It's Beer O'Clock Somewhere

It's been a long week so let's kick back with a beer-themed Friday night dinner. All you beer-lovers will enjoy this Friday's suggestion!

For dinner: Cheesy Potato & Beer Soup with Beer Bread

To drink: Beer, obviously! We like Amstel Light, but swill whatever brand you prefer!





Fun facts about BEER:

• Beer is the second most popular beverage in the world, coming in behind tea.


• To get rid of the foam at the top of beer (the head), stick your fingers in it. (This is also true for champagne!)


• The oldest known written recipe is for beer.


• Tossing salted peanuts in a glass of beer makes the peanuts dance. New party trick for the weekend!


• Many actors started out as bartenders: Sandra Bullock, Bruce Willis, Tom Arnold, Chevy Chase, Kris Kristofferson and Bill Cosby are a few of these. Imagine them serving your beer!


• American beer is made mostly by rice, unlike the beers of other countries. This was invented to give American beer a lighter taste and tap into the market of women buyers.


• If you collect beer bottles you are a labeorphilist. Good word to add to the vocabulary!


• To keep your beer glass or mug from sticking to your bar napkin, sprinkle a little salt on the napkin before you set your glass down.

Enjoy Beer Night!!
