For some reason I’ve had beer on my mind a lot lately? Might be because of the lovely intestinal bug I’m just getting over?<\/p>\n
So I’ve been compiling beer stories, beer factoids, and even beer related music.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin with some beer history courtesy of The Beer Institute.<\/a><\/p>\n Its origins are lost somewhere in the stone age, long before history was recorded. Anthropologists can only guess how it happened, and their guesswork goes something like this: once, in the camp of some nomadic hunter-gatherers, there was a supply of wild grain, painstakingly collected for food. Somehow, possibly in a sudden rainstorm, a pool of warm water formed where the grain was stored. In a short time the grain fermented, turning the water into a thick dark liquid. Some adventurous soul among these primitive people sampled the liquid, and found that it tasted good.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n More recently there’s the story of the Iowa man who completed a 46 day Beer Lenten Beer fast.<\/a> This feat generated an article in Slate asking how long such a diet could last<\/a>? This rather profound question has crossed my mind before.<\/p>\n While doing my research I also found some interesting uses for beer<\/a>. I’m sure you might have others?<\/p>\n Then there’s the musical aspect. There are several choices, but I’ll go with this one.<\/p>\n The Lego Beer Song<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
