Larry
The Cable Guy
A local
Nebraska microbrewery has launched a beer named
after the most famous one liner uttered by his
alter-ego: Larry the Cable Guy.
Git-R-Done beer was
launched by SchillingBridge Winery &
MicroBrewery, from the small town where
the 44-year-old comic was born and
raised.
Yahoo
news ran the press release announcing the move, and
quoted Mike Schilling, who runs the winery with his
wife, Sharon, who says he is confident Git-R-Done
beer will appeal to Larry's fans.
Pizza and
Beer Together in New Brew
CHICAGO, June 18 (UPI) --
A
Chicago-area man who operates a brewery in his
garage has experienced a breakthrough in "culinary
brewing" -- the creation of pizza beer.
Tom Seefurth said his pizza brew, which one
Aurora, Ill., restaurant now serves as Mamma Mia
Pizza Beer, contains tomatoes, garlic, basil and
oregano, giving it a taste and smell reminiscent of
its solid-food namesake, the Chicago Tribune
reported Monday.
Seefurth said his experiments in "culinary
brewing" also led to the development of salsa beer,
curry beer and even oatmeal raisin cookie beer. He
said his largest obstacle in getting people to drink
his creations is convincing them not to prejudge.
"The pizza beer is not for the Saturday night
bowling alley," Seefurth said. "But it will appeal
to a wide range of people if they keep an open
mind."
Seefurth said he is seeking a deal with a
regional brewery to get the beverage on tap
in local Italian restaurants.
No Joke - Beer Pong isn't just a drinking
game anymore—it's a serious competitive sport
by Kinsee Morlan
Adam Rusch is a tall, gangly, mild-mannered and quick-witted mechanical
engineer. His roommate, Danny Simpson, is an equally sharp, shorter and
stouter med student. Both are recent undergraduates of UC San Diego, and
neither is letting his education go to waste.
Sophomore year, Rusch and Danny dismantled their closet door and used it
as a makeshift beer-pong table. They lined up red plastic party cups—10
in a tight triangle formation on either end—filled each cup a third of
the way with beer and lobbed ping-pong balls in the direction of the
pyramids, achieving victory one cup at a time.
The pair's hobby paid off. Last month, Rusch and Simpson took home the
$500 first prize at the Southern California Beer Pong (SCBP) Tournament,
a competitive 32-team, double-elimination tournament in Los Angeles.
Beer pong's roots twist, turn
and spin like most peoples' heads after too many pints, making it nearly
impossible to get a clear handle on the game's history. A truly
underground cultural phenomenon championed by frat boys with competitive
streaks and a penchant for pounding brewskis, popular lore has beer pong
beginning at New Hampshire's Dartmouth College, where a history
professor there says it was most likely invented when two people playing
ping pong and drinking beer accidentally knocked a ball into a cup.
From its purported East Coast roots, beer-pong lore continues. The
10-cup triangle was instated, and competitors used ping-pong paddles to
knock balls into cups one at a time in teams of two. Frustrated by the
lack of control the paddles provided, someone somewhere decided to toss
the balls by hand instead. Beer-pong purists didn't like the new
technique. They labeled the new strain "Beirut," reportedly because the
lobbed balls resembled dropping bombs. The nickname likely dates the
game back to the 1980s, when U.S. Marines were attacked in Lebanon.
The history and present state
of beer pong is the subject of a soon-to-be released documentary by Film
101 Productions, an L.A. company whose interest in the game was sparked
when it caught wind of the World Series of Beer Pong, a tournament
offering an impressive $10,000 grand prize held in January 2005 in the
outskirts of Las Vegas.
