   Beer Information


What does "micro brewed" beer mean?
These are specialty beers with more flavor than the mass-produced type. They are made in very small quantities and only available in the local town where they are brewed. They are all-natural and contain no additives or preservatives.

How should I store the beer?
We recommend refrigerating the beer once you receive it to preserve optimal freshness. If refrigerated, the shelf life is 8 to 12 months. If you do not refrigerate the beer, the shelf life is 4 to 6 months. Always store beer in a cool, dark place away from light.




Serving Microbrewed Beer:
Pour beer into a room temperature glass-Do not drink out of the bottle.  The carbonation of the beer will not be releases properly and you wont get the frothy head to savor and admire. Do not chill the glass.

Red wine should be served at room
temperature 62 Degrees..This is why
we use wine cellars, since an average room in a home is never 62 degrees!
The rule of serving wine at room temperature came about before the modern heating system or air conditioning.  100 years ago, 62 degrees was the average room temperature in a home in the winter, if not a bit cooler.

Old Remedy to Cure those who Drink too much Wine!

In a large pot, put in 3 large live eels.  Cover with enough wine to cover the eels. Leave the pot with the eels until the eels are quite dead.  Now, you can offer your wine loving friend a drink of wine!  He/she will be so disgusted with the taste, they will never want to drink wine again...

This remedy above  is a 200 year old remedy.   I do not know
how safe it would be for the health, and therefore, cannot recommend using this method...Use at your own risk.



For Summer Drinking, try a cold, dry white wine, or a light fruity red wine, which has been chilled.



Never argue with a fool, poeple might not know the difference!
