SABMiller's Chinese brand, Snow, is set to become the world's largest brand as they are estimating selling 10 billion pints this year. Read more about it here. Those 10 billion pints will only cost about $0.29 each, but news out of England says that by the 2012 Summer Olympics a pint will cost you about $13.63. Here are two articles about bacon-infused spirits. The second article has some other stuff as well. Don't hold me responsible for the Bloody Mary that uses a mix and the ribs that use Budweiser. If these recipes sound interesting you should modify them to your tastes. The "Legal Weed" beer guy has won his battle against the haters at the TTB. MillerCoors has donated $100k worth of brewing equipment to the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Maybe the students will teach MillerCoors how to brew good beer. (Thanks to whomever I stole that joke from). Finally, Slow Food Nation conference in San Francisco.
