Silliness.

I don't know where these guys are from or what they're saying, but I do know they have way too much free time.

With that said, if you have a more interesting way to open a beer, send it to thecaptain@brewsnbooze.com, and we'll post it to the site.

2 Things

1. I just bought a 6 pack of Levity from Joe's Bottle Shop and paid 9.78. I guess it costs a bunch to put it on a truck and ship it from the other world that is Fort Collins.

2. Jay McEntee sold it to me.

See ya Zima. Pussy.

The malternative drink that propelled countless pre-teens into a life of luxurious alcoholism will be produced no more.

Pour one out in the comments.

And please, fly your vaginas at half mast.

Whats behind that micro-goodness?

Wall Steet Journal says, New Belgium ranks among the top small businesses on earth. Thats how. Congrats bikey beer folks.
Its probably no coincidence.

Google: Friend of the B&B Blog . . . ?

Google introduces "Google Goggles"

Hey friends. It turns out that now you can set your Gmail account to challenge you with a Math question when you try to send an email during hours preset by you. Thanks Google. Because I'm always getting wasted and starting 'e-fights.' I cannot tell you how many times I've woken up after a wild night of recliner beers wondering if I "really did hit send" and checking my inbox and realizing "OMG I totally did."

So now I can set my account to make me answer a Math question before it sends. A fucking Math question!? You don't think I can do Math drunk? I excel at Drunk Math like Nathan Nowak excels at Drunk Driving!! How about making me do something really tough like operating heavy machinery or convincing my wife to have sexual relations with me? Because if I had to do that shit, I'd never send off those crisis-causing belligerant emails that Google is supposed to save me from now.

So in Summary, I say thanks but no thanks to your little 'google goggles' (thanks Sarah Palin-at least you're good for one liners). Instead of keeping me from sending 'drunk-mails', here's some shit I'd rather have you Drunk-protect me against:

-Being way to involved in awkward party conversations
-downloading music that I'll never listen to
-Having one more because there's something really good on Friday Night TV
-?

What else?

Ooopa-fucking-pa!

Contrary to chatter at exit177.com, Octoberfest SF was full of incredibly good looking people.
I've said this before, if you're a single young buck (that mate with doe) and you like to party, there are plenty of fish in the Bay. There is of course an obvious answer for that, of which you can find strolling around the downtown Crate & Barrel on a Sunday. With scarves on.
No but Octoberfest by the Bay pairs two great things: a loud, boisterous, drunken oompa pa band that plays Journey and the rest of the kids' favorites with panoramic views of a few national monuments and a rock, and a beer specifically made for festivals.
What a great idea. True banquet beer.

It was a huge crowd that blew through piles of kegs, but they contained only one beer, Spaten.
Apparently its a Munich staple and has been for like 500 years. You should read about it.
And it has a shovel for a logo that speaks not only to the quantity you'll have but also the fate of the end of your day should you abuse Spaten.

It was a dark bodied something or other. From the label I believe its an Urmarzen. And a damn good Urmarzen at that, if I've never had one.
After 3 liters, and of course they're sold in liters, it really didn't throw me to the ground as I predicted, and Luke Caudillo.
But it was enough for me to slip into an accidental conversation with a toothless security guard regarding whether or not the drunk dude that dove into the Bay would be arrested or not.
Let Spaten be the judge in that case. Track it down, its apparently on this whirl-wind national Octoberfest tour, so its pretty busy.












See, hot chicks.

Its GABF week bitches!

Is anyone in the midwest going?? I mean sheesh. I'll say this, and its a one time offer, if you go, live-blog it, and generate a 3 page report on your favorites, you can miss my wedding. For free!
But if you don't have your tickets yet, you'll be scraping them off craigslist at discount prices I bet.
According to their website, they're podcasting, web-streaming, blogging, everything but projecting the event onto the side of a russian sub.
Should be exciting.
Check that, its the funnest time you can have in 4 hours. Ever.
See you there! (via the internet).

Beer of the Season

Brown Ale - as the season changes and the leaves began to change and the temperature begins to drop, it is time for seasonal change in beer as well. This recommendation is not from own thoughts, but from the thoughts of Beer the magazine (www.thebeermag.com). The brown ale will make a great addition to a fall night BBQ or while feasting on venison (meat of any animal killed by hunting).

Best Brown Ale choices?

Sarah Palin Drinking Game

For tomorrow's debate, here's the game:

Rule #1: Every time Palin says something convoluted, non-sensical, or links together words that don't even make a real sentence; drink.

Rule #2: Every time you feel awkward and uncomfortable for Palin; drink.

Well. . . those are all the rules. Hope you don't have to work Friday, cause you're gonna be w a s t e d!
