Beer + TV = Perfect
Gadgetlovers, beer lovers, tv lovers can unite over this new invention. I guess the beer tap market doesn’t really change a whole lot year-to-year, so they had to come up with other ways of staying on top of the competition. They put an LCD screen into their tap in what they have named the V-Pod. It has a TV and 6 beer taps. I say whoever gets this in time for Superbowl has the biggest party.
The screen is pretty tiny,… More »

No, that’s not a dirndl she’s wearing…
But, yes, it’s true. The newest face of St. Pauli beer used to be a Playboy Playmate (Miss January 2001). Irina Voronina was named 2008 St. Pauli girl in a worldwide competition last year.
In addition to her “modeling” experience with Playboy, here are some other facts about Irina Voronina, courtesy of St. Pauli:
1, Irina grew up in Dzerzhinsk, Russia and currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Trashy “Celebs” Apparently Beer Drinking Draw
var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(320,447,133250,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()
Apparently what the beer drinking industry has really been holding out for are… trashy “celebs.” First comes the news that Jessica Simpson is the new face – and part owner – of Stampede Beer. Now, Brew Ha-Ha has learned that Drinks Americas Holdings Ltd. is collaborating with rock star Kid Rock to develop and market a domestic beer.
J. Patrick Kenny, CEO for Drinks Americas, said about the partnership:
Kid Rock is a reflection of great… More »
When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Growing
The economy is hitting everyone hard – including small brewers who are worried about rising prices on hops. The solution? Grow your own.
As the costs of hops rise – and the supplies drop – small brewers are the ones that suffer. They don’t have the leveraging power of the larger brewers and are often forced to take “leftovers” – which doesn’t necessarily result in quality brew.
Some brewers are looking into producing their own hops instead… More »
New Beer “Energy Drink” Plans On Ice
MillerCoors has announced that it will not yet release a new version of its caffeinated, energy drink. The product, named Sparks Red, would have weighed in with a whopping 8% alcohol content.
A launch was planned for October 1. However, the brewery has been asked by 25 State Attorney Generals to not release the drink because of the combination of high alcohol content and caffeine. Consumer advocates worry that the combination would be particularly appealing to young people.

Anheuser-Busch Tries Hard To Be American
var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(320,213,104783,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()
Anheuser-Busch desperately wants to be American, despite the fact that it’s now Belgian owned (gosh, that’s weird to say).
I’m sure that you know what I’m talking about – the overtly American-themed commercials, the red, white and blue branding and the use of the word “American” in everything. Now, A-B has introduced Budweiser American Ale, which went on draught this week. It will debut in retail stores on September 29.
According to A-B, the American Ale… More »
Waiter, There’s a Pizza In My Beer
It’s as American as apple pie: pizza and beer. But pizza in beer? I kid you not, it’s happening.
Mamma Mia Pizza Beer (either a tribute to ABBA or mom, depending on which way you look at it) is the brain child of Tom and Athena Seefurth of Campton Township, IL. The homebrewers had a few extra tomatoes in the summer of 2006 – and an idea – and Mamma Mia Pizza Beer was born.
The web site… More »
When Is a Name Just a Name? “Drug Smuggler Saint” Beer Causing a Stir
When is a name just a name? A Mexican brewery has recently introduced a new beer named after the “patron saint” of drug traffickers in that country. The brewery claims that it’s simply piggy-backing on a trend but critics have blasted the move as glamorizing and promoting gang lifestyles.
The beer, Malverde Beer, is named after Jesus Malverde. Malverde is a bit of legend, as details of his life have not been confirmed. What is generally… More »
Jessica Simpson Beer Ad Debuts
Just days after news broke that Jessica Simpson would be the new face of Stampede beer (no, I didn’t realize that they had an “old face” either), the ads have hit the trades. You can catch a glimpse at E.
And lest you think it’s all a big publicity fan, Simpson has a response for the haters:
Yes, I work out and take care of myself, but I also like a cold beer once in a while.
So there.

Beer Turns More Green – And Not For St. Patrick’s Day!
One of the frustrating things about Pennsylvania is that it’s nearly impossible to sample a new beer outside of a bar without buying a whole case (stupid beer laws, don’t get me started). One of the things that I love about vacationing in Maine is that you can pop into local stores and buy just one or two beers – a nice option when you’re in the mood to try something new.
A few years ago, I was itching to… More »
Olympic Beer Steins
Who knew that Budweiser produced beer steins for the Olympic games? I ran across this web site that sells the steins for each Olympics since 1982. It’s kind of an interesting niche. It’s hard to tell which are the best sellers because “sold out” is only indicative of the results if the original numbers available are the same. Nonetheless, take a peek and tell us your favorites.
By the way, beer steins are popular all over… More »

Beer Pong Goes High Tech
If the rumors are to be believed, frat boys across America don’t even have to leave their sofas to play beer pong. Their favorite drinking game is coming directly to the computer thanks to Nintendo’s Wii.
JV Games Inc. has announced that its newly formed Frat Party Games will be releasing a Beer Pong video game in mid-June 2008. The game is a take off of the popular (though Lord knows why) game of beer pong. In beer… More »
