| 70 Years of Pouring Beer A suburban Pittsburgh bartender is calling it quits after more than 70 years. Angelo Cammarata served his first beer minutes after Prohibition ended in 1933, a 10-cent bottle of Fort Pitt at his father's grocery store. Guinness World Records dubbed him the longest-serving bartender a decade ago, and he's earned induction into Jim Beam's Bartender Hall of Fame and numerous other honors. Now 95, it's time for last call. He's selling the two-room bar he operates with sons John and Frank. Mr. Cammarata credits his own drinking of "two pints a day" for his good health. Caning For Drinking Beer A woman in Muslim-majority Malaysia has been sentenced to caning for drinking beer. The nation's Shariah law forbids Muslims — who make up 60 percent of the 27 million population- from drinking alcoholic beverages. Islamic morality police — enforcement officials of the Islamic Religious Department — arrested the woman in a raid for drinking beer at a hotel lounge at a beach resort in Cherating. She was sentenced to six lashes of a rattan cane by the Shariah court. |

Washington state leads the US in the production of hops. "Finings" is a substance made from the bladder of a sturgeon. It is often added to beer during conditioning to clarify it. The first college founded by a professional brewer was Vassar (NY) in 1861. The brewer was Matt Vassar and the school was only for women. President Ronald Reagan for a brief time acted as a spokesperson for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. During WWII the US government required American breweries to set aside 15% of their production for use by personnel in the military. The world's oldest surviving brewpub is reported to be U Fleku in Prague, Czech Republic. It was founded in 1499. Three major league baseball teams once owned by breweries were the Toronto Blue Jays (Labatt), the St. Louis Cardinals (Anheuser Busch), and the NY Yankees (Ruppert's) |
