Drunk Man Cuts Off His Penis in Fight with Girlfriend

In a story you’d almost wish was made up, a drunken Taiwanese man cut off his own penis in a fight with his girlfriend. The 46 year old man got into a brouhaha with his girlfriend, and thought revenge means cutting off his penis AND testicles with a pair of scissors. Pause for sympathy pain. Just wait, it gets better.

He then flushed the severed willy down the toilet. (Yeah, why stop while you’re ahead right??)… Read the rest

Alabama Governor Robert J. Bentley signed the home brewing bill into law, immediately allowing Alabamians to brew their own beer. Mississippi was the 49th state to allow home brewing earlier this year (goes into effect on 7/1/2013). This is great news, and huge win for organizations pushing this legislation in their home states, like  Free the Hops & Raise Your Pints. … Read the rest

Stella Artois Launches New “Cidre”

Stella Artois is launching Stella Artois Cidre into the U.S. market. It’s no secret that the cider market in the states is booming, and that’s why Stella is vying for a piece of the market.

Stella Artois Cidre is designed to be completely different from the sweeter U.S. ciders. Almost an alternative to white wine. This offering is drier, distinct offering. “Cider drinkers are now approaching cider with a sophistication similar to that of wine drinkers,” said Marc Stroobandt, a Belgian master sommelier. “To capture their interest, ciders certainly need to be refreshing and savory, but people also want something a little more complex and distinct, which Stella Artois Cidre offers.”… Read the rest
