| Beer Paint Instead of guzzling pitchers of beer, artist Karen Eland makes pictures out of beer. The 38-year-old painter has turned pints into portraits of everyone from Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga to President Obama. Eland uses about a pint of brew per painting, layering the suds on canvas as if they were watercolors. "It's a little harder than watercolor paintings because the beer is stickier than paint, and also comes off easily if you spill water," said Eland, adding that she prefers using lager to paint. She said the paintings take several days to finish, depending on the amount of detail she painstakingly includes. The only problem is she doesn't always have enough beer to toast the completion of a work. "Usually I taste a little of the brew before starting to paint, so there isn't always much left," Eland said. |
| You don't say..... Pennsylvania has had more breweries in its history than any other state. -------------------------- Bottle caps, also known as “crowns," were invented in 1892 by William Painter. To prove they would not leak he shipped several hundred cases of beer, round trip from the USA to South America. ----------------------------- The first beer to win a blue ribbon at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 was Pabst, thus earning the title, “Pabst Blue Ribbon. --------------------------- Watch what happens when you toss salted peanuts into a glass of beer - the peanuts dance. -------------------------- Belgium has the most individual beer brands with 400. -------------------------------- The best-selling brand outside the US in the Western Hemisphere is Brahma Beer. -------------------------------- The United States two-dollar bill features three brewers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams. In fact, George Washington installed a brewhouse on his grounds at Mount Vernon. --------------------------------- In the Czech Republic, beer is cheaper than Coke. A half litre at the local pub costs just 30 cents (10.50 CZK) while a half litre of Coke costs 85 cents (30 CZK). However, beer is a little more expensive than club soda. |
