| Say "I Do" with Beer Toasting the bride and groom with Champagne is de rigueur. But recently, couples hip (or is that hops?) to craft beers are shaking up the wedding reception scene by insisting on serving the brews they love on their big day, everything from local ales to home brews concocted by the bride and groom. Many receptions now offer tasting stations with beers from around the world In Albany, C.H. Evans Brewing Co. has available for rental a beer trailer suitable for pulling up to wedding receptions. Brewer's Alley in Maryland offers a "Wedding Alt" (an altbier is a German-style brown ale) in bottles that can be customized with the newlyweds' names. And last month, the nation's largest craft brewer, the makers of Samuel Adams beer, offered a "Brewlywed Ale." It was sold in wine-sized bottles with a sparkling wine-style cork. Can't find the perfect beer to have and to hold on your wedding day? You can always brew your own. Home made brew is the fastest growing new addition to wedding receptions according to Bridal Planning magazine. So clink your pints instead of those champagne flutes...."beers & cheers to the happy couple"! |

However according to Czech legend, deity Radegast, god of hospitality, invented beer.Some point to Ninkasiin ancient Sumer as the patron goddess of brewing while in Norse mythology the sea god Ægir, his wife Rán, and their nine daughters, all brewed ale (or mead) for the gods. ----------------------------- Like to run and drink beer? Try beating the record of a 5 minute beer mile VIEW HERE ------------------------------------ 12 oz of a typical American pale lager actually has fewer calories than 2 percent milk or apple juice. -------------------------------- Munich's annual 16-day Oktoberfest actually begins in mid-September and ends on the first Sunday in October. --------------------------- The Christmas song Good King Wenceslas was written about a King who ruled in the 10th Century. He wasn't such a kindly old man as we were once taught. He did in-fact order the death penalty for anyone caught exporting cuttings from any Bohemian hops because they were so valued. ---------------------- King Hummurabi of old Babylonia decreed that each person was to have a daily ration of beer, this amount determined by their social status. He then went onto say that women would be drowned if they served bad beer. |
