Thursday Is International Stout Day

Monday, October 31st, 2011

International Stout DaySure, today is Halloween and we’re all for celebrating that but this particular blog post is to educate you, inform you, and encourage the celebration of the first International Stout Day which is set to take place this Thursday, November 3rd.

Bars and breweries in Philadelphia, San Diego, Portland, Denver and L.A. are ready… are you?

There’s a website with a countdown, a list of supporters and more information. There’s even an About Stout section to give you a little history on the style.

You can find a stout day event near you and if you’re a bar, you can post an event if you have one planned.

The movement and official proclamation was announced by Erin Peters, the popular beer blogger also known as The Beer Goddess.

Mark your calendars, check out some events and join us in raising a pint of dark, delicious stout this Thursday.

PS: If you’re into the hop juice, August 4th is International IPA Day. We missed the boat on properly prepping for it this year but it’s not too early to start planning for next year. Cheers!

Beeri Uses Siri to Pour a Beer

With the release of the Apple iPhone 4S came Siri, an innovational voice-controlled technology that will change the way we use our smartphones as we know it. Case in point, one gentleman figured out a way to get Siri to pour him a beer!

St. Louis Cardinals Beer Vendors Hit the Road for the World Series

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

The beer vendors at Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals, don’t just work baseball. They love the game. Not content with watching their beloved team play World Series away games on TV, four of the Cardinals’ own beer vendors are headed to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington to cheer on their team and make some cash.

Unbeknownst to Rangers fans, the St. Louis beer vendors (Tony Rowland, David Agnew, Carlos Wells and Darrell Dixon) were assigned to serve cold, frosty brews to fans in Section 9, right behind 3rd base. I wonder, had the Rangers fans seated there known, if they would’ve looked to buy their beer from local vendors.

Either way, the four vendors sold their wares and made more than enough money to cover their entire trip, all while being able to see their Cardinals live and in person.

Now that’s intelligent dedication.

Bar Foot Rails Under Our Desks – The Ultimate Quality Control

Friday, October 21st, 2011

We sell a lot of products but we go to great lengths to make sure they all meet our standards and they’re things that we’d use ourselves.

Shane in our Customer Care Department is especially committed. He’s even crafted bar foot rails to use under his desk as he works.

Bar Foot Rails Under Your Desk

If you ever need to call about an order and end up talking to him, feel free to ask him how comfortable he is.

You too can have an under-the-desk rail, just grab a 2-foot piece of tubing in the finish or material of your choice and add two of the brackets you like best.

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale Float Recipe Courtesy of Rachael Ray

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

I love Rachael Ray. Considering I am a chick and a pretty great cook, I won’t apologize for my feelings – or the fact that I came across this delightful recipe on her magazine’s website.

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale Float

½ c heavy cream
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pint vanilla ice cream
2 12-ounce bottles Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
4 gingersnaps, crumbled

Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream, sugar and cinnamon until blended. Scoop the ice cream into four highball glasses and add half a bottle of beer to each glass. Top with the whipped cream and gingersnaps.

You’re welcome.
