God Bless Oktoberfest

I don't think this is a problem.

These are probably the ladies who benefitted most from men being drunk. If they really wanted to motivate sobriety by refusing sex, they should've enrolled some women that men would actually want to have sex with. I'm just saying...

Muy COOL!

Mexican brewery Cerveceria Hacienda (facebook) has released three new bodacious libations: Hidalgo Stout, Catrina Red Ale and Jaguar Pale Ale. Australian artist Andrew Rose pimped out the label design. !Muy Caliente, Andrew!


I hope the brew drinks as smooth as it looks...

This is why you're not supposed to operate heavy machinery while drinking.

I can't say that I wouldn't try this ... or at least try to get someone I know to try this.

The Strongest and Most Expensive Beer in the World ... maybe even the Galaxy

This is brilliant. Established in April 2007, the Scottish Brew Dog brewery has set out to completely redefine the craft beer industry in the UK. Well, now they've done it.

Gizmag.com reports: Scottish brewery BrewDog has reclaimed the world record for the strongest beer in history with a 55% alcohol beer which it has named “The End of History.” Only 11 bottles will be available, and each bottle will come inside a stuffed animal – seven Stoats will be available at GBP500 and four grey squirrels at GBP700, making it also the most expensive beer in history.


The beer bottle is literally inside a stuffed animal. I'm hoping they're all animals that were captured on the Brew Dog brewery campus and forced to sacrifice their bodies to the science of better beer making (and drinking) practices.

But, if you're wondering why the Brew Dog clan is so dedicated to creating the highest quality, highest alcohol beer on the market, you can simply blame the Germans.

Their brewing process to get higher ABV is quite logical, yet time consuming and meticulous. Everyone knows that water freezes faster than alcohol. So, here's what these guys do: They freeze their beer. When the water turns to ice, they extract the alcohol and use that for the rest of the brewing process. Oh, and they also dress up like penguins. At least they did when they were creating their Tactical Nuclear Penguin brew, which is 32% ABV.

I can't wait to get my grip on a bottle of one of their brews.

Beer Truck Accident

Normally you see this with chickens in movies. Then there are chickens all over the road. But this beer truck accident is both a tragedy and a comedy. Hopefully no one was hurt.

The aftermath looks like a Sunday morning clean-up in the basement ... only our beer bottles are emptied.

Unbelievable Dedication to Drinking ... maybe too dedicated

Trapped drunk driver cracks another beer

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Trapped after flipping his car while drunk driving, a New Zealand man opened another beer as he waited to be rescued.

Paul Nigel Sneddon, 47, pleaded guilty to careless driving and drunken driving in a district court in the North Island city of Palmerston North, the Dominion Post newspaper reported Wednesday.

Sneddon failed to take a corner on June 1, crashed through a wooden barrier, and flipped his car onto its roof.

The newspaper quoted defense lawyer Peter Young as telling the court when Sneddon found he could not open the doors, "he had nothing else to do at that point, so he had another beer."

When police found him trapped in the vehicle his breath-alcohol level was 1,191 micrograms — nearly three times the legal limit of 400 micrograms.

Prosecutor police Sgt. Ollie Outtrim told the court Sneddon went on a drinking bender after losing his job at a bakery.

Asked by an officer how much alcohol he had consumed, Sneddon replied: "'Plenty. I've been drinking for four days straight,' adding he had just lost his job in a local bakery," Outtrim was quoted as saying.

Judge Gregory Ross fined Sneddon 1,100 New Zealand dollars ($776) and disqualified him from driving for 10 months. 

Relief for Soccer Fans

Yes. World Cup mania is even hitting the john ... because the game doesn't stop just because you have to drain the lizard.

(There's gotta be a "play with my balls" joke here, but I'm going to show restraint.)

Skinny Blonde Beer Bares All

It was only a matter of time before some beer genius took the classic "nudie-pen" technology and applied it to a beer bottle. Introducing, Skinny Blonde beer. Three dudes from down under banded together to create a low-carb, all-natural brew that they say is great for "session" drinking. I'm going to assume that means you can drink these things all day long with little side effect? The alcohol content is likely as low as the taste, but this buxom brew does have one thing going for it - the label bares all as you sip away your inhibitions. Sounds great for summer. I'll be stocking my fridge as soon as I find these beauties at my local liquor store.

Don't Wear Orange to the World Cup!

It's a stunt. They happen all the time. But can you really arrest the people hired
to carry out the guerilla marketing effort? 

More than 30 women were ejected from the Johannesburg stadium on Monday during the match between Denmark and the Netherlands.

They were accused by Fifa of breaking strict rules on World Cup marketing.

They had all been wearing identical mini-dresses in Dutch orange, sold as part of a gift pack by a Dutch brewery. (full story from BBC News)

Way to go Bavaria. You got what you wanted. Hopefully none of your gals get locked up for too long...

But next time, if you hand out a bunch of orange Official Beer Gloves, you can get everyone in the stadium in on the action. And you know they're not going to jail an entire crowd!! But if they did, WOW, just think of the PR you'd get then.
