Divine Reserve No. 9 Already in the Works

Ronnie Crocker over at the Houston Chronicle has the scoop: Saint Arnold is already working on Divine Reserve No. 9, an Imperial Stout Pumpkin Ale scheduled for November or December release. That sounds crazy.

Another of my favorite beer drinking songs

No.3 in a series (previous entries here and here). I have a vague memory of hearing this song as a kid. Always thought it was great, even if I didn't know who Bob Wills was back then.

"In the Can" Bud Light Lime Ad

I just gained new respect for Bud Light.

In case you hadn't heard …

… Saint Arnold Divine Reserve No. 8 is now on the shelves. But if you take the time to watch this video, it might not be. Quit yer twittering and get to the beer store — it's going fast!



Thanks to Shirl for the vid link.

100K!

I should have my 100,000th visitor sometime tomorrow or the next day. Three years ago, I never would have imagined my hits would get this high! I remember when I averaged 25 or so a day.

Hey, there's a good drinking game – every time somebody visits my blog … erm, maybe not.

UPDATE: Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations to my 100,000th visitor! According to Sitemeter, it was someone from Hamburg, New York, who dropped by at 7:32pm on Sept. 10. Not surprisingly, he/she was looking for the creepy picture of the pregnant chick drinking a beer that gave me my first big ginormous boost in hits back in 2007.

Oh, and while I searching for those links, I came across this, which now strikes me as absurdly funny. So it took me more than a year to get to 10K, but less than two to get the next 90,000.

New Beer Fridge

Unfortunately not as voluminous as the old one, but presumably more energy efficient and not located in my roasting hot garage. I'll turn the old one in to the city of Austin for $50 (and hopefully have lower electric bills in the future – wish I'd done this back at the beginning of the hottest summer in Austin history instead of the end).

Biking Under the Influence

A judge in Amsterdam says the Beer Bike can ride on.
