In a wicked world of dishonest boozehounds and ripple junkies, one should never be too surprised by the size of the cojones on these shifty characters; that is, unless the bulge in their pants carries a striking resemblance to a couple cans of beer.

The global beer market is under siege. Powerhouse companies Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) and SABMiller have spent nearly $200 billion over the last decade, buying up the majority of brewers on the planet. What they have effectively created is a two-armed mega-beast of brew, capable of severing the heads of anyone else who dares to make beer within our solar system.

Would You Dare Drink a Ten Year Old Beer?

Mike Adams — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:59:59 +0000

While alcoholic folklore often paints a rotten picture of a man on a mission to drink himself blind with things like household chemicals, kerosene and anti-freeze, it is the consensus of “the committee” that not even the most desperate of the breed would dare knock back a bottle of decade-old beer.

It's almost the weekend, which is my favorite time to crack open a can of...well, if I'm honest, these days it's usually PBR. Times are tough, but not as tough as they probably were before this day in 1935, when the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company delivered it's first batch of 2,000 cans of Krueger's Finest Beer and Cream Ale to one of my favorite cities in America: the dirty river city of Richmond, VA.

Should Stores be Allowed to Sell Liquor on Sundays?

Adam West — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:37:22 +0000

Texas legislators have a bill to consider this session-one that would allow liquor sales on Sunday. When I moved here many years ago, I was surprised when I went to buy beer one Sunday and couldn't, mainly because it was allowed every other place I've lived. I was also surprised that you can only buy it up to a certain hour in Texas. In fact, the only other restriction on booze that I've encountered was in North Carolina, where you had to be a member of a private club to buy mixed drinks, unless food made up a major percentage of your business, namely restaurants. Beyond that, many bars could only sell beer and wine, unless they were a private club. But I digress.

We’ve always been under the impression that people drink beer because it’s awesome, but a new article suggests that hops addiction may actually be a real thing.

Russia Finally Admits That Beer is an Alcoholic Beverage

Mike Adams — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:00:31 +0000

There has been some speculation, throughout the years, that drinking booze can lead to intoxication, or even alcoholism. Because of this, Russia has finally decided to officially declare beer an alcoholic beverage as a means of keeping their citizens from turning into full-blown boozehounds. Like us Americans.
