| You don't say..... Largest Brewpub in USA (Lyons, Colorado) – The Brewers Association reports that Oskar Blues Brewery is the top- producing brewpub among the nearly 1000 currently operating in the United States. The nation’s first hand-canning craft brewery and makers of hand-canned Dale’s Pale Ale and Old Chub Scottish-Style Ale, Oskar Blues produced 5000 barrels of beer in 2005 to claim the top ranking. (A barrel of beer equals 31 gallons.) The brewery’s growth of 92% last year was made possible by increasing demand for the company’s hand-canned beers, which are now available in 13 states across the country. Handpull?? Seven of Britain's largest regional brewers have formed a think-tank with hopes of increasing lagging cask beer sales. Calling itself "Why Handpull?" the group has suggested initial changes that will stir controversy. First, they propose renaming real ale as handpulled beer - a name that they suggest means more to the general drinker than the terms ale or cask. They also maintain that the best way to improve the quality of what's on cask is to reduce the number of brands, then slowly build them up as cask handling skills improves. |
| Ice Luge Drinking Game A new drinking game for those hot summer days, the Party Ice Luge is now being marketed at www.Firebox.com. In order to play Party Ice Luge you need to fill the included container with water, freeze it. Once frozen you have 2 twisting luge runs to pour the beverage of your choice down. All you then need is 2 friends to slurp the ice cold drink as it exits the luge. Okay it’s not really game but I’m sure it will be pretty entertaining after you’ve had a few luge runs. |
