There was an interesting little item in this month’s issue of Playboy, in the Raw Data section, that mentioned a “study of behaviors that get you served first in a crowded bar.” They found “that people standing square to the bar were served within 35 seconds 95% of the time.” Anyone have a read on how accurate that is, or whether you’ve noticed that it works? They also claimed that “eye contact was essential 86% of the time,” which makes some intuitive sense, at least.
Today’s infographic, The ABCs of Beer, was created by graphic designer Lise Statelman who works for Kloudless in Berkeley, California. She made this poster in 2011, while still a student, “displaying 60 styles of beer organized into 5 categories with their respective color and bitterness ranges, alcohol content, and country of origin.”
I came across this by accident this morning (and I assume 2013’s best haven’t been decided yet). AdWeek writer Tim Nudd chose what he considered to be the 10 Best Commercials Of 2012. Of the ten he picked, two were beer commercials, numbers ten and five. Since I’m still feeling a bit jet-lagged from returning from Belgium last night, enjoy these.
Number 10: Carlton Draught, “Beer Chase” (Agency: Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne, Australia)
Number 5: Old Milwaukee, “Field Cut Off” (Production Company: Gifted Youth)
Today’s infographic is a Venn Diagram showing the basic divisions in beer styles, created by A Drinker’s Guide to Beer. I might have preferred “hybrid styles” to “mixed,” but it’s an interesting way to show that some varieties are neither an ale or a lager, but share elements of both.
