Are The Sugar Sticks still playing at Pub Italia on Wednesdays? I checked some listings, and couldn't find anything. (Whether or not they are, I'd be up for something like that, Davey. Maybe organize/roll-call a group outing there?)

Aloha,

Brad

That's excellent! I hadn't noticed, I haven't seen much of the new season with it being head-to-head with playoff hockey.

Finally someone's found a use for Fosters:

Scientists and Australian beer maker Foster's are teaming up to generate clean energy from brewery waste water — by using sugar-consuming bacteria.

The experimental technology was unveiled Wednesday by scientists at Australia's University of Queensland, which was given a $115,000 US state government grant to install a microbial fuel cell at a Foster's Group brewery near Brisbane, the capital of Queensland state.

The fuel cell is essentially a battery in which bacteria consume water-soluble brewing waste such as sugar, starch and alcohol.

The battery produces electricity plus clean water, said Prof. Jurg Keller, the university's wastewater expert. The 2,500-litre fuel cell will be 250 times bigger than a prototype that has been operating effectively at the university laboratory for three months, Keller said.

"Brewery waste water is a particularly good source because it is very biodegradable … and is highly concentrated, which does help in improving the performance of the cell," Keller said.

He expected the brewery cell would produce two kilowatts of power — enough to power a household — and the technology would eventually be applied in other breweries and wineries owned by Foster's.

"It's not going to make an enormous amount of power — it's primarily a waste water treatment that has the added benefit of creating electricity," Keller said.

i wonder if the government will give incentives for installing a brewery in your house and using whatever the hell you were writing about to do something or other.

You got me thinking of this -

Mmm, cloudy stuff....

Has anyone ever tried any beer cocktails? I haven't but I see some on my new favorite website.

Which one, if any would you dare try?

[Davey Boy 2.0]

i used to drink shandies before my sexchange operation. haven't felt the urge since

[dave-O]

My grandpa used to drink half-beer half-tomato juice concoctions all the time. Gross.

[AD]

my great uncle did that too, with tabasco sauce and pepper. a hairy red eye?

[ollie]

T-minus 30 minutes until my first beer!

[Ms.Huxtable]

I think I'm going to try a beer/tomato juice blender this weekend. I'm afraid but adventurous.

Do you think it would be okay with Clamato or should I buy regular ol' tomato juice?

[headymamamyrna]

That's fine but its more of a hangover drink!

[PassedOutGuy]

people drink that tomato juice and beer hangover cure up here in Alaska daily... its a pretty nasty thought but whatever...

[Ms.Huxtable]

That's fine but its more of a hangover drink!

Perfect then, cause I have a doozy this morning. Problem is... I have no more beer left for one of these, I drank it all!

[bradm]

Who here likes Oreos?

Aloha,

Brad

[Esau.]

Eight beers into my day. Fuck yeah.

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - A Brazilian court has ordered local brewer Ambev to pay 100,000 reals (US$49,400; euro36,400) to an alcoholic beer taster who drank about a liter and a half (3.2 pints) of beer each day.

The unidentified employee alleged that the company did not provide the health measures needed to keep him from developing alcoholism, a labor court in the Rio Grande do Sul state said in a statement Friday.

The employee said in his lawsuit that for more than a decade, he drank between 16 and 25 small glasses of beer during his eight-hour shifts at the company

The employee said he also received a bottle of beer after each shift.

An initial ruling had favored Ambev, or Companhia de Bebidas das Americas, which can still appeal the decision. The company alleged the employee already was an alcoholic before becoming a beer taster.

Judge Jose Felipe Ledur said the company still was negligent because an alcoholic should never have been made a beer taster.

Ledur also said the employee's alcohol dependency had worsened in recent years and that even on vacation, the employee felt like drinking the same amount of beer he drank at work.

i tried the PC wheat beer o'er the w.e.

it was a little bit on the insipid side but overall i liked it- a good summer beer as they say, cloudy and kinda light tasting

[Esau.]

Been awhile since I was able to put that many back... tonights goin be messy.
