| Space Martinis For the stylish space voyager, sucking liquids through a straw out of a foil bag is never going to cut it. But a new Kickstarter venture hopes to produce a zero-gravity-friendly martini glass. Created under the Zero Gravity Cocktail Project, the glass is designed with a series of grooves that prevent the liquid inside from forming into a floating blob and instead guide it neatly towards the mouth. Is a cosmic beer mug next? Drink To Look Good Want to seem more attractive to the opposite sex? Drink one — exactly one — very large glass of wine or an equal amount of strong beer. That’s what a recent study by a group of researchers at the University of Bristol concluded. Forty heterosexual men and women were then shown two images of a person, one taken while the subject was sober, one after the subject had consumed 250 ml of wine, and one after 500 ml of wine (two-thirds of a bottle) had been consumed. The photos of those who drank 250 ml wine were rated as more attractive, followed by images of sober subjects. The photos of those who had drank 500 ml were considered least attractive. The researchers attributed this to the increased facial flushing that comes with consuming low amounts of alcohol, along with additional muscle relaxation and subtle smiles that portray a heightened positive mood |
| You don't say..... Amstel set up a vending machine in Bulgaria that requires you to stand still in front of it for three minutes. If you succeed the machine will dispense a free beer. The machine is part of a promotion called "the Amstel Pause". --------------------------------. To qualify as a "Budweiser" horse, a Clydesdale must be bay-colored, at least 4 years old, have white stockings on all 4 feet, white faces, and black manes and tails. They also must stand at least 14 hands (about 6 feet at shoulder). ----------- A recent study found that mosquitoes are more attracted to beer drinkers than non-drinkers. It seems that body orders from consuming beer made the person easier to smell and find. No word if it makes you a more tasty nibble. ------------------- The Beer Institute and the Brewers Association are the two most powerful beer lobby groups. The former represents the entire beer industry, the latter represents craft, independent, and home brewers. Their main area of disagreement is on basing taxes on brewery size. ------------- Launched in 1995, Blue Moon was created by Keith Villa who decided a Belgian witbier would be more appealing to Americans if it was smoother. To do this he swapped out unmalted wheat for oats and curacao for orange peels. -------------------- Boston Beer's Samuel Adams LongShot contest is open to all home brewers. The submission window is May 1-16 and details are available at the company website. Winners will be announce at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival. |
