Cavalcade O’ Beer Links!
SoB Stalwartâ„¢ Eric, as well as some other fine folks, sent me this bunch of links to cool beer stuff:
Do you, like myself, suffer from “setter-downer syndrome”? You know, you unthingkingly set something important, like your beer, down at some random location and spend the next ten minutes frantically trying to find it? Never fear, the Beer Pager is here. You’ll never swig out of a bottle that has been used as an ashtray again!
Do you find your nice clean pint glasses insufficient to squeeeze every iota of enjoyment from your beer-drinking experience? The kind folks at the Boston Beer Company (brewers of the Sam Adams beers) have you covered. They’ve engineered the ultimate beer glass, jam-packed with features designed to maximize your quaffing pleasure!
Do you love beer so much you want to move beyond simply drinking it? Well Men’s Health magazine is ahead of you. They’ve compiled a list of 32 Things You Can Do With Beer other than pour it down your gullet. Stop snoring, trick your miserly landlord, or catch mice with your favorite beverage! Thanks to Eric’s lovely wife Wendy for this one.
Do you enjoy some blues with your beer? Well, the Flying Dog Brewery in Denver Colorado is running a contest to send one lucky winner to the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival on September 14 -16, 2007. Entering is easy, just fill out this online form by May 13st! And for beer and blues any time, take a listen to my beercast homies at Big Foamy Head.
And you homebrewers out there, are you having trouble coming up with a snappy name for your latest creation? To your rescue comes the Random Beer Name Generator. I think SoB’s next beer will be Ruby Groundhog Day Rauchbier. Or maybe Big Bird’s Salty Red Porpoise Koelsch. Or possibly Shitszu-Mojo Maerzen. I could do this all day….
Thanks to Wesley for this one.

‘The Ewok Formerly Known As Finnigan’s Ferrell Hefeweizen’
It knew my name would be for Hefe, shockingly accurate!
