| Have a quick one A new device can serve pints in just five seconds by turning the dispensing tap into a torrent of beer. Previous attempts to speed up beer dispensing failed because the beer would froth, putting a massive head on it. The new system, invented by IMI Cornelis and being tried by Coors in selected pubs claims to have solved the problem. What did you say? Have you tried one of the new lagers now on the market, Bierbitzch? Be aware however that you order one at your own risk. Check out their commercial at http://www.bierbitzch.com/ download.html to find out why. |

| American Brews Score at Great British Beer Festival The Great British Beer Festival judged a specially invited selection of American beers this year and the raves were heard across the pond. A blue ribbon panel of tasting judges selected Smuttynose Shoals Pale Ale from Portsmount Brewing in New Hampshire as Best Guest Beer. Rogue Shakespeare Stout was awarded second place, and Victory HopDevil was third. The professional tasters were not alone in recognizing the excellence of the USA products as lines at the American pouring tables were some of the longest at the Festival. ****************** Wynkoop Suspends Beer Drinker Competition The annual Beer Drinker of the Year competition sponsored by Wynkoop Brewing has been suspended because company founder John Hickenlooper was recently elected mayor of Denver. The new mayor explained he does not have the time to personally supervise the contest this year as he settles into office. The competition was held for seven years with beer drinkers from across the country submitting their resumes. Three finalists were selected and flown to Denver for final judging. |
