| Jun-10-11 | | bartonlaos: Torpedo - why would they name a beer after a military weapon? |

 | | Check It Out: <Our obsession with harnessing huge hop flavor led to the development of what we call the hop torpedo, a revolutionary method of dry-hopping designed, built, and debuted here at the brewery. Our torpedo is a sleek, stainless-steel piece of hardware that delivers more pure hop aroma than any method of dry-hopping we’ve ever seen. Like all our beers, Torpedo Extra IPA uses only the best whole-cone hops possible making this delicious ale worth the wait.> http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/t... |

 | | Phony Benoni: The following epic masterpiece appeared in <Chess Review>, September 1953, p. 260. Thanks to <crawfb5> for providing the source: -------
<A Pawn is the lowest Form of Humor> (News note: The Schlitz Brewing Company has made a large contribution toward the prize fund of the U. S. Open Tournament at Milwaukee.) The Open longed used System Swiss,
Now comes change to System Schlitz.
Oft we'll hear: "That game is gone!
White's too strong with his Pabst Pawn."
Into the ruck slips many an oxhead,
But leading the field will be a Foxhead.
Impetuous Youth would be the gainer
By making his play much Schaefer and saner.
Often a patzer, playing a riser,
Quits his chessboard, older Budweiser.
In rapid, warn the man who steals,
Move the moment the small bell Piel's.
At last, when games come out with notes,
From Rheingold (Fred) will come the quotes.
And in the notes your Chess Review
Will offer up a heady brew.

| Jun-28-11 | | Akavall: <Jim Bartle: "Three large beers, please." The same as for "Three beers, please." They're synonymous.> I was asking about German because I was going to Austria; their German differs from High German quite a bit, but almost all of them speak English. Anyway, I think you only get huge beers in Germany and Czech Republic, anywhere else in Europe usually a large beer is 500ml(which only slightly larger than a pint we get in the US) and a small beer is 300ml. So the fact that I learned how order a larger beer was quite helpful. Austrian beer is very good :). |

| | Check It Out: A guy walked into a bar and ordered three beers. The bartender told him it was against regulations, but he would let it slide. The guy sipped one beer, then the next, then the next and kept going until all were drained; then he ordered another three. The bartender asked him what the deal was. The guy explained that he had two brothers who both lived in different continents, and since they were tight agreed that each time they had a beer they would order three and drink together in spirit. The bartender was touched. A year later the guy came back to the same bar, same bartender, and ordered only two beers. The bartender set his beers down and sadly gave his condolences to the guy as he sipped one beer, then the other. The guy said, "Oh, no, both my brothers are still alive, but I gave up drinking." |

| Jul-05-11 | | TheFocus: On the eighth day, GOD created beer. And he saw that it was good. But with pleasure, there must be a little pain. Thus, on the ninth day, he created the hangover. |
|
| Jul-05-11 | | TheFocus: Every weekend, I go on a beer diet. After I polish off a case of beer each day, I force myself to throw up. I thereby get a great buzz but none of the water weight. I have not actually lost any weight, but I have lost several weekends altogether. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: If you can keep your head while all others around you are losing their's... well, it just shows that you can handle your beer better than them. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: To beer, or not to beer? Uh, what is the question? |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Give me beer or give me death! |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.
Give a man a beer, and he will drink forever. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Sometimes you drink the beer. Sometimes the beer drinks you. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: I would never have a beer with President Beerak Obeerma like those cops and professor did. I am very choosy who I drink with. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: I never go to karaoke. If I want to hear a drunk sing off-key, I will just take a shower. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: My doctor says I should only have two beers a day. That is good advice. I am seven years ahead of schedule already. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Bread is a terrible waste of grain. Make beer instead. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: I only drink beer made by professionals like Budweiser. I do not want any of your home-brewed, skunk beer. On the other hand, I never turn down any home-grown skunk bud. A man should live by his principles. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: My diet consists of "beer and pizza," "beer and pork rinds," "beer and Buffalo wings," etc. On the days I fast, I have "beer and beer." |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Why has no one ever come up with a tasty beer soup? |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Many people say that I become mean and surly when I drink. In reply to that, I say, "Oh, piss off!" |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: One thing Life has taught me: no matter how big your problems get to be, beer is THE answer. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: My last girlfriend told me I was very handsome whenever I sober up. I told her she was very pretty when I did get drunk. Man, I miss my belongings. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Some people call me a "falling down drunk." This is ridiculous. I have perfect balance and have never fallen down. Just sometimes, I LIKE to sleep in ditches. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: The French can devise many exceptional foods, but I have never seen a good beer dessert. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: No, I do not have a beer gut. This is a beer-pizza-pork rinds-hot wings gut. There is a difference. |
