Sounds Like a Fair Trade
Dec 29th

From the AP here:
BERLIN (Reuters) – A thirsty German sold his 6-year-old step-daughter’s pet beagle to the owner of a bar to pay for beer, the Bild newspaper reported on Friday.

The man spent the proceeds quenching his thirst for beer.

Oscilloscope Belch
Dec 14th
The geek in me had to post this. Some guys playing with a waveform oscilloscope, and they belched into it. What’s almost funnier is that the person behind the camera laughs like Muttley from Wacky Races. Click on the pic to see the vid.
Robot Bartenders
Dec 8th
They mix the drinks and insult the customers. Next year they will light your cigar too.

From Reuters here:
Staring with glowing red eyes at a young woman strolling by, bartender Chapok slowly extends his arm to offer her a gin and orange.
She takes the glass, murmurs a flustered “thank you” and walks away while the cocktail-mixing robot turns his attention back to a row of bottles.
Chapok is one of around 30 robots at Vienna’s annual Roboexotica, which showcases how home-built machines deal with the modern pastime of hanging out in bars.
Robots were invited to demonstrate their skills in categories like mixing cocktails, serving drinks and snacks, bar conversation and smoking cigarettes and cigars.
Even Camels in Ireland Drink Guinness
Dec 6th
A camel broke out of its pen and ate 200 Christmas mincemeat pies and a six pack of Guinness.

From Reuters here:
DUBLIN (Reuters) – Staff at an Irish riding school were forced to postpone festivities after Gus the camel chomped his way through 200 mince pies and several cans of Guinness intended for their Christmas party.
Gus, starring in the riding school’s Santa’s Magical Animal Kingdom show, helped himself to the feast while staff were getting changed for the party.
The 11-year-old camel, originally from Morocco, cracked open six cans of Ireland’s famous stout with his teeth after the door to his stall was left open.
Pabst Brewing Company
Dec 5th
Pabst Brewing may not be in the same league as Anheuser Busch or Miller Brewing, but as a company, the brewer manages, brews and markets some of the best National Regional Brands.
In their stable, Pabst has Ranier Beer, Lonestar, Olympia, Blatz, Strohs, Piels, and more. Of course, old staples of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Schlitz are on the list too. The company is still privately held. And its excellent website is located here.
Stag Beer – Worth Killing For?
Dec 5th
At least, according to one elderly woman in St. Louis. Her husband brought her a beer, but it was warm, so the woman shot her husband in the chest 5 times. The couple had been living without power for a few days since a rough winter storm swept through the area, so tempers were likely frayed.

From the St. Louis Today:
A St. Louis man was shot to death Sunday night over a warm beer, police said.
St. Louis police say a woman shot her husband, who was about 70 years old, four to five times in the chest after he tried giving her a warm can of Stag beer.
Police said the wife admitted shooting him about 5:40 p.m. in the kitchen of their home in the 5100 block of Terry Avenue. Police said the home had no electricity at the time.
Homicide detectives would not identify the man. The woman, whom police also did not identify, was taken into custody.
Santa’s Butt Banned from Maine
Dec 4th
A beer, called “Santa’s Butt Winter Porter” is banned in Maine because the label depicts St. Nick sitting on his wide hiney atop a large keg of ale. The ban is in place because the beer “may appeal to children.” The beer is made in England, but imported by the Shelton Brothers. The Brothers are suing the state of Maine because they think that the state is engaging in censorship.

After all, even if the beer appeals to children, they aren’t allowed to buy it until they are 21, right? From the AP here:
A beer distributor says Maine is being a Scrooge by barring it from selling a beer with a label depicting Santa Claus enjoying a pint of brew.
In a complaint filed in federal court, Shelton Brothers accuses the Maine Bureau of Liquor Enforcement of censorship for denying applications for labels for Santa’s Butt Winter Porter and two other beers it wants to sell in Maine.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday, contends the state’s action violates the First Amendment by censoring artistic expression.
States have the power to regulate alcohol through the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition in 1933. “But I don’t know where they get the idea they can ignore the rest of the Constitution,” Shelton said.
The homepage of the beer is located here. In it, they describe how the English store the beer thusly:
We hasten to point out that in England butt refers to a certain barrel used in brewing — a very large barrel, in fact, holding 108 imperial gallons. Back in the day it was quite a normal thing for a brewery to put its beer up in a large butt for storage.
And the final bit or irony? The Shelton Brothers operate out of Belchertown, Mass. Heh.
