What Iceland and Vagabonds know about CHILLING beer

'Beer being cooled by evaporation', photo : @VagabondJourney

There's toilet paper on my beer, and that's a good thing.

Because you know you like drinking in the park ; ) , and because you 'forgot' your cooler at your friend's BBQ last weekend; you probably are in need of a low tech way to cool your beer while hanging out in the park, camping, "in a middle of a field", wherever you are. Well, Wade Shepard, of vagabondjourney.com, has found a very simple way of cooling your beers. 

"We were camping, without refrigeration, and I was drinking a cool beer in the middle of a field in Iceland ... 

Just wrap up the bottles in a blanket of wet toilet paper (or another material that retains water but also allows for it to dry) and wait for the water to evaporate a little. The drier the paper gets (the more the water evaporates) the cooler your beer should get."

Now, if it works with wet toilet paper, will it work with a wet Drink Toque perhaps??? I am willing to find out. Off to experiment, more on this later. 

Cheers,

Investing in Beer : drink beer, make money

... Well, now you can, for £95/share! (that's like $140 CDN or US)

Equity for Punks II 

BrewDog Brewery(Scotland) is selling a second round of shares, Equity for Punks II, to fund a purchase of land, and buildout of a state of the art, eco-friendly brewery. Do you need a stock account or something to be able to invest? Nope. Can you resell your shares at a later date? Yes. Are there other benefits to having these shares? You bet. Honestly, it is pretty cool: beers, bar deals, dividends, talk about beer, and maybe have some more beers. Check it out here, and if you like it, you can buy a share or two.

And, when drinking their beer, and increasing the value of your share(s), you can put a Drink Toque on it  : )

Like to run, and drink beer?

Have running shoes, will drink beer


Like to run, and drink beer? Me too. And, this guy is definitely taking this issue seriously ...

"Just days before turning 29, Tim Cigelske decided he wanted to do something special for his 30th year on the planet ... and the answer came quickly: run a mile and drink a beer every day. The challenge made perfect sense for Cigelske. In his spare time, he writes Draftmag.com’s Beer Runner blog, which chronicles the intersection of lacing up the Nikes and leaning back with a brew.


More than 260 days later, he’s still going ... he might never stop ...

If I’m not in the best shape of my life, I’m definitely close. I’ve never felt better. I’ve built my way up to running about 50 miles a week with no problem ... At the same time, I’m averaging about one beer for every three miles I run. If nothing else, running allows me to enjoy the beer I love guilt-free. That was the point all along." (wired.com)

I think we can all agree, this is a fun and delicious way to get in shape ...
