WTF is up with A-B screwing with beer lately? Now they are going to add caffeine to Nat. Light. Just leave the beer alone. Natural Light tastes like crap. Adding caffeine won’t help that. It probably won’t help sales except to those that are still drinking PBR and wearing trucker hats—a dying breed indeed.

Even appliances know a good beer when they see it in this ad for Tooheys Extra Dry

Have you had beer related problems and didn’t know the cause? Well, take a look at the drinking fault finder. Here’s a sample:

Symptom: Drinking fails to give satisfaction and taste; beer unusually pale and clear.
Fault: Glass is empty.
Solution: Find someone who will buy you another pint.

Symptom: Bar moving.
Fault: You are being carried out.
Solution: Find out if you are being taken to another bar – if not complain loudly that you are being hi-jacked.

Symptom: The opposite wall is covered in ceiling tiles and has a fluorescent strip across it.
Fault: You have fallen over backwards.
Solution: If glass is still full, and no one is standing on your drinking arm, stay put. If not, get someone to lift you up and lash you to the bar.

In Utah, it isn’t legal to brew beer. I didn’t know this. Just to make double sure you know this, South Salt Lake is putting a law on their books to make it illegal also. Got that? No brewing in Utah. You can buy all the parts, just don’t actually put them together and start fermenting. Fortunately, it isn’t a problem:

South Salt Lake officials say they merely want to rework their ordinance is to mirror state law.

“It's not something South Salt Lake intends to police,” Carlson, the city attorney, said. “There's no plan to hunt for people who are home-brewing.”

Then why bother? At least the mayor is more sane:

However, Mayor Wes Losser, didn't sound as amiable. “I don't care what people do in their own homes as long as it doesn't spill out into the public,” he said. “But if there were problems related to homebrewing, such as people going blind or a small riot breaking out, we have to think in extremes to cover all the bases.”
