Okay, first I'm going to admit that I've never played beer pong with homebrew, mostly because I imagine there should be a law against it. Wait a minute, on second thought, what better way to get rid of that test batch you brewed that went horribly wrong??

 We're suckers for mixing creativity and beer, so when I saw Orphanclone's Legorator, I had to ask if we could post it. I mean, look at how homebrew can bring both sides of the Force together! [Original Link]  
  If you have been waiting, now is the time!
IMHO they are one of the best pieces of equipment any brewer would love to have! We're talking about a hassle free, insta-read thermometer that will be the last one you ever buy. Get em' while they last HERE.  There are a lot of great yeast calculators out there like mrmalty that tell you how much dry or liquid yeast is needed and whether or not a simple starter should be used.
A free calculator that we have grown very fond of lately expands this recommendation to include "stepping" up the starter over a period time. This allows you to better estimate how much yeast you will have when the starter is finished. It's called YeastCalc! Happy yeast growing!  Here are a few cool items from a website we found called Cool Material. This pint skull glass could be a nice addition to your collection. Promise me though that you won't drink an apricot flavored beer out of it--that just seems wrong.  Pallet coasters.. HA! Buy them here (or make them out of popsicle sticks). I think I would load them up with small boxes and make our hampsters move them around. Get to work you lazy varmints!  This 4-Pack of Beer Soap goes perfect with a shower beer!
Scents apparently include Guinness, Newcastle Brown Ale, Blue Moon, Corona, Heineken and Brooklyn Red Lager. MMmmmm.  Dates for the Beer Bloggers Conferenced have been announced. Looks like a great time and at this point Jim Koch from the Boston Beer Company is listed as a keynote speaker. I'm sure there will be many others come July.
I wonder if our kooky blog even qualifies!? Prices and more information can be found here. Happy New Year everyone! Sorry for the delay in getting up new posts, things have been pretty busy. How about a few beer jokes until we find something interesting to post. Cheers! Q. - What did the drunkard get on his I.Q. test? A. - Drool. WARNING, the consumption of alcohol may cause you to thay shings like thish. A pirate walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender looks down and says "You know that you have a steering wheel in your pants" The pirate replies "Ay, it's drivin' me nuts" I give in to BEER pressure. A drunk is driving through the city and his car is weaving all over the road. Eventually a cop pulls him over. "Did you know," says the cop, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?" "Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf." The hard part about being a bartender is figuring out who is drunk and who is just stupid. An Irishmen, A Scot and an Englishmen are in a bar. a fly lands in the Englishman's beer. In disgust he pushes his beer away and walks out. Another fly lands in the Scots beer. He shrugs, plucks it out and drinks his beer. A fly lands in the Irishman's beer. He violently pulls out the fly and puts his finger on it squeezing and yelling, "Spit it out you wee little bugger! Spit it out!" A nun, a rabbi and a priest walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "Is this some kind of joke?" An Irishman walks out of a bar. A little boy was lost at a large shopping mall He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my dad!" The cop asked, "What's he like?" The little boy replied, "Beer and women with big boobs." and finally, an oldie but goodie...
The Beer Prayer Our lager Which art in barrels Hollowed be thy drink Thy will be drunk (I will be drunk) At home as I am in the travern Give us this day our foamy head And forgive us our spillages As we forgive those who spill against us And lead us not into incarceration But deliver us from hangovers For thine is the beer The bitter and the lager Forever and ever Barmen |
