Protect The Stache The proliferation of hipster culture and lumbersexuals means more guys seem to be rocking facial hair these days. Now those beer-swigging mustachioed men no longer have to suffer the injustice of a wet stache between sips of beer. Introducing the Whisker Dam, a handcrafted copper cuff dressed with a timeless patina and coated with a non-toxic barrier; that fits on the edge of a standard pint glass to protect prized upper lip hair. The makers of Whisker Dam call it an umbrella for your face so it could be used as anti-milk mustache device or no-foam nose guard when sipping your latte. Problem Solver A new beer, called the Problem Solver, claims to offer just the right amount of alcohol to enhance your creative thinking skills. The brew is based on research at University of Illinois at Chicago which found that the average person's creative peak' is reached at an alcohol level of 0.075%. Inspired by those findings, Danish brewers, Rocket Brewing, is making a beer designed to hit a person's creative peak. The IPA has an alcohol level of 7.1 % and comes with a chart on the back of the bottle to shows how much to drink for optimum effect based on weights for both men and women to hit the magical .075 %. Beware- the bottle also says: drinking more will do the exact opposite. |
You don't say..... How silly is it that you are required to write your age in to access brewery sites every time you access them? For the record, when we here at BeerNexus have to get into brewery sites, we always say we're 112 years old. --------------------------------. Check the bottom of your beer glass for laser-etched concentric shapes. They aid the production of carbon dioxide bubbles that rise to form a head. The precise level of carbon dioxide or nitrogen dissolved in beer impacts taste. ------------------------ Elizabeth Herndon recently set the women’s world record at the Beer Mile World Championships with a time of 6:17.76. Each competitor must consume four beers while running a mile in 1/4 mile increments. Each beer must be at least 5% ABV; anyone who pukes or discards a non-empty beer before the end of the race must run a penalty lap. ----------------- Delta is now offering a selection of craft beers on regional flights. The new brews will allow guests to drink like a local. ------------------- Most craft breweries say their beer is best in the first 120 days after leaving the brewery, but this window assumes cold storage. Beer at room temperature stales much faster than cold-stored bottles. -------------------- Seasonal beers account for 15% to 25% of all craft-beer sales. During fall and winter seasonals outsell even IPA, the most popular craft style in the USA. -------------------- A typical person can metabolize about one drink per hour. That translates to one shot of vodka, one beer, or one glass of wine. |
