mR. bReWski says.......
| You don't say..... If you read BeerNexus you probably know that Budweiser is the largest selling beer in the world, but do you know who is #2? It's soon to be Snow, the Chinese beer brand partly owned by brewer SABMiller. Snow sold 2.3 billion liters, up 77 percent on the year. If it maintains this rate, it should easily overtake Belgian beer producer InBev's Skol to become the second-largest brand in the world by volume. ----------------- Just who are the most legendary drinkers of all time? We asked nationally known wine/beer expert J.R. Attamante for his list: John Barrymore W.C. Fields Hank Williams Andre the Giant Dylan Thomas Winston Churchill Ernest Hemingway Richard Harris Edgar Allen Poe Benjamin Franklin Robert Burns Dean Martin |
| Good Sportsmanship Beer University of Texas alumni and Longhorn football fans have their own unique ways of rooting for their team. For Rob and Amy Cartwright, UT alumni and founders of Austin’s Independence Brewing Co., it means brewing Oklahoma Suks Beer. Released once a year, Oklahoma Suks Beer is only available the week before the University of Texas football game, against Oklahoma University. "We’re releasing over four times the amount of Oklahoma Suks Beer this year, but inevitably there will be some Longhorn fans who won’t be able to get it. We brewed as much as we could, and we’ll be able to brew even more next year as the brewery grows" said Amy Cartwright. Not surprisingly, the beer is available only in Texas grocery stores. |
