Beer News (Jan 8–21)

BWJlogoIf you’re reading this, odds are you enjoy beer. And it’s likely that your parents also enjoyed beer . . . or wine or spirits. In fact, it is possible that your ancestors have enjoyed alcohol for hundreds of thousands of generations. Recently, scientists discovered evidence that humans have been consuming alcohol for 10 million years, long before they understood how to control fermentations to produce alcoholic beverages. Here’s link to the original article.

 

What a Croc!

Ever go to a wedding reception, only to find out that the bar only has macrobrews? It could be worse, you could have ended up being poisoned by the beer. This happened in Mazambique where around 70 guests died after drinking beer that was supposedly tinged with crocodile bile. Although the poisoning was real, the idea that crocodile bile was the poison was questioned and later discarded as the culprit.

A Beer with Balls

An Icelandic brewery has drawn a variety of reactions by releasing a beer brewed with whale testicles smoked over sheep dung. Environmentalists question whether endangered whale meat should be used at all while others poked fun at the beer as an attempt to draw attention to themselves.

 

A Beer with Oysters

It’s not that there aren’t traditional beers brewed with animal parts. Although oyster stout is usually a stout that tastes good with oysters, a few oyster stouts are brewed with actual oysters.

 

Brews Without Gluten

For celiac sufferers, Stone has released a gluten-free beer. It’s made using White Labs Clarity Ferm. Coors is also releasing a gluten-free beer.

 

Tempest in a “P” Font

Lagunitas was set to sue Sierra Nevada over their new hop oil IPA. According to them, the size, font, and kerning of Sierra Nevada’s “IPA” violated their copyright. Owner Tony Magee even took to Twitter to defend his case. Later, after a backlash from craft brew fans, he relented. And, Stone made light of the whole issue with a funny label.

  1. Hey Rich, yeah, pretty much chained to the board. $different projects, bacically, Frenianstekn being the priority, then Freak Show, as they’re the two main paying jobs. I do the other stuff when i get the chance.PS, glad you like the drybrush.

  2. Stay with this guys, you’re helping a lot of people.

  3. Romney is another clueless George Jr.. It’s hard to explain this kind of lack of awareness and lack of comprehension or understanding of the wider society.Except in some people like this they actually think ‘they’ achieved something by their own superiority instead of realizing/admitting their success was set up by family wealth or connections from the beginning.Take everything away from a Romney or George Jr. and put them on the street and chances are they couldn’t make it on their own merit.They really are the incurious village idiots..totally oblivious to any others world.

  4. I dislike! "Analytics" Hangs and very annoying, it's the most dumb thing that Google ever developed, w/o thinking that users whom doesn't have a fast bradband, CPU, RAM, etc should straggle with a ridicule slow done time in their end. Same problem with image search!
