Drunk On Biology For St. Patrick’s Day
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Louis Pasteur joined The Clancy Brothers? Or if The Chieftains were more nerdy and less talented? Well, wonder no longer!
I wrote this song about the science of beer last year and the folks at The Salt asked me to dust it off in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
In a vaguely Irish style, the song salutes that hero of beer production, the yeast Saccharomyces cervevisiae, and explains the biochemistry of inebriation.
On Sunday morning, you may well be cursing ethanol’s effect on vasopressin and glycogen, but for now, I hope you enjoy this song with a cool pint. Sláinte! -Adam Cole
Science, bitches. Love it.

Clearly the best ad you will see in 2012!
This is the best commercial I’ve seen this year. That’s not hyperbole. There are 15 quotable lines. I think I’m going to sign up.

What the hell have we been doing?
I looked through my phone and notes today to see about posting a back logged rating. Guess what? Not a damn thing.
“Sugar Honey Iced Tea!!”
So then I went online to register for the 2012 National Home Brew Competition. All 10 of the entry sites are maxed out.
“Sugar Honey Iced Tea!!”
Instead I decided to order more brewing supplies and equipment and make a B double E double R U, N. New ratings coming soon as well a Praline Brown Ale and a galena hop Pale Ale.

IPA flavored chapstick?
I need a supply of these. And a chocolate stout would be nice.

Been considering a remodel. Think this’ll do nicely.

Great idea to save and re-use your favorite beer bottles - turning them into candles. Glass cutting is actually a lot easy than you think, and so if you have a beer lover in your life these might make a fun V-day gift.
Fab.com is featuring a set of bottles converted into candles this week, including this set of Stone brewery beers recycled into a functional piece; just refill your favorite bootle with wax after enjoying a tasty beer!
