We all know that beer pong is one of those games that every average dude should know. It requires skill, concentration, and an unusually large stomach. If you’re anything like us at a UCF tailgate, then you’ve probably played the game to the point that it has become mundane... More...
Shipyard makes some of the most popular beers available down here in Florida. Seeing Pumpkinhead Ale in stores for the first time in a season is like Christmas morning. Aside from their regular beers, they also have a series called Pugsley’s Signature which is basically their high-end line. When I heard about their Pugsley’s Signature Smashed Pumpkin Ale, I couldn’t wait to try it out. Luckily, I got the last bottle at my local Total Wine but I haven’t tried it yet. The only drawback to this series is that it’s quite pricey.
If you’ve ever been curious about trying all of the beers in the Pugsley Signature Series and you live in Florida or New England, you can pick up a sampler pack with 22 oz. bottles of each of the four beers for $24.99. You can read the full press release below. (more…)
Here’s a giant map of the US that shows what states have the best beer. The data is based on “Great American Beer Festival medal winners 1987-2007.” I’m booking my flight to California as we speak…and I may never see any of you again so farewell. Click here to see the full-size map.
50 years ago yesterday (January 22nd, 1959), Coors Light introduced the aluminum beer can. Up until that point, cans were mostly made of tin. The introduction of aluminum cans also led to the development of aluminum recycling. Fascinating, huh?
The can gets a bad rap because most inexperienced beer drinkers (frat guys) don’t understand the mechanics of how taste works. About 80% of what you taste comes from smell. When you’re drinking from a can, what’s pushed up into your nose? The can. That’s why beer from a can “tastes” like aluminum. If you take that can and pour it into a glass, straight down the center to release some of the carbon dioxide, the resulting glass will taste better than a beer out of a bottle. You can thank the Anheuser-Busch hospitality center at Sea World for that little tidbit.
Yesterday, December 1st, was a very bitter sweet day for me. All day I was psyched about getting my brand new 47″ HD TV (a full inch bigger than fellow average dude Scott’s TV). It was like Christmas day a full 25 days ahead of schedule only to be sorely let down. I went to turn on my favorite HD channel Mojo only to find a crappy Christmas movie. I hit info on the guide to see my beloved channel was now Hallmark Movie Channel. I flipped out and went straight to the internet.
I quickly found out that the entire channel was pulled off air. It turns out the channel was a collected venture by most of the major cable companies to provide as much HD content on their lineup. Since more and more HD channels are popping up, they felt they no longer had to fill that void. So people like me that became a loyal fan of just about every show they had is screwed. (more…)
Samuel Adams has a little-known selection of beers that they like to call “extreme.” Among them are Chocolate Bock (which I need to try), Triple Bock, Hallertau Imperial Pilsner, and…..Utopias. I’ll let them explain:
Truly the epitome of brewing’s two thousand year evolution, Samuel Adams Utopias® offers a flavor not just unlike any other beer but unlike any other beverage in the world. Its warm, sweet flavor is richly highlighted with hints of vanilla, oak and caramel. With an alcohol content of 27% by volume, its complexity and sweet, malty flavor is reminiscent of a deep, rich vintage Port, fine Cognac or aged sherry while being surprisingly light on the palate. And like the world’s finest after-dinner drinks, Samuel Adams Utopias is not carbonated and should be served at room temperature.
Yes, 27% alcohol by volume. That’s 54 proof. Utopias will run you about $130 for a 24 ounce bottle. I know a certain dude who’s having a birthday soon…
Shipyard Brewery is gearing up to release two new products in their new Pugsley’s Signature series: Barley Wine Style Ale and Imperial Porter. If there’s one thing you can count on from Shipyard, it’s kick-ass beer. You can read the press release below for more details. (more…)
So cakes and cookies are good and all but nothing beats your grandma manning up and doing a keg stand. This nanna here is a true trooper at the age of 83! What you didn’t see is grandpa off in the corner doing a bong hit….
Me and Dyna just attended a welcome home party for Shipyard’s seasonal Pumpkinhead Ale. It’s something we look forward to all year (I think I still have some in my fridge from the stock-up last year…)
If you happen to be a fan of Pumpkinhead, pumpkin flavored brews, or just fall stuff in general, get ready to hit your local Shipyard reseller. This stuff rules.
“Scientists” have declared that the so-called beer goggle effect that has been a friend to so many butterfaces is, in fact, real.
Surprisingly, the beer goggles effect was not limited to just the opposite sex among the ostensibly straight volunteers recruited for the study — they also rated people from their own sex as more attractive.
The last part of that quote is just about enough to make even the straightest of dudes swear off beer. I’m drinking alone from now on.
