| Drink and Read At the Same Time Rogue Ales is no stranger to unusual recipes, having brewed beers with chocolate, hazelnut, maple, rose petals and even garlic over the years. Its White Whale Ale, however, contains a truly “novel” ingredient: a few pages torn from a copy of Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick,” which were tossed into the brew kettle. The beer, an India pale ale, was brewed in honor of Portland, Ore., bookseller Michael Powell who was inspired to take up his profession after finding a first edition of Melville’s seminal work in a box of books he’d purchased. Presumably, the pages dissolved (or were filtered out) prior to fermentation, before they could impart any of that moldering paper flavor of oxidized beer. -------- Distilled Ice Cream Now available - ice cream with distilled spirits somehow frozen into them from SnoBar Co. of Florida. This isn't a frozen daiquiri or a slushy treat with malt liquor in it. These are high-quality frozen pops and rich ice creams with actual distilled spirits as part of the ingredients that took three years of research to develop. You have to be 21 to buy them. |
| You don't say..... The number of Americans who say they drink has changed little over time, averaging about 63% since Gallup began surveying American drinking habits in 1939. ----------------------------- Anheuser-Busch consumes about 15% of the entire U.S. rice crop for brewing beer. ------------------------------------ After writing and signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the founding fathers toasted the signing of the document with Madeira wine..No one suggested beer. -------------------------------- Abraham Lincoln held a liquor license and operated several taverns.. --------------------------- British men have been found twice as likely to know the price of their beer as their partner's bra size. A recent poll reported that 77% of males knew how much their beer costs but only 38% knew the correct size of their mate's bra. ----------------------- Most vegetable and almost all fruits contain a small amount of alcohol in them. ---------------------- The three most common pub names are in the UK are: The Red Lion; The Crown; The Royal Oak. ---------------------- Try putting beer inside dough and dunking it in hot oil for just 20 seconds. When diners bite into the pretzel-like dough it mixes with the beer to make a delicious taste sensation. |
