end result is actually refreshingly intelligent.
Enjoy it with those mates of yours that are always keen to try something different.

Al Pacino tests credibility as a priestly exorcist in this horror outing
THE RITUAL ★ ½ (MA) 98 minutes Exorcism movies are as much rituals as the exorcisms themselves, rarely intended to teach us anything new. The writer-director David Midell settles for going through the motions in his lacklustre The Ritual, the only real novelty being the presence of Al Pacino as the exorcist, despite the potential of the subject matter, a 'real' case that occurred in an Iowa nunnery in 1928 and was written up in Time a few years on. 'Real' has been put in quotation marks for obvious reasons, and in theory the film leaves the question open: the exorcism was real, but whether any demons were expelled is for the viewer to decide. For dramatic purposes Midell skews the balance in favour of belief, presenting Father Joseph Steiger (Dan Stevens), the film's representative of sceptical reason, as a weakling unable to face the truth confronting him. In any case, the film's claim to historical accuracy is not to be taken too seriously. Emma Schmidt, the possessed woman who is brought to the nunnery, is played by 27-year-old Abigail Cowen, although the real Schmidt was 46 at the time. I can only suppose this has been done for commercial reasons, meaning someone has decided that on balance the audience would prefer to see a younger woman tied to a bed while she writhes, sweats and makes guttural noises. The tying-down happens a fair way into the film, after the matter has been debated at length by Steiger, in his capacity as the parish priest, and Father Theophilus Riesinger, the elderly German-American exorcist played by Pacino, whose judgement is vindicated at every turn. Less prominently featured is the Mother Superior (Patricia Heaton), who complains at one point about a lifetime spent obeying the orders of men, a nod to feminism which under the circumstances is less than convincing. Nor does the film convincingly feel as if it's taking place in the US Midwest in the 1920s. The handheld camerawork is somewhat jarring in a period piece, but the bigger problem is that none of the actors seem to belong. Cowen is up for what's required of her physically, but lacks a character to play other than 'woman possessed by demons'.

‘Trying to kill us': Ruby Rose makes troubling claims
Australian actor Ruby Rose has sparked concern among fans after claiming people are 'trying to kill' her and making a chilling comparison to Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre. The 39-year-old made the troubling claims on Monday while responding to an innocuous question on Threads. An American radio host posted a question on his own account, asking: 'Who is a celebrity that gave it all up at the height of fame to go live a 'normal' life?' Ruby re-posted the question, writing, 'We just leave when people try to kill us. When we are illegally debanked and (redacted). Hope that helps'. She continued: 'I don't want to be labelled 'crazy' and I don't want to pretend to know how Virginia Giuffre died — but DOZENS of people including a school bus, have tried to run me off the road in the last few years. The posts Ruby Rose made on Threads. Credit: Threads 'I have been followed almost every time I leave my home, since the day I broke my neck back and ribs on Batwoman. Since then I have doubled down on (redacted) and Epstein. 'This has resulted in some seriously wild attempts on my life. Believe it or don't. But I might as well update you.' Virginia Giuffre was a high-profile victim of billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein who died on her farm in Neergabby, about 80km north of Perth, in April in circumstances that were not deemed suspicious. Just weeks before Giuffre's death, she claimed she had just days to live after being involved in a crash with a school bus. However, police later confirmed the collision was minor and no major injuries were reported after the crash. Australian actress and television presenter Ruby Rose in 2023.

Fans took to the comments section to express their concern over Ruby's safety. One person said: 'If you're truly being followed and targeted, staying put is dangerous. You need to move ideally to another country , where you can be safe and off the radar. Trust no one unless you're absolutely sure of them. Change your routine completely. This isn't about fear, it's about survival. Your safety comes first act now !!!' 'I really hope that from now on that you have are able to stay safe and live a happy life,' another said.
