Beer and Wine Journal. We’re not foolin’ — at least about beer.
It was April Fools Day on Wednesday. Every year, many breweries post press releases on April Fools Day announcing a spoof beer or some other prank. This year, I’ve collected some the best here. But first, there were some beer stories on the web that were not April Fools jokes. For example, someone felt it necessary to point out that these five beers are real. Also, apparently someone decided to make a dress out of beer and bacteria and announce it around April 1st.
So, here — with minimal introduction — are some of the best April Fool’s gags this year. If I’ve missed anything particularly good (and I’m sure I have), post the link in the comments section. I did see a gag Shiner beer announcement, but now can’t find it.
