"Ironic is the fact that the more interested I get in beer, the less I drink of it. In my younger days I drank a lot, but was not ready to learn about good and great beer."

How about some home made metal furniture from beer cans (Aug, 1936). 420 cans has been soldered together and has produced the table and chair shown in use below. Bernard Dier of Chicago made it in ten days. I think that the construction would not last a week in my home. Are the cans empty or not. Empty ones seen way too unstable to do furniture like this.

Lars was in a hurry and was served a beer that was too cold, but wrote a computerprogram on the fly to fix it.

I love beer and computers, so this test to combine the two, is funny in my world. Other than rebuilding a PC case into a kegged beer dispenser, I have not thought about putting beer inside a PC. The guys over at Toms games (a part of Tom's Hardware) are doing fun stuff with small real world application potential. Shelton Romhanyi compares the PC cooling properties of three beers: Coors Light (US), Guinness (Ireland) and Franziskaner Hefe-weissbier (Germany). The result is in the video.

The great Carlsberg with Menthos experiment. Ever tried it? Well here is what happens when you combine Carlsberg and Menthos.
Just as surprising reactions as the Menthos and diet coke reaction. Maby just a tad bit harder hitting conclusion :-)
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there- Larry the Cable Guy
Comedian and actor Larry The Cable Guy (Daniel Whitney) has been honored in his hometown. A new local beer has been named after his famous catchphrase, "Git-R-Done". Born and raised on a pig farm in Pawnee City, Nebraska his family then moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. Like many comics he began his career on a dare at a local comedy club in 1986. Daniel will now be able to order Git-R-Done ale when he's home in Pawnee, Nebraska thanks to the bosses at local microbrewery SchillingBridge.
Beer and humor goes together well.
I like to make fun of Coors. That is mainly because if their war against beer served at temperatures where you can taste it.
So this former Coors brewer, Tony Vieira, has started his own brewing company, Naked Lion Brewing, in Memphis, with his beer brewed at City Brewing in Wisconsin. Vieira started in the brewing business in 1989 when he worked in Budweiser's research brewery, doing experiments on beer.
The first beer, Copper Flask, is described as “a full-bodied lager that uses a sour mashing process similar to the one used to make some whiskeys.” The Vieira family chose the company name because lions are featured prominently throughout brewing history. For example, Lowenbrau, a Munich brewery, features lions on its labeling. Its name means "lion's brew," a reference to when it was first brewed in 1383 at The Lion's Inn in Germany.
Tony Vieira, who has an MBA from Vanderbilt University, financed the $500,000 start-up himself to maintain equity in the company.
I am somewhat curious abut the serving temperature of the new Copper Flask.
Coors is often the source of funny and stupid inventions. I have reported on them before (in Danish). If all goes according to plan you can soon look to the mountains on the bottle, and find out whether or not your beer is ready to drink.
The Golden-based Coors Brewing Co. has launched its new Coors Light Cold Activated Bottle. When the beer hits the correct temperature, mountains on the label turn from white to blue. As part of Coors' plans to market the concept nationwide, it has announced the "World's Most Refreshing Happy Hour." Company "ambassadors" will work with retailers to promote the new bottle.
Coors Brewing Company executives, employees and distributors are joining forces to build awareness and trial of the company’s latest innovation, the Cold Activated Bottle. Mountains on the label turn from white to blue when Coors Light is at the optimal temperature for cold refreshment. In cities all over USA, Coors ambassadors will be working with retailers to engage consumers and encourage trial of the Cold Activated Bottle.
When drinkers choose Coors Light, they're looking for refreshment. The Cold Activated Bottle is designed to ensure that drinkers experience the coldest, most refreshing beer possible.
On May 18, we are celebrating our newest innovation by inviting consumers to come out and raise a cold one for the World’s Most Refreshing Happy Hour.
The dudes over at HogDawg Brewery gives a video presentation of a brew and a grand tour of the brewery. They show you the ins and outs of making a batch of all-grain beer. They loosely cover the ingredients, the process, and have a lot of fun along the way.
You'll also get a chance to meet Guinness, the patron saint and official fly catcher of HogDawg Brewery. This link is just pure fun.
Really funny video about those not so great moments you can have. Thanks to beer, all will be well.
I finally got around to brew my wedding ale again, with small modifications. This beer was served at my wedding two years ago, and was a huge success, although I was not satisfired with it myself.
A couple of months after my wedding, I was subject to a blind test. There was this nice ale among the beers. I was the only one in the room who did not get the joke, as I was not part of the conspiray to smuggle beer from my wedding and present it to me in this manner.
What I learned is that you are your own biggest critic, as I really liked my own beer, when not knowing that it came from my hands. So now I am brewing the this lovely beer once again.
One big diffrence was also that I made a wirlpool in the brewpost just prior to racking the beer the the primary fermenter and pitching. This gave me a cleaner beer by far, but I had to saccrifice several liters of wort to the trub from the hot and cold break.
Skøn kommentar omkring koldt øl fra Coors. Vores varme hænder ødelægger nemig deres iskolde øl. Videoen her viser praktiske eksempler på hvordan man fx kan benytte en nyligt afdød person.
Nå ja jeg har såmænd tidligere beskrevet en anden løsning på problemet.
Det er tydeligvis ikke længere bare et dansk problem med alt for koldt øl. På http://www.probrewer.com/ læste jeg den rigtig fjollede historie om øl der serveres under frysepunktet, med dertil hørende slush ice. Hvor tåbeligt er det?
Britiske pubber er nu gået så langt i 'amerikaniseringen', som de selv kalder det, at de serverer øl, der i bogstaveligste forstand serveres iskoldt, med krystaller og det hele.
Opskænkningsprocessen, med at kunne serveret øllet under frysepunktet har været længe undervejs, og Coors har brug ti millioner £ på opfindelsen, der har kastet 50 patenter af sig.
Kritikerne (herunder mig selv) mener da, at alle vædsker der er gule, ville kunne serves i systemet med success. Man man ikke kan smage produktet overhovedet, og det er måske en fordel? Nu skal man altså ikke længere lave en kriek af infceret øl, det skal nu bare serveres på en Coors hane :-)
Det er overraskende at denne udvikling sker i landet, der er kendt for at servere øl ved rumtemperatur. Coors har bebudet at de første hundrede pubber i år vil får den højteknologiske hane installeret. Processen hvormed øllet serveres er meget avanceret og inkludrer flere forskellige kølingsstadier og en ulralydspuld for at få krystaller til at blive dannet. Ved servering er øllet minus 2.5 C, og sikrer derved at øllet er iskoldt indtil sidste dråbe er drukket. Puha - giv mig en 'varm' øl i stedet.
