Great bar decor.The phrase egg in your beer is an idiom that generally means too much of a good thing or a bonus, something for nothing. It's a curious expression because adding raw egg to beer is not a common or recommended practice, and it's unlikely to improve the taste or texture of the beer.The origin of the phrase is a bit of a mystery, but it's thought to have become popular around 1940, particularly during World War II. Some suggest it might have been a practical method in the past to clarify beer by dragging impurities to the bottom of the glass as the egg sank. However, modern brewing techniques have largely eliminated the need for this.Ships from a smoke free home. No chips or cracks.
