Where have you been?

Not much happened this week in the area of Beer News. Although, unless you were living under a rock, you should have known that National Beer Day was this past Tuesday. The reasoning was because it was the start to the end of Prohibition. Yes it was a joyful day for all, or at least most.



Also in other news, a Denmark brewery had its employees strike after they took away the ability to drink on the job.  Over 800 employees of Denmark's Carlsberg Brewery went on strike Wednsday after being told that they can only drink "free" beer during lunch, and not while working. The coolers were removed from around the brewery, pushing 250 of the 800 to walk off the job entirely.

OK, Seriously?  I think that Carlsberg needs to do a lot more than just take beer away.  It sounds to me that their employees have a serious drinking issue.  Isn't being drunk on the job a sign of alcoholism?  Maybe they should put their entire staff on Celebrity Rehab 48.....I lost count after season one, that show sucks.  Get back to work people we need you finish making your beer.



And Finally in other news I got a sneak peak at the Three Floyds 2010 Dark Lord  Bottles last night (thanks @WBCTilly).  Check it out!  This years color is going to be GREEN!  YESS!
