| Homeless Man Opens Bar It had seemed like the shuttered Valencia Club had a new lease on life. Alcohol was flowing, and customers were crowding the bar. But Placer County detectives say the landmark business in Penryn (CA) was actually being operated by a local homeless transient, who broke into the club, re-opened it, and posed as the new owner. Investigators arrested Travis Lloyd Kevie, 29 on charges of burglary and selling alcohol without a license. Kevie allegedly broke into the building on July 27th, placed an open sign in the window, and started selling alcohol with a six pack of beer he purchased from across the street. ---------------------------- Hold That Stein Wisconsin Republican candidate for governor Mark Neumann may have a future in holding beer steins. He defeated three other contestants in a stein-holding advancing him to the national competition in New York. The contest requires competitors to hold a stein full of beer with their arm fully extended. Neumann made it about five minutes below his personal best of seven minutes. |
| You don't say..... "Ol" is the ancient Scandinavian world for beer. Experts cite this as the origin of the word ale which filtered into English from the Saxons. ------------------ For hundreds of years churchyard beer drinking was common in England. Many wills providing for ale to be given away on the date of the person's death. The drinking continued at the graveside usually until the beer ran out. ------------------------- Since the Middle Ages Monks making beer are allowed to drink five quarts of beer a day. Even with that incentive today there is a shortage of brewing monks . -------------------------- Budweiser Clydesdales pull a 7,000-pound red beer wagon. Each horse stands six feet tall and weighs between 815 and 1,000 kilograms They are all bay coloured with white blazes and feathers. The horses-- there are three hitches of them -- travel about 11 months of the year. They became the symbol of brewer in 1933. -------------------------- Tossing salted peanuts in a glass of beer makes the peanuts dance. The same is true of blueberries and, on occasion, inebriated people. -------------------------- Michelob was invented during a brewer’s strike in the 1930s from a recipe put together by the untrained workers left behind to run the brewery. It was so bad local taverns returned most of it. However, after the strike, it repackaged it and sold it as Michelob. |
