Jim Koch: America Is Envy Of World Brewers

Boston Beer founder Jim Koch “CBS   America is the envy of world brewers.” We tend to agree with him. You see a lot of his passion for a drink that has been around for 12,000 years. “It’s been with us for 12,000 years. It’s been part of our civilization since people settled down into villages. And for many years in the U.S., it’s become this kind of mass-marketed, mass-produced product, and it lost the dignity and nobility and respect that beer deserves, and I’m trying to bring back flavorful beer that will earn that respect.”

28 years later, Koch produces 2 Million barrels a year.

Side Note: Smuckers Launches Maple Bacon Syrup

There is enough maple/bacon, even maple bacon flavors surfacing in beer these days to warrant some Smuckers love. The company just launched a Maple Bacon Syrup.

Bring fresh excitement to the day with the NEW Smuckers® Maple Bacon flavored syrup, a unique combination of two popular breakfast flavors. When you include Smucker’s in your menu, you are serving a brand with 100 years of family-made goodness and a brand people prefer in their homes. Smucker’s rounds off its complete line of sweet condiments with breakfast syrups, honey, and peanut butter. Smucker’s 1.4 oz. Maple Bacon Syrup is packaged in a round plastic portion control cup for easy pouring convenience. With a name like Smucker’s, it has to be goodâ„¢.

I bet it pairs well with Rogue Voodoo Maple Bacon Donut. Right?

Bear and Underage Cubs Drink 100+ Beers

I hope were weren’t delusional enough to think that humans were the only ones that loved beer. Bears in Norway break into a cabin drink beer and eat.

I think I know how this went down. Bears (and her underage cubs. Shame, shame) get hungry, break in. They find the beer, get hammered. Get hungry. Eat marshmallows, chocolate, and honey. Crap on the floor, and leave.

The owner was well stocked in preparation for hunting season. Just how much beer would it take to a full size bear drunk?? [SkyNews]
