For those of you who said knowing about beer will get you nowhere, be prepared to eat crow.
Model/Actress/Wet Dream Katarina Van Derham has become the first ever repeat St. Pauli Girl. Apparently, the Slovak’s impressive, perfectly-shaped set of beer knowledges was just too much to turn down. No, seriously, she was trained at the Siebel Institute of Beer Technology.
Now, we get to decide which poster to use. I’m partial to the sassy from-behind one. It says “catch me and be rewarded with beer and blond.”
Model kept on as St. …

The Department of Food Science and Technology at UC-Davis and its clearly-awesome researchers have decided to make all of our lives a little more enjoyable.
In a study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, they report that something we’re not going to pretend to understand called dietary silicon, commonly found in delicious beer, is important for bone and tissue health.
What does this mean? Drinking beers that are not exposed to high levels of heat (darker or malty beers) will keep those bones strong, and make …

We’ve been hearing about Sierra Nevada’s plans for its 30th Anniversary since last year, but now the project has a fancy website so it must be real.
Sierra founder Ken Grossman has brought four pioneers of the American craft beer industry together and, as often happens when brewers gather, beer was made. The four Sierra 30 beers (a stout, a helles ale, a barleywine, and an interesting combination of Sierra’s iconic Pale Ale, Bigfoot, and Celebration Ale) are going to be released on a staggered schedule beginning in March and …

Yesterday the British government revealed to the world a shatterproof pint glass…

This article, from the paragon of British journalism that is the Express, is amazing. This study is so true, I can’t believe it’s a study. It might be up for a Ig Nobel. UK beverage company BitterSweet “discovered” that men think women who drink beer “appear more sexy, confident, fun and independent.” Furthermore, a healthy 25% of those polled responded that a woman ordering a beer is actually kind of a turn on. Only 25%? A quick poll of the Tap That crew reveals a totally unbiased response of 100%.
Sadly, chicks …

A Must-Have for the Superbowl – Homemade Beer?
With most football fans choosing to watch the big game with friends at home, rather than a jam-packed bar, why not go the extra yard, and serve your very own homemade brew.
As craft beers continue to take up more space on fridge shelves across the country once occupied by Bud and Miller, check out how easy the brewing process is becoming. The most notable, and as far as this beer drinker is concerned, the coolest source of home brewing is …

Last Wednesday it was announced that Pennsylvania, with assistance from top NASA engineers, is developing new technology that may someday allow them the ability to serve beers in containers of six. A “six pack” if you will. This reminded me of another change on the way…
As a former PA resident I can say it’s hard to find a state with tougher beer and alcohol regulations.  That’s right, you heard me Utah.
Penn’s rules create a very limited amount of locations that beer and liquor can be purchased, locations that always …

Noted beer expert Stephen Beaumont stumbled upon this little beer castastrafuck on his excellent World of Beer blog. That’s right, Beer Margaritas. Way to ruin both my beer AND my margarita. I feel like someone’s dropped my birthday cake on the floor and scooped it back on the pate hoping I would not notice. No one likes these things. Oh wait.
Yeah, no one likes these things.

In a move clearly designed to toy with my emotions and make me fall back in love with her, my ex-girlfriend Burger King has gone ahead and decided to offer a Whopper and a Beer Value Meal. They’ll be offering a selection of canned beer that “will include Anheuser-Busch and Miller/Coors products” (read: Bud, Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Light) and some terrible place they decided to call the South Beach Whopper Bar. Seriously, Burger King, what could have prompted this change?
“The Burger King customer is aging, so …

Don’t worry, the waffles are safe, it’s the beer that’s in trouble…
News of ongoing labor strikes at a number of Belgium breweries have sent shakes of fear into the hearts of millions of beer drinkers around the world. Huge brands like Stella Artios and Hoegaarden are running desperately low as the picketing has now gone into its second week.
Where is Jermey Piven’s character from PCU when you need him? “We’re not going to protest, we’re not going to protest!”
Let’s just hope an agreement is reached soon, and I …
