You don't say..... Horse a Pub Regular A horse has become a regular at a pub in the north of England.Peggy, a 12-year-old cart horse, likes bitter beer and pickled onion chips. Jackie Gray, who recently took over the Alexandra Hotel in Jarrow near Newcastle, said Peggy was a shock the first time she saw her. But she has gotten used to the horse. She's no bother when she's in, Gray said.. Peter Dolan, Peggy's owner, used to tie her up outside. But one day Peggy, on a rope that was too long, followed him into the bar and he quickly learned that the horse had a taste for bitter. Most of the regulars know her as she's been coming in here for years. She's a proper lady. "Sometimes she's better than some of the ladies we get in here" said pub regular Cullen Joseph. ----------------------- Happy 10th Anniversary He'Brew beer is now celebrating its 10th anniversary. Founder Jeremy Cowan says that starting out, he and his friends just thought it would be fun for Jews to have their own beer and brewed up something called "He'Brew." Ten years later, with 2 million bottles sold, it's not a joke anymore. Cowan says he likes the beer, but wouldn't want to abandon the inside joke that started it all, the punch line being "don't pass out, pass over." |
Beer Poll Why don't Australians drink more boutique beer? Are women turned off from beer by the image of overweight lugs chugging? Those questions and more are being researched by University of Tasmania sociology student Stuart Grant and he wants public input. "My project will help us understand how market dynamics affect beer consumption in Australia." Mr Grant, who is based in Launceston, Australia wants to interview people aged over 18 - both drinkers and non-drinkers - on beer. His mobile phone number is 0404 166021. Go ahead and give him a call even if you're not in his continent. He might enjoy the input and the phone company will surely enjoy it too. ---------- See the Beer Cannon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm BRZ7UR3Rw&mode=related& search (submitted by Brewer Jeff) |
