A beer that must be drunk warm and flat the following morning as punishment for thinking you'd be able to manage a whole can when you came home drunk, but in fact collapsed after just a mouthful.
Not to be confused with Hair of the Dog.

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2million.
