Hail the Ale! Beer Blog

Just like the real game but the questions are harder, alcohol-related, and there’s no annoying Regis character. This game is pretty tough.  See if you can get to the Top Shelf. I only made it to Guinness so far…

While I typically like to keep my coffee and beer drinking separated, this article on brewing beer using your coffee maker does sound intriguing. I knew I shouldn’t have sold that coffee maker at the last garage sale!

Even if there was any other competition for this category, I’m sure this product still would have won. The Reef Fanning sandal has a bottle opener on the bottom. This would be great for walking on a trail of beer bottles, but it’s actual practicality is doubtful. I can just picture someone trying to impress their friends by whipping off their sandal and rubbing dirt, gum, and other grim all over their bottle to get it open. Any foot fetishists out there?

Well, that’s what they are claiming at least. They have a call into Guinness (the records people, not the yummy stout people) to see if that claim is true. Regardless, you have to admire their motivation.

Sydney – An
Australian undertaker is offering a beer-as-you-bury
service to take some of the sting out of bereavement, a Sydney
newspaper reported on Thursday. The company in Melbourne is introducing
a minibus – complete with a
mini-bar, coffee and a DVD player – in which up to 12 mourners can ride
with the coffin to the cemetery, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Managing director Martin Tobin said the concept may not suit all
families. “But for those who want to be together and travel with the
deceased,
particularly those with large families, it is a good option for them.”
The new service could be popular with the Vietnamese, Chinese and Italian communities, Tobin said.
