| Pabst Blue Ribbon Pabst Blue Ribbon has been around since 1890 and it's still going strong. Every so often, it seems to get rediscovered by a new generation. So just in case you're stuck with someone who drinks that stuff you can impress without having to drink such swill by citing these facts: It was originally named ‘Best’beer after German immigrant Frederick Pabst married Maria Best in 1862, and began working at Maria’s father’s brewery, the Best Brewing Company. When Best died in 1889, longtime employee Frederick took over and renamed the brewery after himself. The “Blue Ribbon” tag dates from 1893 As legend has it, Pabst took the crown of America’s best beer during the 1983 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, but that title is dubious. Reports from the time indicate that only bronze medals were handed out. Sigh,theres nothing left to believe in. Zima Returns Do you believe in zecond chances? MillerCoors does. The global beer giant is reviving Zima, the once-dead malt beverage known as “zomething different.” The clear, citrus- flavored beverage, first introduced in 1993 and discontinued in the U.S. in 2008, is getting a second life — thanks in part due to the success of the alcoholic beverage giant’s Henry’s Hard Soda line.“If you’re one of the zillion fans who have missed Zima, the answer should be clear,” MillerCoors said in a statement read by their representative without laughing. Zima, which clocks in at 4.7 percent ABV, is expected to be on store shelves at some point in 2017. It remains popular in Japanese night clubs. |
| You don't say..... . About 40 % of what you pay for a beer is tax.. But now a proposed bill would cut the federal excise tax on a barrel of beer in half for small brewers. from $7.00 per barrel to $3.50. The break would also apply to small vintners, cider makers and distillers. ------------------------- New York State has surpassed 300 breweries for the first time since Prohibition, and now has a total of 326 in the state according to the New York State Brewers Association --------------------- Mantra Artisan brewery, unveiled a beer that uses diamonds in the filtering process. it is called the Miel de Diamant, which is French for Honey Diamond. The beer is dry hopped over more than 45 carats of diamonds from a local jeweler. The diamonds do not affect the flavor of the beer nor does the beer affect the quality of the diamonds. ------------------------------ In the 1880s nearly 65% of all the criminal arrests in New York City were for intoxication and disorderly conduct. -------------- Lloyds of London announced that it has now banned its employees from drinking at lunchtime. Under the new rules, anyone found to have enjoyed a pint between the hours of 9 to 5 faces the prospect of being fired for 'gross misconduct.' ---------------- In the history of craft beer, just three craft brewers have managed to brew more than 1 million barrels: Yuengling, Sierra Nevada and Samuel Adams brewer Boston Beer Co. ------- The Veil Brewing Co in Virginia has just released a craft beer fermented in hundreds of pounds of Oreo cookies. |
