| No Beer, No Firefighter MANVILLE (NJ) — The former president of one of the borough's three volunteer fire companies said he was voted out of his post earlier this month by the membership after he pulled the plug on unlicensed firehouse beer sales from a soda vending machine. Jason Zangara, 27, an active volunteer firefighter with Manville Fire Company No. 1, said that he had just begun serving his second term as elected company president when his decision to ban the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the firehouse was met with strong objection by the membership. Zangara said there was a long-term practice of selling beer at the firehouse out of a soda vending machine, but the firehouse had no liquor license. When members objected to his ban, he said, he opened up the machine and took the beer out. But members responded by bringing in a beer dispenser and giving out free beer instead. Zangara claimed he tried to stop the sales because it was dangerous for beer to be consumed before firefighters went to a fire. ------------ Beer The Starbucks Way With the announcement that hundreds of Starbucks across the USA will begin selling beer along with coffee this just might happen: (click to enlarge) |
| You don't say..... For six of the past eight years, an IPA has been the top new craft brand in a given year. So the reign of hops carries on. The biggest week for craft beer sales is in July, specifically, around the 4th which is the largest selling craft beer day. ----------------------------- Bud Light Lime Ritas franchise is doubling. The brand is introducing two new permanent flavors – Mang-O-Rita and Raz-Ber-Rita – as the third and fourth flavor profiles in the Bud Light Lime Ritas family, which also launched a fifth flavor – Bud Light Lime Cran-Brrr-Rita. Ugh. -------------------------------- A drive by Anheuser-Busch to make Major League Baseball's Opening Day a national holiday reached its goal of 100,000 signatures five days before a March 26 deadline. Now it's up to the White House to respond to a signature campaign that garnered support from baseball fans across the country.. -------------------------- Colorado’s governor was hard at work installing a draft beer system in the governor’s mansion. Gov. John Hickenlooper, the original co-founder of Denver’s Wynkoop Brewing, can now pour beer from his state’s revered beer makers. ------------- A Tasmanian whisky has been named best single malt at the prestigious World Whisky Awards in London. Tasmania Distillery's Sullivans Cove French Oak Cask took out the honour, judged against more than 300 other whiskies. It is the first time a Tasmanian distillery has won the award, which has been dominated by Scottish and Japanese distilleries. Hey if you like beer you like single malts. ------------------ Since 2011, Hops for Heroes brewing program has been expanding each year. The dedication to our troops by the craft brewing community can be seen with 11 total breweries participating in 2014. This dedication can also be seen by the growing number of sponsors. Look for a can in your local store. |
