| "Here and There" by Clay Moore and Jay Silvers The Polish Beer Lover's Party won 16 seats in the nation's parliament. The main plank of their platform is to reduce the consumption of strong alcohol and increase the consumption of beer. They also advocate drinking in pubs instead of at home. The Belgium dubbel, tripel, and quadrupel are aptly named. They just different strengths of the same beer style. The dubbel features flavors of chocolate and burnt caramel with low bitterness. The tripel has some sweetness, spiciness, and citrus flavors. The quadrupel flavors are molasses, pepper and dark fruit.. .

In 1956 the government commissioned a study on the quality of beer post-nuclear exposure (our tax dollars wisely spent - right).

From 72 pounds of coffee fed to the elephant the return is only 2 pounds of black ivory A motorcyclist walks into a bar holding a chunk of asphalt,looks at the bartender, and say, "Get me a beer - and one for the road. Feel free to laugh. From 1882 to 1950 a literal blue ribbon came with every bottle of Pabst. The company bought almost a million feet of blue silk ribbon each year and hand tied some around each bottle. Also one marketing campaign featured women blindfolded with blue ribbions happily drinking Pabst and proclaiming "The one has the touch!". Dogfish Head in Delaware was the first one to make beer using crushed lunar meteorites. It was only offered at their pub for one day. The moon dust added minerals and salts to the Octoberfest style brew giving it a subtle extraterrestrial flavor. Dogfish bought the dust from ILC Dover, a company that makes space suits.

Alec Waugh "If you can't drink a lobbyist's beer and whiskey, take his money, and accept his gifts and still vote against him in the morning then you don't belong in politics." Jesse Unruth Jay walked into a bar yesterday and ordered a double. The bartender brought out a guy who looked just like him.
