Viagra Beer?

On April 29th, the wedding between Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton will take place. As you can probably imagine, the Royal Wedding will be an incredible sight to be hold. However, I, frankly, could care less. So, why did I bring it up you ask? Simple: there has to be a party after the wedding and what better way to party than by having some beer! If it's a special beer brewed just for the wedding, even better.


The guys over at BrewDog Brewing have decided that they would brew such a beer. A beer that will help the new royal family enjoy their night even more. A beer, that as the label suggests, will help them celebrate "Big Willy Style". 


I am not one for gimmicksm usually, but I thought the idea of them making a beer called Royal Verility IPA and adding some Viagra to the beer was generally very amusing. Even funnier was the fact that these guys sent the Prince a bottle so he could "arise". Of course all this was in good humor. Go check out more info on the beer here. Apparently, if you drink 3, you'll be having a good night too!

Fasting for Lent with only Beer

Maybe you've heard by now that there's a guy who decided to take up the historical challenge of fasting during lent and consuming nothing but beer and water for 40 days. If you have no idea what I am talking about, http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/2011/04/beer_diet_diary_of_a_part_time_monk.php?page=2, is the link to a recent article about this guy, J Wilson. I'm not much on religion these days, but this is a neat story. Go read what he has to say about his journey.

Beer better than water after a work out

Seems a new article has emerged (ok, it's not exactly new, but it's being passed around the internet as if it were new) stating that beer is great, especially after a workout.

Beer Better than Water after a Workout

Jungle Jim's 2011 Beer fest

I received an email today informing me that Jungle Jim's has announced their 2011 Beer fest. The date for this year's event is Friday, June 17th from 7-10pm. The 2011 details are still being finalized, but make sure to add this to your calendar now. I have been in the past and it's been a very fun time. In the past, they have included food with tickets as well as plenty of beer and water to be had.

Last year I actually had an opportunity to meet several brewers and spoke with them about their beers. I imagine it will be the same this year. So, should you want to learn more, click HERE
