Vitamin Beer

Lately theres been a few attempts to market vitamin enriched beer. The idea does hold some merit, hangovers are caused in part by dehydration but its also caused by the depletion of vitamins. so by adding vitamins you can not only make the beer healthier but also decrease the effects of hangovers. this Idea isn't new however vitamin goes all the way back to 1933 when Sapporo made a vitamin beer. There is also a Filipino inventor Virgilio "Billy" L. Malang who has made his own version of vitamin enriched beer and is marketing in Asian country's including china , japan, and the Philippines.

Stampede Light from Texas currently available is Texas , Louisiana , and Alabama . They company says "It's like the Gatorade for beer drinkers".They have fortified there light pilsner with
  • Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)

  • Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

  • Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

  • Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)

  • Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)

  • Folate
It will be interesting to see if vitamin beer catches on. If you want to avoid a hangover that badly I'd just pop a handful of Flintstones vitamins and keep on drinking.

The Traveling Stoli Hotel

The real hit here is its Themed party rooms and a bar that only serves , you guessed it stolinachay vodka. The Invite list is very exclusive being mostly celebrities.

It's Time To Get To Know Those Little Green Fairies

If you're ever wanted to feel the way Van Gogh did when he chopped his ear off well now you have the chance... kind of.  Absinthe has finally come back to the states and is being spotted in liquor stores across the country.  Due to a FDA ban on any product that contains wormwood absinthe couldn't be sold in the USA, but distillers have found a way around this. By making the drink without the wormwood it is considered legal. The problem is this, why would one drink something that tastes like rubbing alcohol if you're not going to trip balls?  So absinthe coming back to the US might be a little bit of a let down but we'll keep our fingers crossed. Who knows maybe hallucinogens will be legal again someday.

Sore Loser


Its a well known fact that the good people of Tempe , AZ like to drink. ASUs unofficial motto of "Win or lose ,We still Booze"helpd get it rated as one of the top 10 party schools by Playboy magazine, Tempe is a small city at only 40 squares miles yet it has over 400 liquor licenses that's ruffly 10 liquor licenses per a square mile. So when you deny a man his beer he might become a little irritably. Well this brings us to Kurt Havelock who after being a denied a liquor licence for his bar "Drunkenstein's" threaten to shoot up the Superbowl. In a media manifesto that he sent out to new agency's he says that his original target was the desert ridge shopping center in Scottsdale because it was full of "scum and villainy". Someone must have got him a beer though because on Superbowl Sunday he turned him self in to the police.

Next Time He'll Change The Batteries On His Remote


We’ve all been there before, you get wasted and start making empty threats like jumping off the roof of your three story apartment building or saying that you’ll actually eat a microwave vegetarian dinner.


Well Geoffrey Martin Fryatt of Brisbane Australia took it a little too far. After finding out that his finance broker fraudulently swindled him out of his life savings Fryatt got wasted and threatened his neighbors that he was going to detonate a load of explosives with his remote control. The police were forced to declare a state of emergency where to distraught wine-o lives and arrested him shortly after.


Fryatt took one-year probation from a parliamentary judge and was warned that threats of sudden explosions are never taken lightly. I guess next time the microwave dinner will have to do.

Wine In Paint Can?

And you thought wine a box was classy well check this out. Paradocx Vineyards is selling two of its wines Whitewash Pennsylvania (a non-vintage blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio) and the Barn Red Pennsylvania (a non-vintage Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese blend) in paint cans for $35. They do contain liners like your normal wine in a box. Wine in a paint can does seem pretty out there , but who am I to judge my idea of expesnive wine is the kind that comes in gallon jugs.

Oval Vodka Scientifically Better

Oval a high quality vodka brand from Russia has created a vodka with more than meets the eye. They call it the World's only "Structured" vodka. Ovals unique distilling process takes alcohol distilled from pure wheat and filtered water and then combines though a patented technique that changes the two in to a Tetrahedral shape. One alcohol molecule surrounded by four water molecules.
We haven't gotten our hands on a bottle yet, but Oval claims that this crates a very smooth and gentle tasting vodka , and they also claim that its so free of impurities that it doesn't lead to a hangover.

Its a series of contains with different colors cocktails. So this artist invites you to come and drink his away.

Randy Piper of Goodlettsville , TN has been collection Jack Daniel's for over 6 years and has amassed a collection of over 2,400 bottles worth over $1,000,000(can i get a god damn). He stored his collection in two warehouses and at one of his houses in Lynchburg , TN (home to Jack Daniel's Distillery ). Trouble came after He was accused for illegally selling a bottle worth more than $350. He claims that he was not selling the alcohol but merely the vintage bottles. As of now Randy is charged with four counts of illegal transportation , storage , possession and sale of alcohol. But we here at Brewed can't help but admire this mans passion for good old Jack Daniels. Who knows with the stock market in a quagmire and the dollar in shambles it might be better to invest in alcohol granted as long as you don't drink your retirement funds down the drain.

The BIG Beer Ad!!!

This is old but its still one of my favorite beer advertisements

Cost Co. Brand Beer?

We've seen Cost Co market a number of there own products even including the own vodka (which is distilled in the same plant as grey goose but not the same) , but now it appears that Cost Co is going to be selling there own brand of beer. They recently sumbited this label to the Treasury Department’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The craft beers are brewed by Gordon Biersch Brewing Company out of california. This attempt to compete in the craft beer market is a testiment to the growth that craft beer has seen recently, growing at twice the rate of the major brands. But at least we can count on this beer to be cheap and sold only by the case.

Real BuzzWinkle Gets Drunk In Alaska

He got caught in some christmas lights pehaps getting ready for they party. Because after making his way through the town park he headed down to Bernies. And kept his buzz going by eating some more crap apples and was reported to just gaze off in a drunken stare. Maybe he was just dealing with some female moose problems

If your like me your not really a morning person, i've always thought that the only difference between morning and mourning was you, but thats just me. In the morning no one likes to be hassled so asking someone about why they put whiskey in there coffee in the morning just might just force them them go over the edge and do something bad.

you get this fighting mug at Thabto
not to be confused with the i love whiskey mug

God Bless California


The vending machine has come a long way since the days when the only things could could buy out of them were sodas, candy bars, condoms and cigarettes(all essentials for a great night). So the state that pretty much started the legalized the use of marijuana has introduced and new method of keeping stoners...well...stoned. The marijuana vending machine was designed by twenty nine year-old lawyer Vincent Mehdizaden who owns Health Nutrition Center where the vending machine is located. Mehdizaden designed the machine to make it easier for customers to get what they need and get out without any hassles. Don't think that you're going to be able to stick your arm up inside the machine and score a free nickel bag (you know you robbed the vending machines when you were in high school you thief), the machine is heavily armored and has a few security features in place. It requires users to have an identification card and a biometric finger print scan to fill their prescriptions. The city of Los Angeles has no problem with the machine since it has been legal to have marijuana with a doctors recommendation since 1996, but as far as the federal government is concerned it is illegal to smoke grass in the US period. For the time being getting stoned will be as easy as buying a soda, which would be a good thing to do after you do score your nickel. One can only wonder what's next for the vending machine world, maybe one that dispenses porn (fingers crossed).





Mini Bar Trap

We've all experience an overpriced mini bar in our day. You traveling you go back to your room beat and there this a assortment of goods just calling your name, in your moment of weakness you give in, thinking that you will just buy some water and nuts at a corner store and replace them at a fraction of the cost that the hotel would charge. Well the Wynn hotel casino in las vegas has taken mini bar rip offs to a new level. They now have mini bars equiped with sensors that will charge you for the item for merly taking it out of the tray leaveing no chance of replacing the item. Las Vegas never has a shortage of ways to get you money.

Scotch With Something To Hide?

So Tequila Charlie and I have been on this mission to try as many different kinds of Scotch that we possibly could and Bruichladdich was the second one that we bought.  The 10 year single malt goes for about sixty five bucks and has a smooth flavor with a peppery after taste. The cool thing about the distillery though isn't that they make some awesome scotch, but that the distilling equipment could also be used to make chemical weapons! Fun stuff right?  So the CIA has made the distiller put up web cams that broadcast twenty four hours a day just to make sure no shenanigans are taking place. All and all its a great scotch but if you're not a fan of whiskeys in general I wouldn't recommend it.

Got A Few Minutes to Kill? Why Not Kill Yourself.


So the fine people at Adult Swim are hosting this game and god bless them for doing it.  The point of Five Minutes to Kill Yourself is to take yourself out before the next staff meeting starts.  With endless tools at your disposal taking a stapler to the face, setting yourself on fire with a blow torch or putting the trophy from the company picnic into the microwave are effective ways ending it all.  Look around though and talk to some of your co-workers, they might just be friendly enough to give you a swift kick in the nuts and help you on your way. Don't forget though you only have five minutes to "do it" so move quickly and have no mercy, remember its you you're trying to kill.


The only ring I'd ever wear



Rings are usually used a functionless fashion accessories or signs of false commitment .This ring however represents the greatest commitment of all. The commentimet of drinking. Sure this ring may be made out of antique brass and be classically inscribed but whats most important here is that it is also a bottle opener finally combing fashion and function. but for $135 i'll just keep opening beer with my eye sockets

A Lobotomy You Might Actually Be Willing to Have


About a month ago the Indian Wells Brewing Co. came out with this fun intoxicant.  A german double bock with a 10.8% alcohol by volume this puppy is sure to put you on your ass.  The only problem is finding it. The company first started distributing in California last month and within days stores had sold out.  As far as I know stores in Arizona and Colorado are trying to get it but its going to take a while for the brewery to meet the demand.  Keep an eye out for Lobotomy Bock and buy as much as you can because who knows the next time we're going to see it again.
