Miller Chill is the latest insta-fad that lures non-beer drinkers to buy a so-called beer product. The big three beer brewers in the USA trot out this tired business tactic from time to time to drum up sales. Care for a Zima anyone? This latest flash in the pad is a lime and salt flavored “beer” that hopes to cash in on summer season. Sadly, even the lover of cheap yellow fizzy beer will find Miller Chill unworthy of the term beer.

All About Belgian Beer

Belgium has a long history of brewing beers which dates back to the era when beer was brewed in monasteries.

Belgian beer is accredited with the maximum number of beer varieties in the world, with around 500 standard variants produced on a regular basis. Include one-off productions and the number gets doubled! Imagine choosing from a thousand varieties of beer, right from the lightest pale lager to Flemish red!

Now, the obvious question: Why/How did they start producing that many varieties?

Aside from the fact that one of the most revered car manufacturer which houses the most expensive cars in the world is Bavarian made (BMW, Rolls Royce, MINI, and Volkswagen), Bavaria also takes pride in manufacturing the greatest beer that the world has ever come to know. In the world of beer making, Bavarian beer is considered as the simplest yet the most elite beer there is.

The Bavarian beer Purity Law

There is no beerfest in the world that can match Munich's and Bavaria's Oktoberfest. Every October, nearly two-story feet high barrels full of German beer graced the fields, with thousands of wood tables and long, bench seatings arranged under tall marquees. As though the building-sized barrels cannot make them drunk, Oktoberfest participants have kegs of beers atop their long tables, which are full of traditional German hearty fare such as bratvurst (sausages), cheese noodles and sauerkraut, among many others.

There are movies that I would rather borrow from someone than buy an original DVD copy of. And it includes BeerFest, a Rated R comedy that has forgetable characters, hilarious script without hitting it right, and over exposure of breasts that make you beg for it to stop. Beerfest, although was produced by a small production outfit responsible in creating the successful comedy/horror flick, "Club Dread," falls short from its predecessors. If you want would want to at least not get bored watching it, get yourself drunk before you hit play on the DVD remote control.

Glass Beer Boots

glass beer boot Yes, the fun looking glass beer boot comes from Germany, the land of, if you may call it, beer and honey. It is a favorite drinking mug for Oktoberfest participants because it can hold up to two (2) liters of smooth, tasty and crisp ale or lager and it is a symbol of being a pro beer drinker. Drinking beer from a boot for the first time is not easy as it looks. It takes practice and a lot of beer spills before one can enjoy drinking from it.
