Believed to be 230-years-old, 30 bottles of champagne were discovered at a depth of 55 metres. Possibly from the house Veuve Clicquot, it’s thought that it was sent by France’s King Louis XVI and bound for the Russian Imperial Court.

I had a bartender who put my beer on his tab when he took too long to bring the beer to me. And his words will forever be etched in my memory, “One should never have to wait for beer.”

If you like your beers cold, you’ve got a want one of these machines developed by Asahi. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what the advertisement is saying but it seems as simple as popping a beer can (preferably an Asahi Super Dry) into a revolving beer chilling machine and out it comes, chilled below zero degrees. It’s not out in the shops yet but I think if you collect seals on Asahi Super Dry cans, you’ll get your own machine! So get drinking, get chilling! Thanks Justin for the lead, can you drink 96 cans and pass one of machines to me for my birthday?

Asia Pacific Breweries is running a draw to giveaway ONE YEAR WORTH OF BEER to 12 winners!

For those of you more inclined to drinking somewhere off-premise like NOT in a restaurant or a pub, try your local supermarket for takeaway beer and spend $12 for a chance to win a year’s worth of APB beverages. I spotted this promo running at my neighbourhood NTUC Finest in Thomson Plaza. Attempts to locate the promo online for more info yielded nada, zip, zilch, zero results. Anyways, it runs from 15 June to 31 July 2010. Pls send us some of your spoils if you do win it. We’d love to feature you in an upcoming post as well, since both of us never had the luck to bask in the glory of such greatness. And give you your 15 column centimetres of online fame.

This has got to be the most-enjoyable, tastiest and easiest way to help animals. Who ever heard of saving wildlife while drinking lager and ale?

But that’s exactly what you can do at Wala Wala Cafe Bar.

You see, Wala Wala Cafe Bar is helping ACRES by donating $1 from every ‘cruelty-free’ beer sold to support our wildlife rescue operations. And they have offered to do so for the next six whole months. What a terrific idea— a perfect combination of good taste and a good cause.

But what’s a cruelty-free beer? It’s any beer that does not use animal products in its manufacturing or filtering process. Yes, there are beers that do, and beers that don’t.

The list of cruelty-free, rather enlightened beers at Wala Wala’s include popular brands like Asahi, Budweiser, Carlsberg, Coopers, Corona, Erdinger, Heineken, Hoegaarden, Little Creatures, Sapporo, Stella Artois and Tiger Beer.

So we’d like to invite you to join us at the promotion drive of this wonderful idea on the 17th of July, Saturday, from 9pm – 11pm at Wala Wala Cafe Bar, 31 Lorong Mambong, Holland Village.

Infographics make gaining essential knowledge much easier http://www.chacha.com/content/infographics/why-do-men-drink-beer

Why Do Men Drink Beer?

Why are men drawn to beer?
Have you ever noticed that when men party beer is the first to get an invitation? Have you ever seen a man with a pink drink with a salty rim and an umbrella and thought that was just unnatural? Throughout history scientists, medical doctors, and world governments have thought about these same things. The only problem is they have been as clueless as the rest why men are attracted to beer. Well, here is some great news! The graphic above finally has answers to the age-old question why men drink beer.

Is there a connection between men’s brains and beer?
The human brain is composed of six main hemispheres. These hemispheres correspond to different interests and behaviors people have. In men’s cases, the large frontal lobe is home to their interest in beer and motivates them to find it. Essentially, it is the ‘I love beer’ lobe.

Does TV make men drink more?
Men are drawn to televisions. As a result of this close relationship between man and machine, men gather 57% of their knowledge from what they see on TV. Well, lo and behold, a staggering 50% of the information which men take in from the television comes from beer ads.

Why do men like beer with meat?
It is not simply that men are thirsty with every steak dinner or barbecue which comes their way. An amazing quality of beer is that it makes meat tastier — 20% more flavorful in fact.

Do drinking games impact men drinking beer?
Men and competition go hand-in-hand. Make beer part of the competition and drinking games become a contributing factor. After all, the man-sport beer pong cannot be played without beer.

Are there health benefits for men drinking beer?
Every man wants to be a macho man, and beer can help him on his way to becoming one. Drinking beer, like spinach to Popeye, can increase men’s muscle mass by a huge 75%.

Can beer help men block out unwanted noise?
With a little creativity and a lot of stretching, beer bottles can be used as ear plugs. Note: especially effective against nagging wives and girlfriends.

Does beer affect the way men see?
Though it is sometimes called being impaired, drinking extra beer endows men with ESP, extra-sensory perception, otherwise known as ‘beer goggles.’ It is known for making women appear hotter than they are.

Is there an economical reason to drink beer?
Compared to mixed drinks and whole meals, beer is an affordable alternative on a tight budget.

Is drinking beer a manly thing to do?
Drinking beer is very manly, considering the alternatives! Men would not even consider ordering ‘Froo froo drinks’ with bright colors and little umbrellas, and all the other girly substitutes for beer. Men love beer because real men drink beer.

One pass to drink them all!

Five is a bitter-sweet number, folks. Beerfest Asia was FIVE days long. And now its been FIVE days since it ended. Its official. We finally admit it. The beer feast is over. The music has stopped. The beer-stained ‘Beer Heals All Wounds’ slogan T-shirt needs to go into the wash. And we are paying the price of having had such a good time.

For the tens of thousands of folks who attended Beerfest Asia 2010 it would have been an awesome event that just ended and its 364 days to the next one. Sadly, this is not the case for everyone. Not the 175proofers, at least. For us, the withdrawal symptoms have just begun. The reality has begun to sink in that its back to real life. And going back to work is a tough cure for this pain. Its been a looonnng FIVE days. Well, to make this better, we’re gonna pen some sweet memories of the best beer feast these guys have been to ever. And this is great training for when the 175proofers head out to Oktoberfest later this year in Munich. Well, the best we can do is to share some of the digitally captured memories with you guys in the hope that it will help ease the pain (ouch!) for us. This will be cathartic, I’m sure. Here goes.

The hallowed tunnel to beer heaven...

Beer hall days... 5 days to be exact

and there were (beer) angels...

and hippies...

... bring out the hula hula - tasty Hawaiiian beers which conjour up the sunny island taste

...delicious Magners pear cider brought in by 6 Drunk Men

and the ocassional yuckky beer - Jaz from Malaysia...

religious beer... Almighty from Grand Ridge

getting some air guitar time with this Stella Artois inflatable beer accompaniment...

'Doc, I have a liver ache...'

Somersby Apple Cider from Carlsberg - a cider the ladies will like too

... bring out the hula hula. Great tasting Hawaiian beers which conjour up the big island magic

Wychcraft. Good looking, good balanced English beer. Hoppy but flavourful. My fave of the nite. Find it at East of Avalon in Singapore.

The smoothest cider you'll be drinking - Green Goblin Oak Aged Cider from the UK. We like. Find this at East of Avalon too.

We feel the desperate urge to rush to East of Avalon for a Goliath. For our bigger-than-man-sized thirst.

In America this would be a sports team, in the UK, more sensibly, its a malty full-bodied dark amber beer. Foutyniner from Ringwood Brewery UK. Avail at EoA. But why isn't it spelt 'fourtyniner'?

Stone Beer - feel that way after a dozen

We know how that must feel if you brew a fine brew like this. A good American craft beer.

Matso's Mango beer - not as girly as it sounds. Refreshing, not overpowering.

Last one for the night and fest. Draft Bitter from Grand Ridge. Good tase and value microbrew from Australia.

If you’ve come this far in the post, I suspect that you like beer as much as us. And you’ll feel our pain when we tell you that we bulk bought a mixed batch of beautiful craft beer from Grand Ridge during the beer auction for a great price but lost it in the back of the cab after we got off. That almost ruined Beerfest Asia 2010 for us. But thanks to this post and the photos we didn’t lose, we were able to relive those FIVE glorious days again and share them with you now. Well done SPHere Events for organising this. My special heartfelt thanks to Mandy and her super trooper team who made everything so enjoyable via their hospitality. Can’t wait 360 days to the next one. Cheers to that!

Someone sent us this post which featured their ranking of the Top 15 Japanese Beer (Girls) based on the 3B’s – Beers, Bikinis and Beaches. We couldn’t agree more. Check it out here.
