It’s True - Guinness Is Good For You!

Friday, September 14th, 2007

The original campaign stemmed from market research - when people told the company that they felt good after their pint, the slogan was born.

August is a sad month for me. Today I received another case of beer from the Beer of the Month Club, which unfortunately is the last delivery of microbrewed beers in a series of 12 which my wife bought for me as a 40th birthday gift last August.

Samichlaus: probably the strongest beer in the world

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

“The World’s Most Extraordinary Beverage” is the boast on the label. I’d have to agree with the boast. A friend and fellow beer lover first alerted me to Samichlaus Bier in December 2006. Not only is it an extraordinary beer, it’s an extremely rare beer.
Brewed only once a year on December 6th, Samichlaus is […]

Friday, November 17th, 2006

Stumbled across this Guinness Dart Board on AdverBox earlier today. Can’t seem to find any more information about it, but just think it’s a cool idea for an advertisement.
