Beer Beauty- Hop Lip Balm

Hops right under your nose!

I’ve talked before about how beautiful slick lips might turn heads as you walk in a bar but it will also ruin the head of your beer.

Lip products flatten BEER HEADS!

But don't let that stop you from enjoying a little hop right under your nose in this herbal infusion of beauty and beer-

The creators of Atlantic Farms had an excess of hops, so they come up with some delightful new creations to keep you feeling smothered in resin and essential oils all day long!



My friend Mr. Sean Inman over at Beer Search Party recently posted how he prefers the grapefruit flavor because it co-ordinates beautifully with BEER.

"I have seen hops in lip balm as swag from Sierra Nevada at some beer events but this is the first that I have seen Double IPA and grapefruit.  Grapefruit works well with beer so that would be my choice."

With flavors like: Hops Mint, Double IPA, Hops Grapefruit, and Hops Lavender, the steep chop of $6.50 per tube might be worth it.

Grab the sale four pack for only $20!

"If you are sad and like beer, I'm your lady"

What does beer filled glass lady legs

1930’s black and white film

and Canada

Bring to mind?

If you aren’t thinking Guy Maddin films then you likely have some interesting dreamscapes.

 

Fyodor:  Are you an American?

Narcissa: No, I'm not an American. I'm a nymphomaniac.

 

Lady Port-Huntley, the Baroness of Beer, organizes a contest to find the saddest music in the world, while lining her – and her investors – pockets, feeding off the sadness of the Depression area by selling the masses BEER. Musicians from around the world descend on Winnipeg, Canada in this off beat and extremely unique comedy from Director Guy Maddin. The guy who did a lot of other movies you haven’t likely heard of, but works with a lot of actors that you have.

Winners of each musical round slide into in a massive beer pool! Yet to be determined if real steaming suds were used or, more likely, a hot soapy bath.  They battle for a wapping $25,000 grand prize, which would buy a heck of a lot of beer in the Great Depression. You get a great show of music, comedy, loads of one liners and the joy of watching beer be leading actor.

Expand your film viewing, beer loving volume and take a sip at the rim of something extremely rare-

“The Saddest Music in the World”

 

The bit where lady Port-Huntley dances on her beer filled legs gives me little butterflies of jealousy and fear. Delicious!



Kinda makes ya wana cut your legs off and move to Canada.

Not really.

Beer Quote:

 



“Oh a very sorry people yes, did I find here, for they had no music and they had no beer.

And oh every where were they tried to perch, belonged to Castle Sugar Incorporated or the Catholic Church.”

Thirsting For: HomeBrew Tours

If there isn’t one in your city yet- be the first to create it!

http://youtu.be/vXzZQ4zPsXo

Joshua lays the ground-work on a fantastic craft beer movement activity: HomeBrew Tours. Small groups of people orangized for a day of intimate beer sampling with the people who hobby on beer instead of work on it. What a better way to get more people brewing then to show them their neighbors! Keepin up with the Joneses, as they say, might bring people around to making the most of their Sunday afternoons.

I'll make one for Paris/France! Although for the moment I only know one home brewer and myself so the tour will be rather short, throwing in some nano-breweries might be acceptable.

HAPPY SIPPING!

Free Online Beer School- The Art and Science of Making Great Beer

UReddit is Reddit.com’s open online university where people on one side of the planet can teach people on the other side of the planet <or across the street>, things they don’t already know, called MOOCs.

MOOC = Massive Open Online Course

What is Nitch <and you, of course> interested in?

The Art and Science of Making Great Beer

“Are you interested in making your own high quality beer at home? Are you a already an all-grain homebrewer? This course is designed for beginning and advanced homebrewers alike.

I have been homebrewing for years and have a degree in microbiology. I am also a real-life teacher (for now, actually looking to move into the pro-brewing industry).

This class will feature homebrewing demo videos, lectures/presentations about the science of brewing, and interviews and discussion with other brewers (home and pro) about various relevant topics.”

6 Lessons all supplemented with videos, pdfs and discussion boards.

Around 1,300 people signed up for the course which began June 1^st 2012 and looks like it ended around June 25^th 2012 then fizzled away.

Beer pilgrim talked of adding class courses on filtering, fruit additions and kegging, then of “big announcements” which turned out to not announced as there hasn’t been a post since. We assume that the opening of Pilgrim’s tap room (which I was unable to find the name of) has distracted him from the philanthropic teaches of the global mass.

C’est dommage mais c’est la vie.

I’ll run through the course and see if I learn anything or if it is worth while

Beer Shower Project

We've all had those days where the coolness of a beer bottle and the heat of a warm shower combine to create the ultimate in hangover relief or post stress release.

Big Fry Photography has taken it to another level and captured sloppy wet beer lovers in moments of pure soapy bliss in the Beer Shower Project

Great beer choices are a must- Hitachino Nest White Ale. Looks like they feel refreshing to the face as well

Killer work, that not only displays a variety of great beers from around the world but showcases how individuals identify with their beloved brews. This might a snobbish sounding thing but what you drink says a lot about who you are as a person. I refuse to be flirted at by people who are drinking beverages I don't approve of.

I can't wait to see what else BigFry comes up with and would love to get myself a portrait. What beer would I take, is the great question, seeing as how I have a million favorites. I think I'd end up having a Maui Brewing Coconut Porter. It defines me as person, although I'm still confused about rather or not canning beers is better or worse for the environment. The one thing I DO know is that I love that beer and would take a shower with, in it or while intoxicated on it any day with out question. 

What beer would you take for your shower portrait?
