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. 

It Tastes Like Beer. But It Eats Like Ice Cream.

It's Beer Scream! It looks as though the Beer Bistro in Toronto is experimenting with beer-flavored ice cream. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I love the idea of beer-flavored anything. We were introduced to Beer Chips at the Great American Beer Festival a few years ago, and those turned out to be one of the greatest salty snacks ever invented. But Beer Scream? Maybe covered in a chocolate Stout sauce? I guess I'll have to make the trip to Toronto to check it out. If I come back with an extra 30 lbs. on me, you'll know it passed the taste test.

The Perfect Addition to Any Upscale Dorm

I guess this is a form of recycling. It kindof makes me wish I didn't throw out all those bottles from last weekend. I now have a project ... and a new focus for my beer drinking.

2nd Place finish in 1st bags league.

Not Even Spiderman Can Hold in a 12 Pack

Now, I can't say that Spiderman was wearing Official Beer Gloves at the time this picture was taken or that he had been drinking copious amounts of beer leading up to this event, but ...

Spiderman definitely has gloves on in this picture, and he definitely looks like he's had a few.

Fun in the Sun and Snow with Suds

Loving a big breakfast after a long weekend. Love the Loveless Cafe.

There's just something fun about Nashville. I'm not certain what it is, but I like it.

Beer, Bourbon, BBQ and one other "B" word...

So if this is the kind of tough-ridin' action going down at the North Carolina Beer, Bourbon & BBQ festival, I can't wait to see what happens in Nashville in two weeks.
