If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!That’s a poem my brother wrote a few years back about Guinness. They had a competition and whoever won, I believe won their own pub in Ireland. Below is a Guinness ad that purportedly cost 10 million pounds ($20.4 […]

I am really liking how social networking websites are open to allow third parties to develop cool content. foamee.com integrates with Twitter to allow you to “give” beers to people. Working at a craft brewery, this is a perfect application for us to use. Flying Dog routinely sends beer to beer bloggers nationally so that […]

The other beer company that has some bad advertising is Warsteiner. Their catchphrase is “Life’s Too […]
