It seems they don't know that much about beer...
hangover???
better drink decent beer!
And NEVER give someone Heineken nor Stella Artois as suggested in that article. Here they would see it as an insult... maybe you get away with Stella Artois as a student in Leuven... but afterwards you better search for a monk and try their trappist.

Vince, you know Quadruppel? My oldest daughter even uses it to make a tastfull stew with (roe-)deer venisson. A kind of goulash but without the tomatoes and paprikas. It even works fine with a cheaper dark beer and it's very easy to make. It takes little effords, only long cooking time.
Maybe I'll put this recipe here one day when Suz finally succeeds in harvesting a deer. I fear she has already problems in remembering how deer looks like....
and now I'll join Vince alltough he's already occupying 2 bunkers...

In honour of this joyous occasion, which fittingly falls a day after Dry July ends, here are 10 awesome facts about beer.
The oldest beer ad was found on a clay tablet, dated 4000BC
It was adorned with an ample-bosomed woman holding two golden goblets and inscribed with the caption, “Drink Elba Beer — the beer with the heart of a lion!”
Never clink glasses when drinking in Hungary.
Instead make eye contact, raise your glass up to eye level and say ‘Egeszsegere!’ $Hungarian for ‘Cheers!’$
Cenosillicaphobia is the fear of an empty beer glass
The first recorded drink driving incident was in 2000BC
in ancient Egypt, an inebriated charioteer was apprehended after running down a vestal virgin of the goddess Hathor. The culprit was crucified on the door of the tavern that sold him the beer and his corpse allowed to hang there until scavengers reduced it to bones.
Beer and marijuana are cousins.
The hops used in beer are in the same family of flowering plants as cannabis.
Zythology is the study of beer and beer-making, including the role particular ingredients play in the brewing process.
When drinking beer in Spain, non-verbal rituals must be respected.
One example is rubbing the bottom of your glass in a circular motion on the bar or table and banging it down. This takes place between saying ‘Salud’, ‘Cheers’ in Spanish and having your first sip.
Egyptian pyramid workers were paid with beer. They received 4L a day as payment.
In the middle ages, beer was consumer more than water, as the alcohol made it safer.
At any given time, 0.7 per cent of the world is drunk. So that means 50 million people are drunk right now.
The strongest beer in the world has a 67.5 per cent alcohol content.

Since it was international beer day, I had tried an import: Samuel Adams. IMHO better than Sierra Nevada. Best American beer I've tried.
(if anyone outside Australia wants to try a good Aussie beer, try Coopers, forget Fosters)
