| "I'll be...bock" here comes Governator beer! |
| It's called "Governator" beer , a name reached by morphing the words "governor" and "terminator", according to Portland Brewing Co. CEO Jerome Chicvara who says he was surprised that no California brewer thought of it first. Portland Brewing will produce 3,200 cases bearing the Pumping Iron label as a humorous tribute to the 38th governor of California, "Terminator" actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The commemorative beer is being sold only in California. It's an extra special bitter ale that comes in a 22-ounce bottle with a label bearing a muscular figure posing like a body builder. |
Beware heavy pints. Matt Jackson.26, recently became the first person in GB to
be officially diagnosed with RSI (repetitive strain injury) as a result of regularlarly

Dog Beer.. really. Rumors have begun that Fisher Brewing (France) is considering
reviving an unusual trio of beers that caused a stir nearly a decade ago - La Biere
Amoureuse (an aphrodisiac beer) , Mom Toutou (beer for cats) and Mom Titi (beer
for dogs). Animal lovers need not worry as both the cat and dog beers are
non-alcoholic.

| Even Healthier! Evidence keeps mounting that beer might be even more healthy than red wine in protecting against certain heart related ailments. Now there's even more good news. A recent American/Israeli study revealed that beer is rich in silicon, a mineral associatd with healthy bones. The study found that men get up to 33% more of the mineral in their diet than do women. The reason for this, the study concluded, is that the men are getting it from the grain in beer. The women studied were found to be getting silicon from green beans, cereal, and mineral water. Green beans or beer - take your choice. |
