But, what kind of beer was it? Are we talking about a hipster craft beer or busch light?

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — A St. Cloud woman was arrested after biting her husband's ear off during an argument over beer, according to a criminal complaint.

A criminal complaint filed in the Stearns County District Court said Jamie Elrod, 37, of St. Cloud is facing a first-degree assault charge.

According to the complaint, officers were called Friday evening to a domestic assault incident. Upon arrival, officers met with Elrod and her husband.

Officers noted in the criminal complaint that the husband was missing part of his right ear. During a search of the apartment, officers found blood as well as a part of victim's ear on the floor, the complaint said.

The victim told officers that he and Elrod had gotten into an argument over a beer, according to the complaint. The victim said that Elrod was yelling at him over a beer and then followed him into the bedroom where she reportedly "went off at him."

The complaint said it appeared Elrod had been drinking and, when asked what happened to the victim's ear, she said she did not know.

A review of the jail's phone calls made by Elrod revealed that she had admitted to biting the victim's ear off, according to the complaint.

Elrod is currently being held on $30,000 bond.

Yeah, I need to know the beer before I pass judgement.

Given that it's St. Cloud, it's gonna be Pabst. Or Natty Light.

What kind of beer???

ETA: Was she Black? Tell me no please.

I'm surprised at her age. 37 seems wrong. Ear biting should be relegated to the very young or people over 50 who are on the sharp decline. At 37, you should be limited to face slapping over beverages.

Crap, she sort of looks like me. Am I capable of this if we were down to our last Natty light?

I love me some craft beer but my H's ears are safe regardless of what he says about or does with them.

Beer people can be kind of cray. Maybe her H got the last of some limited release.

Oh yeah. MH said people were going berserk over Kane Brewing's "A Night to End All Dawns" release.

Look, I have had one drink in the past 30 days because of this damn medication and I have 30 days to go. If, at the end of that, my husband tries to take whatever drink I choose to end my draught will I bite him? Bitch, I might.

So, shortly before I got pregnant with S, H and I went to our annual wine warehouse stock up event.

By the time I could drink again, he'd already drunk all the wine.

I didn't bite his ear off, but damned if he didn't get an earful.

No! I would actually have murdered him. You are a good, strong woman.

But did he go back to the store? Going through several bottle of wine during a pregnancy seems normal to me.

It's a special, once a year sale in IL, so, no.

And it was a few cases. Admittedly, some went to people as presents, we hosted parties, took them as hostess gifts, etc., so he didn't drink it all himself. But there were some bottles I explicitly said to save.

I'm holding out hope for Granite City or Beaver Island.
