Who says you can't mix beer and religion?


Or was the saying you can't mix religion and politics? I'm not sure. Maybe it was you can't mix religion and weather? In any case, I do enjoy the idea of praying for beer. I also think that Jesus would've been one heck of a beer pong player. 



A Sign of Good Times

I love the small print: "cans and kegs also work in a pinch." 

I concur. From our home to yours, let's drink. 



Irish Baby

(I'm just assuming this baby is Irish. I have no real proof.)

Look Out Bud Select 55! There's a new water flavored alcohol on the market - It's called Air.

Water - infused with alcohol. Why didn't I think of that!? Thank you, makers of Air.

I'm not sure what to think about this one. But if what you're telling me is that Air has just created a "tonic" that has alcohol in it so I can add even more alcohol to my vodka drinks, then slap me on the bum and call me Shirley. I love it! Adding tonic, soda water or simply water to alcohol is WEAK. It looks like Air is upping the ante on all your favorite mixers, and I for one am elated.

Or think about this - it's 2am, you're getting really toasty, but you don't want to take your foot off the gas pedal until the sun comes up - pop open a can of Air to slow the downward spiral a bit. I used to drink Select 55 for that, but now I have Air. I'm going to start taking a bunch of "Refreshingly Original" photos and post 'em to their Facebook page. I've gotta get a ticket to one of these parties.

They say: Water just got more exciting. Bullshit! Life just got more intoxicating... You can't live without Air.

Makes Me Thirsty For Father's Day Breakfast

Rogue brewery has teamed up with the Portland-based Voodoo Doughnut shop to create a breakfast beer (yes, I realize it can be consumed at any time, but it makes me really want breakfast) that's got my mouth watering. Bacon Maple Ale is available in a 750ml bottle for the low price of only $13.00 (at Rogue's online store).

The down side is that it costs $20 to have it shipped. The up side is that the swine-inspired pink bottle is pretty sweet. And if I decide to have it shipped, it can be here by Father's Day ... which is when I intend to drink it.


But, I'm going to be a bit more thrifty. I hope I can find it in St. Louis, and I hope to enjoy it this Sunday morning with a pound of bacon, three eggs over easy and a maple long john from Donut Drive-In. God Bless Father's Day! And God Bless Rogue Brewing! And God Bless doughnuts ... especially Voodoo Doughnuts! And God Bless America!

Of course I smell like I've been drinking all day, I just took a shower.

Yes, beer smells fantastic. And I'm sure we've all imagined the wonder of swimming in a pool of beer. But until I ran across Beer Soap (website), the idea of cleaning myself with beer never crossed my mind ... except, of course, pouring a little beer on scratches inflicted while chasing an errant washer into the bushes - St. Louis, you know what I'm talking about.
The best part is that they really have a Beer Soap flavor for just about every kind of beer drinker. So, if you're a PBR guy, they've got a soap for you. Or maybe a fruity microbrew is more your style? They've got a soap for you too. It might be a bit pricey by soap standards, ringing in around $7/bar. But I'd say it's definitely worth it for that beer drinker in your life. Hell, throw in a pair of Official Beer Gloves, and you've got yourself a lathering shower loofa that you wear on your hand. We might have to co-pack these beer brothers for the holidays?

The real benefit of this foaming shower friend is that it's the perfect cover for when you're caught sloshed with no real excuse:

Wife (or over-bearing girlfriend): "Where have you been?!! We were supposed to be at my parent's house for dinner three hours ago. I know it doesn't take 9 hours to play a round of golf! You reek!!! Are you completely wasted?"

You: "No way, Babbie. I'm nod runk. I was upstairsh tage'n a shower in that seer boap you got me. I'll be ready to go to yours paren house after I take a quick nap."

Instant forgiveness!

Oh, and that reminds me - I need to put cup holders in the shower. That sweet smell of barley and hops always makes me thirsty...

Everything You Wanted to Know About the World Beer Market

Way to go, America! We can still throw 'em down with the best. Although we should really consider getting our per capita consumption numbers up. They're embarrassing. Even Finland is kicking our ass.

Beer US (Virtual Drinking Tour?)



I'm a fan of many here, but I'd choose Schlafly over Boulevard any day. Of course, that's probably my St. Louis talking. Maybe my goal for the summer will be to virtually drink my way across the country? Time to hit the liquor store...

Keep your other hand free for punching out d-bags

The Kebo One-Handed Bottle Opener is an engineering masterpiece. Long past are the days of wasting time with both your limbs while you try to open a bottle of beer. This modern marvel will not increase your beer drinking productivity - double fisting specialist status - it allows for multi-tasking, which is a great thing to put on your resume.

Buy one here. And enjoy your beer wherever your free hand shall lead you.

I'd like to give your inventors a high five ... while I crack open a bottle of beer ... mostly, because now I can.

Official Beer Glove APPROVED!

Cheers!

Best Superbowl Appetizer Award Goes to...

Buffalo Chicken Wing Cup Cakes!

The perfect combination of pre- and post- meal delicatessen. First, you dip the drummie in the cupcake's blue cheese buttermilk whipped frosting, and then you devour the spicy goodness of the cupcake cakeness. Truly amazing... my compliments to Chef Cromie! Next year - some type of bacon cupcake.
