Is Bud For Sale? It's Already In-Play!

Shares of Anheuser-Busch hit an all-time on Friday on reports that Europe's InBev SA was working on a $46 billion bid for the St. Louis-based brewer.

Anheuser-Busch shares rose 6.7 percent, or $3.54, to $56.12 in midday trading after reaching as high as $58.
The share surge followed a report on the Financial Times Web site that InBev, the world's biggest brewer by volume, may directly approach Anheuser chief executive August Busch IV.

InBev makes Beck's, Brahma, Stella Artois and Skol beer. Reports of its interest in Anheuser-Busch have circulated for months.

Point Beer Goes Nude For The Summer

STEVENS POINT -- It's called Nude Beach. The owner of the brewery says he's hoping to get a reaction from customers, in the form of smiles and curiosity.

"Nude Beach is our 4th seasonal beer and it's the summer season ale, so we thought since the summer is so much fun we thought we would have fun with the beer and we came up with a lot of names and just ended up with Nude Beach," says Joe Martino, the owner of the brewery.

It's a wheat beer with a soft, malty taste. Whether or not it's going to cause some controversy, we will have to wait a bit to find out. Nude Beach won't hit the shelves until May 1st.

Heineken and Krups have designed the "ultimate at home draught beer experience. The Beer Tender functions as a beer tap and chilling system. We have tried it. Its Awesome! Buy 1 For Yourself.

Beer Fans Unveil Urinal Video Game

Two Belgian beer fans have launched a video game named Place to Pee, which allows players to slalom down ski slopes or kill aliens while relieving themselves at urinals.
Werner Dupont, a software developer, and Bart Geraets, an electrical engineer, got the idea while drinking Belgian trappist beers, they told Reuters Television at a local festival yesterday.
"This thing had to be invented by Belgian people and that's what we are," they said.
The Place to Pee' booth is designed for two users at a time and offers two games - blowing up aliens in outer space or skiing down a virtual slope. Gamers hit their target by aiming at sensors positioned on either side of the urinal.
A specially designed paper cone allows women to play too, the inventors say.
Their Place to Pee logo resembles Manneken Pis, the little urinating boy fountain that is among Brussels' top sightseeing attractions.

Stella Artois Becomes a More Expensive Date!

InBev, the brewer of Stella Artois and Beck's beer said Tuesday it was hiking prices to offset soaring costs for raw ingredients such as malt, barley and aluminum.

InBev SA Chief Executive Carlos Brito said the inflationary environment "pressures everybody" in the beer industry.You see the possibilities to pass some of the cost to prices," he told reporters after an annual shareholders' meeting. "If your brands are strong enough, you should take that opportunity."

He said the company had already implemented some price increases but refused to give details on future pricing plans.

An Eyeful A Day Keeps The Doctor Away!

A New survey reveals that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and makes them live longer. Researcher's have discovered that a 10 minute ogle is as healthy as a 30 minutes in the gym. A 5 year study of 200 men found that those who enjoyed a longing look at busty women had lower blood pressure, less heart disease and slower pulse rates.

The study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. The study also concluded that by doing this consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years. The tie in with Beer...... both are good for you.

Beer Has Gone to the Dogs

Hondenbier Kwispelbier, marketed as "a beer for your best friend," is a beer brewed especially for dogs by the Schelde brewery in the Netherlands. Brewed with beef extract and malt, the beer is the brainchild of pet shop owner Gerrie Berendsen, who wanted her Weimaraners to share a beer with her after a day's hunting. The non-alcoholic beer costs four times as much as a regular Dutch lager. "Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.

In the U.S., the non-alcoholic and non-carbonated Happy Tail Ale from Dog Star Brewing (CA) is another beer brewed especially for dogs. This canine quencher also features a beefy flavor (from all-natural beef drippings) and is fortified with glucosamine and vitamin E.

Who’s Drinking Beer?

For at least last 3 yrs, annual surveys by Mediamark Research show about 42% of adults drink beer (at least occasionally). That translates to approx 92.3 mil beer drinkers. Men (55.9%) still far more likely to drink beer than women (29.7%). Southerners (38%) least likely to partake of the brew, compared to all other regions (43.5% to 44.5%). Whites (43%) and Hispanics (44.4%) remain much more likely to consume beer than blacks (32.5%) or Asians (36%).

Less predictable perhaps: likelihood of drinking beer increases directly with household income. Less than 30% of those in poorest households drink beer compared to 51% in wealthiest. Then too, likelihood of drinking beer increases with education. And tho 21-28 yr-olds key mktg target, 25-34 yr-olds more likely to drink beer than 21-24 yr olds (51.2% vs 47.8%), Lots more detail on these overall demographics, plus brand data, in our 2008 Beer Industry Update.
