Ten unexpected uses for beer. The list is a bit disturbing and irreverent of the beer gods, but it's interesting. Don't use real beer for any of these things. I recommend Budweiser.

I don't know how I missed this one from last week:
A man drove a truck into the brewery on Victoria Quay, Dublin 8, yesterday evening; hitched up a trailer containing 450 kegs of different beers; and drove off into Dublin's traffic just as rush-hour got under way.
The haul contained 180 kegs of Guinness, 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 kegs of Carlsberg and has a total value of €64,000. In the pubs, the loot would represent approximately 40,500 pints and a whopping bar tab of approximately €160,000.
Wow, 270 kegs of beer and 180 kegs of Budweiser. Look for a truck in a ditch about 20 miles away.

Alright, I'm beginning to get a little more respect for multi-culturalism: New research indicates Indians in the Southwest may have used corn to ferment beer before Europeans arrived. I assume "fire water" applies only to distilled spirits.

Perfect beer news for a Catholic blog: St. Mary The Virgin Church in Potterne, near Devizes is celebrating a 750th birthday in style. Local brewer Wadworth has produced a special beer to commemorate this event called St Mary's 750th - Divine Ale.

I like an honest beer reviewer:
Is there coffee in this stout [The Poet]? That would be my guess. But then I get a taste of chocolate. This one's a bit confused - I can't tell what the hell's going on in this beer. I'll get back to you after I drain another bottle.
