Answers: Roaches Love Beer. You can put a saucer out (if you have roach problem) they will come drink, get drunk and then drown. Ahhh what an existence! craft beers are better than cheap beers. craft beers are not watered down. they are real beers. craft beers are closer in style to traditional old world beers. belgian monks are great brewers. germany has a strict beer purity law. rheinheitsgebot. pure water, pure malt, pure hops. nothing else. has been in strict efftect since the 1500's if i am not mistaken. look it up. Beer is the leading cause of ugly people getting together, in 2nd place is a large salary by the ugly one.

Beer is watered down in the US so that it takes more of it to get drunk, thereby selling more, making more profit for companies and screwing the consumer. So even drinking by yourself you get screwed. That's some good stuff. Egyptians loved it. (some say they discovered it when their stores of barley and yeast mixed, got wet and fermented) The best known and most famous brewing law is the Reinheitsgebot. The "Purity Law" is the oldest food regulation in the world and still exists today unchanged from the original. It was ordered by Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria in the year 1516. It said that beer should only be brewed from barley, hops and water. Thanks to the regulation, Bavarian beers then became leaders among their peers. Thus other lands of Germany also enforced the regulation. Here are 2 facts hardly anyone knows
1) Coopers ale storage live is 2 to 3 years
2) KA or Kick *** a sub label of San Miguel proof is 14% Beer is composed of barley, hops, rice and grain. Kinda makes it a food. I find that interesting. I am not sure what direction you are going with this but you could say that beer is a great alternative to a vegetarian meal. Do I want to sit down and order a meal? Or should I just have a Bud Light and save some time? Its all quite complicating. I am having a vegitarian meal right now, as we speak. Beer is awesome. It is pretty much drinkable bread. - Coors advertises "brewed with Rocky Mountain Water", but Coors Beer east of the Mississippi is shipped from Colorado as a concentrate, and diluted with Virgina water.

- Hops, the flavoring and bittering flower added to beer, is a member of the hemp family, and it's closest relative is cannabis (marijuana)

- Beer is fat and cholesterol free

- Budweiser is best known as an Anheuser Busch product, but they actually "stole" the name. It originated in Europe in the 1200s, and was first formally marketed as a product by a Czech company in the early 1800s, including in the US. AB "adopted" the name, registered it, and has been suing European companies ever since.

- There are 23 basic styles of beer. Each style has on average 4 substyles, accounting for almost 100 uniquely defined styles of beer.
