| Disqualified For Not Drinking Enough Corey Bellemore of Windsor, Canada, had set a new world record for the fastest time to finish the Beer Mile World Classic, but he barely had time to savor his victory — officials reversed the decision and offered him up a foamy glass of bitter defeat. According to race officials, Bellemore – who remains the fastest contestant to ever finish the Beer Mile World Classic after his record-setting time of 4:33 in 2017 – didn’t manage to drink enough beer while racing around the track. He was DQ'd by only 1/2 oz. The race tasks each contestant with drinking a total of four 12-ounce beers before hitting the finish line – one at every quarter mile – but Bellemore reportedly left more than four ounces (total) in bottles along the route, effectively disqualifying his run, which clocked in at 4:24. According to BeerMile.com, Bellemore left about 4.5 ounces, or a half-ounce more than was permissible. The second-place finisher, British runner Dale Clutterbuck, was awarded the win with a time of 4:47.. Want to watch the race?

No records were set but all the contestants finished the required amount of beer and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCRz_4qp8GI |
| You don't say..... Beer slang: BIN: Standing for “buy it now,” this acronym is strictly online jargon unleashed when a beer geek offers a rare beer for sale on a private Facebook group or secret online forum. .--------------------- The hottest selling and best general beer glass around is called TeKu: Introduced by the German company Rastal it is an angular, lipped, stemmed glass. ------------------ Hazeboys (also: hazebois or hazeboiz):is the popular term for the beer fan,who strictly buys, trades, and drinks NEIPAs (see also: juice, hazies). ------------------------------ Radlers are a German style that originated in Europe with cyclists who wanted to drink all day but not falling off their bikes, so they’d pour lemonade into their lighter lagers ---------------------------- Miller High Life is brewed with TetraHops, a modified hop extract from which isohumulones have been removed, making it resistant to skunking so the clear bottle is okay. ----------------------- Brut means very dry. So too with the fast growing brut IPA. The trend has only been in existence for about a year or so—too short in beer time to coalesce into a defined “style” ------------------------- The Great American Beer Festival in Denver is the single- largest beer event in the United States, drawing an estimated 62,000 enthusiasts to sample from brewers ranging from Avery in Colorado to Zwanzigz in Indiana, in every conceivable style. Brewers from every state are attending. |
