| Gold Medal Celebration Nearly an hour after the Canadians won their third consecutive Olympic gold medal with a 2-0 win over the Americans, the players came back out on the ice in the near-empty arena, smoking cigars and swigging beer. (Rebecca Johnston even tried to drive the Zamboni.) "I don't think it's a good promotion of sport values," Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director of the Olympics, told the Associated Press after learning about the celebration. "If they celebrate in the changing room, that's one thing, but not in public. We will investigate what happened." Despite Mr. Felli's concerns, BeerNexus salutes the Canadian team especially for choosing beer over champagne to celebrate. Minister of Pubs The British government has appointed a minister of pubs, who will be in charge of trying to slow the rate at which pubs are closing. Wentworth MP John Healey, will head a five-minister task force. The Morning Advertiser reports he is considering tax breaks for pubs and giving tenants the right to buy pubs from landlords if they are threatened with closure. British Beer and Pub Association said the rate of pub closures is now at 39 a week. |
| You don't say..... The oldest written recipe in world is for beer. ------------------ 12 oz of a typical American pale lager actually has fewer calories than 2 percent milk or apple juice. ------------------------- Anheuser-Busch consumes about 15% of the entire U.S. rice crop for brewing beer. ------------------------ Monkeys and apes in Budapest's Zoo drink their way through 55 litres of red wine each year, albeit in small quantities each day, to help boost their red blood cells. ------------------------ At a press conference upon his arrival to New York in 1930, Einstein said jokingly of Prohibition: "I don't drink, so it's all the same to me." -------------------------- Bartenders hate to make a Lemon Drop (a combination of citron-flavored vodka, fresh-squeezed lemon juice and sugar. Why? The drink is time-consuming to make and leaves the bartender with sticky hands. --------------------------- Chinese wine is more like fuel than liquor, having a alcohol concentration as high as 60%! -------------------------- Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas celebrates 100 years of brewing with what else, 100 bottles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1zbLwCn7bYSpoetzl |
