Today’s infographic explores The Effect Our Significant Other Has On Our Drinking Habits. Since today is my 17th wedding anniversary — which is furniture or a watch, how romantic — so I’m posting For Better Or Worse, which shows how your marital status, by gender, affects your drinking patterns. Almost humorously, the infographic was created by Total Divorce.

The CNBC show Closing Bell had Brewers Association Craft Beer Program Director Julia Herz on the program earlier today. Despite the host showing some ignorance of beer and asking a few hostile questions, Julia held her own and did beer proud.

Today’s infographic is part three of three, created by Floating Sheep in 2010, using data collected in 2008. It’s from a post entitled the Beer Belly of America. The third map shows a more normalized version of yesterday’s map, showing the “relative mentions of bars in the Google Maps directory,” which was accomplished using the average number of bar mentions.
Today’s infographic is part two of three, created by Floating Sheep in 2010, using data collected in 2008. It’s from a post entitled the Beer Belly of America. The second map shows the “absolute mentions of bars in Google Maps directory.” Essentially it shows the location of every bar in America, and where the concentration of them is throughout the country.
Today’s infographic is part one of three, created by Floating Sheep in 2010, using data collected in 2008. It’s from a post entitled the Beer Belly of America. The first map shows geographic references to bars vs. grocery stores, and where (in red) the bars are mentioned more frequently (and then they compared census data, which corroborated their findings).

My brother-in-law sent me this video this morning. There are a million ways to open a beer bottle, and this video includes a lot of different ones, including a few that seem pretty impractical (rendering the beer undrinkable) and some that look downright dangerous, but then there also some clever and funny ones, too. Enjoy.
Today’s infographic was sent to me last night by my good friend Maureen Ogle, author of Ambitious Brew, and the soon-to-be-published In Meat We Trust. She knows of my love of language and especially beer words. I have my own growing collection of the word Beer in Other Languages, but Feòrag NicBhrìde of Scotland created the Essential Map of Europe and Environs, which is essentially a map showing the various ways in which Europeans refer to beer, helpfully divided by language types or origins.
Today’s infographic is a Hop Flavour Spectrum, created by an Australian company HPA. They describe their Hop Flavour Spectrum as follows:
The Hop Flavour Spectrum has been created through years of research, experimentation and conversations with brewers, and by tasting a few beers along the way. It’s what we believe, and we want to build the spectrum with what you think too. Our hop varieties are divided into four flavour profiles: fruit, floral, spice and resin. This allows brewers to compare varieties and get an understanding of how each hop may impact the flavour of beer.
Then they took that scheme and placed the hops that their company carries on the spectrum, depending on each hops’ characteristics. Beverage World, in describing it, “The Hop Flavour Spectrum goes beyond the limitations of chemical analysis to provide an effective tool for comparing varieties and understanding how each hop may impact the flavor of beer.” You can click on each variety listed to see additinoal information about it. It would be cool to see even more varieties added to the spectrum.
