Hopstick Lip Balm

I've seen lip balm manufactured with beer, but no with hop oil extract. Definitely one for the hopheads. I'd be keen to try it, but I'm not really a lip balm person.

Who says Beer Judging is easy ?

A sample piccy from Jay Brooks blog on beer. These are all Barley Wines (extremely flavourable and typically alcoholic beers). Wouldn't want to judge them, but sure as hell would want to taste them.

If only ....

What an awesome party this is going to be. If only I was in San Fran this weekend. Even more than just the beer, Emergency BBQ are doing the food. All their food is cooked with beer.

Cattle fed on 40 pints a day

I've always like the idea of having my own brewery, as well as a small farm to compliment it and to have somewhere for some of the by products of the brewing process (spend grain etc), but I guess if there was ever a bad batch of beer that needed to be dumped, feeding it to the cows would be a great idea too :P
