| "Here and There" by Clay Moore and Jay Silvers At the 2016 Great American Beer Festival, craft beer's most prestigious event, held in Denver, beers from California took home nearly a quarter of the medals awarded, A Texas church in the town of Canyon publised an ad in local News calling craft beer “the Devil’s Craft,” urging sobriety and including a verse from the Bible purporting the notion that Jesus was an early prohibitionist. They nearby Imperial Taproom then offered patrons $1 off their tab if they brought in the ad. The latest innovation from Starbucks combines espresso and craft beer to create what they call an Espresso Cloud. The drink is compromised of espresso "shaken over ice with orange pieces and a touch of sweet vanilla. Shaking the espresso produces a rich cloud of micro-foam with accents of citrus and vanilla. The foam is layered on top of a freshly poured IPA, and the beer is served with the cold-shaken espresso shot on the side." Researchers at the University of Colorado-Boulder have turned brewery runoff into low-cost lithium-ion battery electrodes. The brewery wastewater contains a fungus called Neurospora crassa that grows naturally in the sugar-rich liquid. Not only does the fungus clean the runoff, but it also creates "one of the most efficient naturally-derived lithium-ion battery electrodes known to date." Scientists have just reproduced yeast from a strain found in five bottles of beer found in a ship that went under in the early 1800s. We have no idea why. Night Shift Brewing has made a beer that combines ghost, jalapeno, and habanero peppers. They say it's balanced with agave nectar. We'll still pass on that one. For the three years past Two-thirds of all beer sales in autumn have beer for pumpkin based beers. This year sales have dropped dramatically showing American drinkers have finally come to their senses.. Monday Night Brewing Company in Atlanta rose out of a Bible study group that as you might have guessed met every Monday night. Japanese brewery Sapporo made a beer featuring barely grown from seeds stored on the International Space Station. Those two facts have nothing to do with each other. Almost all beers are made with just one grain: Barley. Sure, other grains like wheat and rye have their place but brewers determined long ago that barley contained the motherload of fermentable sugars and was the easiest to turn into beer. At any given time, 0.7% of the world population is drunk. That means 50 million people are drunk right now. Beer is the main contributor to the drunkenness Beer prevents kidney stones. A study published in American Journal of Epidemiology estimated that a bottle of beer consumed every day reduces the risk by 40%. Does that mean two beers reduces it by 80%? Diamond miners in Sierra Leone soak diamonds in beer to determine the visual quality of the stones. They usually use the cheap stuff. Louis Pasteur tested his bacteria-killing "pasteurization" process on beer before he turned to milk. He was going to call it "Louisization" but saner thoughts prevailed. During Prohibition in America people took to drinking hair tonic and posing as members of the clergy to get alcohol. Who can blame them. Virtually every polytheistic religion has a god or goddess of beer. The epic Finnish poem Kalevala spends more time on beer than on the creation of man. The Egyptian lion-goddess Sekhmet gave up killing forever because of beer. The age at which you are allowed to buy alcohol varies surprisingly little from country to country, usually falling between 16 and 21. However, parts of India have a drinking age of 25, the latest in the world. A cloud near the constellation Aquila contains enough ethyl alcohol to fill 400 trillion trillion pints of beer. Beam us up, Scotty! The moon has a crater named Beer. Earth as a beer called Blue Moon. A study published in the Journal of Proteome Research found that beers contain a surprising variety of proteins: at least 62, 40 of which come from yeast. Hops are a better source of cell-damage-fighting antioxidants than red wine, green tea and soy products, according to a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Hey, those guys are never wrong so go get a beer now! "You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning Clay and Jay See you next month! |
