Welcome to Manbeers.com. This site is about friends getting together with friends... without the pretext of having to be something you are not. So relax, have a pint, and talk about the passing days, your kids, your dreams, adventures, travels, joys... The only requirement? A good story to share with friends.

BeerFest journals

Following some links that Ludger sent along… we found some great looking online journals that you can view, print, etc.
Nicely done!

End of an era…

Manbeers.com is going offline in a few weeks. No need to keep it taking up space on the server…

The real ManBeers ... the meetings once a month… will keep on rolling along.  That’s the real ManBeers.

This virtual one keeps us away from the physical meetings… so it’s not going to be kept.

Have a pint!

Most expensive beer bottle opener

Here’s something from YouTube…
Using a Helicopter to open a bottle of beer…

A new phone… a lousy site.

Okay… this isn’t about beer… sort of… but I just had to put this somewhere.  Maybe this is a topic of discussion at the next ManBeers on October 9th?
Anyways… there’s yet another phone coming out that is supposed to be a “smart phone” that wants to take on the iPhone.  And this one was designed by B&O.  Sound like a good start.
I guess this “rant” is more about their website than the phone itself… seeing as I couldn’t really see anything there showing me how it works…

In short… this is one of the MOST useless websites I have ever come across. 
You start with a black screen and a super slow red circle appearing.
Try and find out what the heck this phone really looks like.
You can’t.
Try and see what the heck is going on behind the big hand holding the phone in the CONTACT section… you can’t.
Dang but this site sucks.
Ah well.  Time for a beer.

A beer for your “best friend”... uh.. yah.

A small brewery in the Netherlands has launched a new beer designed to bring cool relief to thirsty dogs.
Kwispelbier, marketed as "a beer for your best friend", is made from a special brew of beef extract and malt.
The beverage is a creation of pet shop owner Gerrie Berendsen, who wanted her dogs to share light refreshments with her after a day's hunting.
The beer is non-alcoholic and fit for human consumption, but costs four times as much as a Heineken.
"Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.
Ms Berendsen, who lives in the eastern town of Zelhem, commissioned the small local Schelde brewery to make and bottle the beer.
"Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it," Ms Berendsen told the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, in 2004, someone else had made a beer for dogs as well!
Hmmm… I guess we’ll see the lawsuits fly?
