| Beer Champagne Boston Beer Co Inc's Samuel Adams is launching a champagne-like brew later this month to prove that beer can be worthy of a New Year's toast. The limited run beer, called Infinium, will be sold in 750-ml bottles with foil-covered cork tops, like champagne. It is gold-colored, crisp and dry, with nearly double the alcohol content of an average beer and more than some wines. Infinium is the result of a collaboration between Jim Koch, founder of Sam Adams and Germany's Weihenstephan Brewery, the world's oldest existing brewery. Only about 15,000 cases will be available for the North American market, and Koch said that should generate less than $2 million in revenue (at $19.99 per bottle retail). "It's a small fraction of our sales, but it makes a big statement." Everyone is a Critic Steve Cowan, 67, from Madison, WI, after drinking a case of beer, used a shotgun on his television to show his disgust over Bristol Palin's Dancing With The Stars routine . The last time he shot his television was over a Brett Favre interception in a 2004 playoff game against the Eagles. The play ended the Packers season. Mr. Cowan was charged with 2nd-degree reckless endangerment and drunkenness. |
| You don't say..... If you collect beer bottles your are a labeorphilist. Tegestology is what collecting beer mats is called ------------------ Bourbon is the official alcohol of the United States, by an act of Congress. Many people have attempted to have that overturned in favor of beer instead throughout the years to no avail. ------------------------- King Frederick the Great once banned coffee to bolster sagging beer sales. -------------------------- In 1116 BC, Chinese imperial edict stated that heaven required people to drink beer. --------------------------- The first six-pack of beer was produced by the Pabst Brewery in the 1940s. The brewery conducted numerous studies, which found six cans were the ideal weight for the average housewife to carry home from the store. -------------------------- In olde England, town inns paid a government tax known as a 'scot' for serving beer. Beer lovers who left town to drink at rural pubs were said to be drinking 'scot free'. -------------------------- The United States two-dollar bill features three brewers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams. In fact, George Washington installed a brewhouse on his grounds at Mount Vernon. |

If he's got to be careful not to drink too much, it's because he's not to be trusted when he does.” Dorthy Parker "One more beer and I would have been under the host."
