AMERICA’S FINEST BEER FESTIVAL CANCELED
Dear Vendors and Supporters:
The Rancho San Diego-Jamul Chamber of Commerce volunteers and mostly volunteer staff has worked for nearly six months to put together one of the finest beer and music festivals in San Diego. As a small nonprofit, we wanted so very much to do this event for the community and USO San Diego as a…
WEIRDEST ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AROUND THE WORLD
There seems to be no end of people pickling animals in alcohol and serving them as refreshing beverages, but whilst you’d expect scorpion vodka to come from Thailand or China, this brand is in fact produced and bottled in England, where a single ’farm raised’ scorpion is added…
US STATE IS RUNNINGO OUT OF BEER & LIQUOR
Hundreds of bars, restaurants and stores across Minnesota are running out of beer and alcohol and others may soon run out of cigarettes — a subtle and largely unforeseen consequence of a state government shutdown.
In the days leading up to the shutdown, thousands of outlets scrambled to renew their state-issued liquor purchasing cards. Many of…
BEER COCKTAILS – MIGHT AS WELL MIX THEM TOGETHER
Cold to the touch and wet on the tongue, ice-cold beer is one of the best antidotes to hot weather. Beer cocktails, then, are a welcome upgrade from the predictable cooler full of bottles at summer barbecues.
No doubt your guests will be familiar with the shandy, typically comprising a light-bodied ale and a mixer…
DOES ANHEUSER-BUSCH HAVE PLANS OF BREWING A ’619′ BEER?

WORLD’S OLDEST BEER OPENED
Finnish scientists have cracked open a cold one … a 170-year-old cold one, that is. The bottle of beer, salvaged last summer from the wreckage of a ship that sank near the Aland Islands in the Baltic Sea, was thought to be the oldest drinkable beer ever found.
Unfortunately, the Technical Research Center of Finland…
SABMILLER BREWING A BETTER BEER FOR AFRICA
A guy walks into a bar and orders a pint of beer. But this isn’t a pub in London or a sports bar in Milwaukee — it’s a watering hole in Uganda. And the beer, from the same company that brews Miller, is made…
CRAFT BEER IS BOOMING IN JAPAN
Walking through Tokyo’s garish Roppongi district on my first visit to Japan, I found it remarkably easy to ignore the pulsing high-tech signs promoting electronics, movies, and cars. What caught my eye was probably the most modest ad: a tiny bilingual sandwich board that said “Craft Beer Bar.” When…
STARBUCKS DEBUTS FIRST LOCATION OUTSIDE OF SEATTLE TO SERVE BEER & WINE
If you pop into the brand new Starbucks in Portland’s Brewery Blocks, you’ll find the usual lineup of coffee drinks. But unlike any other Starbucks in Oregon, you’ll also find beer and wine.
The Starbucks at NW Couch Street and 11th Avenue is the company’s first location…
NON-ALCOHOLIC WHEAT BEER BOOSTS ATHLETES’ HEALTH
The consumption of non-alcoholic weissbier, or wheat beer, has a positive effect on athletes’ health, according to a research study that gathered during the world’s largest study of marathons, “Be-MaGIC” (beer, marathons, genetics, inflammation and the cardiovascular system).
The study shows that after running a marathon race, athletes experience intensified inflammatory reactions….
