BEER, BEER, BEER, BEER...

The first trademark in Britain was the Bass Pale Ale red triangle; first used in 1777.

A brewer is a man who brews beer...a woman brewer is actually a brewster.

Frank Zappa once said:"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."

The first brewery in Manhattan openerd in 1623.

The word 'balderdash' once meant a peculiar combination of drinks,eg:a blend of beer and wine; now it just means trivial nonsense....(is that balderdash or what?)

The Australian food product known as 'Vegemite',(Men At Work:"He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich") is actually yeast extract left over from the process of brewing beer. It was first marketed in 1922.

"Beer & freedom do go together" Ivan Tinkov,Russian brewery owner
