Depending on your point of view, this is either tragic or funny. It happened back in June, but one of the passersby, Scott Bradley, shot a video which he recently uploaded to YouTube, and sent me a tweet. He apparently shot the video on June 17, 2009 as he was driving cross country from New [...]]]></description>

I stumbled on this very cool beer bottle cap game. It&#8217;s essentially one of those simple memory matching games but uses crowns and flash technology to create a fun little game.

You start out with 36 upside down crowns, after showing you them right-side up for a few seconds.

Then you have to find all the pairs [...]]]></description>

Today&#8217;s beer ad is from Germany. I saw an original of it framed at the Franconian Brewery Museum in Bamberg when I was there a couple of years ago. Again, I can&#8217;t be sure which, if any, brewery it&#8217;s advertising for. The text reads &#8220;Durst wird durch Bier erst schon,&#8221; which Google translates as Thirst [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been several months since I&#8217;ve done a Top 10 list, primarily because it&#8217;s been too hard to keep up with them weekly. So I think I&#8217;ll try once a month instead. I&#8217;ve been collecting old beer slogans for a project (more on that later) and so I thought I&#8217;d pick my ten favorite ones. [...]]]></description>

For today&#8217;s work of art we return to an old master, Pieter Bruegel (the Elder), considered by many to be the greatest Flemish sixteenth-century master. He was born in the Netherlands around 1525 and died in 1569. He was a Renaissance painter who began the Bruegel Dynasty that included six well-known artists.

Session #32 heads east this month, courtesy of Girl Likes Beer, whose personal goal to sample a beer from every country with their own brewery. She&#8217;s had quite a few west of her native Poland, but the east is still largely unexplored. So she&#8217;s invited us to go east with her. She explains:

The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University, is nothing so grandly academic as its name suggests, but one of a growing number of anti-alcohol groups infecting America with its agenda. Today, its Chairman and Founder Joseph A. Califano, Jr., accused the Brewers Association and the Beer Institute of Chutzpah (which [...]]]></description>

During World War 2, the brewing industry trade organization known as the United Brewers Industrial Foundation, which was formed by the USBA in 1937,  worked with the U.S. Government to create a series of ads to build morale and on their own to highlight the positive aspects of beer. Out of these grew the [...]]]></description>

Thanks to Anat Baron for tweeting this my way, but it seems that the storm clouds are once again gathering over ridiculous propaganda aimed at beer. Luckily, Reason Magazine — a periodical I&#8217;ve written for — is on the case in a piece entitled Beer Raped Your Daughter and Gave Her Gonorrhea. Again.
It concerns a [...]]]></description>

Today&#8217;s work of art is an unusual one. I chose it because it&#8217;s on display at the Denver Art Museum, where a good portion of the beer community has been all last week for the Great American Beer Festival. It&#8217;s a sculpture from around the 1600s of Bhairava, one of the forms the Hindu god [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s been a running gag at Shaun O&#8217;Sullivan&#8217;s expense that&#8217;s been going now for something like ten years. While Shaun has won medals at GABF with previous breweries he&#8217;s worked at and with the brewpub he co-owns, 21st Amendment, he&#8217;s never won a medal with 21A when he was attending GABF.
