"25 Interesting Beer Facts"

Number 11 does seem like it could possibly be right:
"Nowadays, there are about 400 types of beer in the world. Belgium is the country that has the most individual beer brands."

According to this outdated page, it's the US by far (and I think that makes sense considering we have been adding breweries by the day): http://bovbeers.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/number-of-breweries-worldwide/

Then again, I don't know what "individual beer brands" means

 

Those facts were mostly useless, interesting though.

 

#17:
Beer commercials in the US aren't really allowed to show people actually drinking the beer. It's a US law that people cannot actually be shown consuming an alcoholic beverage on television.

Now that I think about it I guess I never have actually seen anyone consume a beer on a TV commercial. I also enjoy the picture on #5.

 

#4 is wrong.
It is formed by a complex carbon-dioxide reaction and can say a lot about the quality of the beer.

 

2.Beer strengthens bones. It is rich in silicon that increases calcium deposits and minerals for bone tissue.
I must be darn close to the skeletal composition of wolverine by now.

 

The Egyptians were given beer everyday. However, the beer was so light people didn't get wasted off it as portrayed by the fact.

The fact is correct but misleading.

 

So they weren't drinking Ramses Pharoanic Stout?

 

I would hope so, you do live in Missouri ; )

 

24. Steven Petrosino of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania downed 1 liter of beer or 33 ounces in a chilly 1.3 seconds in 1977 which made him a World Beer Chugging Champion according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

There needs to be a "where are they now" on Steven Petrosino.

 

LOL body armor helps too

 

By the way, I was not trying to offend, I was talking about your crazy awesome beer laws... Maybe a little too liberal for my taste but still pretty cool

 

lol. its pretty liberal here on the beer laws, im on the kc side but that st louie side has gone kind of crazy lately

 

I know crazy! Nothing like a stout in the hot Egyptian sun while slaving away building the pyramids. It would be nice to have a cool buzz though.

 

I've been wondering if this is true ever since that Heineken Light commercial with Dougie Howser came out recently. Just not enough to go through the FCC regulations to find out.

 

Did anybody else inmediately look up Vielle Bon Secours for a rating?

 

Better yet, a frosty Double Mesapotamian Pale Ale to chill out with while the rain of frogs is happening or even a Chaldean Quad.

 

We hear much about the Egyptians and Phoenicians "inventing" beer, but I'm making a wild guess that what they drank wouldn't much resemble what we think of as beer, other than it was alcoholic and fizzy.
