Dave of Random As Rhyme and Stance Is Everything fame pointed out some commercials from Red Stripe that I had totally forgotten about since they went off air.

Commercial genius I say.

Man these are just great.

Here’s one about beer that made me chuckle:

In other news this poor site is being pretty neglected. With the holidays and vacation and getting engaged and stuff I’ve been pretty busy. I hope to revive a little life in to the site in the new year.

5 Strange Names For Beer

Grant — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:10:34 +0000

I’ve scoured the interwebz (for about an hour) to find some very strangely named brews from around the world!

#5 – Horse Piss beer

Released in April 2005 HPB came out just before the Kentucky Derby that year. It was actually contract-brewed through Viking Brewing Company and donated a portion of the beer sales to charities that protect retired thoroughbred horses.

#4 – Genny Light

While it may not sound all that bad to you or I, “Genny” when translated in to Hungarian actually means “pus” or “filled with pus”. YUCK! Made in Rochester New York the brewery was established in 1878. Genny Light contains only 96 calories per can.

#3 – Griesedieck Brothers beer

This name pretty much speaks for itself. Brewed in St.Louis it’s recently come back after not being on the market for some time. Griesedieck Western Brewery Co. in Belleville, Illinois produces Stag beer and owns the Falstaff Brewing Corporation which makes Falstaff Beer.

#2 – Aass Beer

Made by Norway’s oldest brewery Aass Bayer is a lager. The strangest thing is that the company originally dealt in timber, groceries, baking AND brewing. Talk about a mixed bag! The brewery is still owned by the Aass family which makes me feel bad not only for the beer but all of their children as well! Let’s just hope it doesn’t taste like it’s named!

#1 – Vergina Beer

Vergina makes many types of beer. Their flagship brand is a premium lager but they also have a red, a premium pilsner and a weiss that’s made with a “special top fermenting yeast”! Personally I never really want to hear about Vergina and yeast at the same time but I’d be willing to give this beer just to be able to keep the bottle as a souvenir.
