Today’s infographic is an interesting one. It’s a chart of beer styles created by Brian Roth, marketing director for Leon Farmer & Company, a beer distributor in Georgia.
From the Leon Farmer website, you can download a ginormous version of the chart.
Wednesday’s ad is another one for Biere Paillette, from Brasserie Paillette in Le Havre, Seine-Maritime, France. This one shows a woman with a beer in her hand, sitting on a wooden cask and floating high above an ocean sunrise (or is that sun setting?), with a large ocean liner coming toward us full steam ahead. What does all this imagery mean? I haven’t a clue. Does anyone?
Here’s an interesting article, a lengthy, in-depth piece by Kihm Winship entitled Malt Liquor: A History. This is not the first time he’s written about malt liquor. In 2005, he did an article for All About Beer magazine with similar themes, entitled A Story without Heroes: The Cautionary Tale of Malt Liquor. They’re both worth a read, though you may need a drink afterwards, so keep 40 ounces of something handy.
Today’s infographic concerns Global Beer Consumption Statistics. The chart was created by 1001 Beer Steins.

Tuesday’s ad is for Paillette Speciale Pils, from Brasserie Paillette in Le Havre, Seine-Maritime, France. The ad was created by Herve Morvan, who’s oftern referred to as The Genius of French Poster Art.

Monday’s ad is for Bieres de Longwy, a French beer, I believe. That’s a guess, but Longwy is in northeastern France. Why doesn’t every pint of beer have such a lovely woman swimming in it?
Today’s infographic was created by Gene Ullery-Smith for the Michigan men’s magazine NM3. You can also buy a copy of it on Cafe Press.

If you’ve ever been to the loft that overlooks the Lagunitas Brewery, you’ve probably seen this orange couch. I’ve sat in it on numerous occasions. As I remember it, it’s a pretty comfy sofa, and you sink right into it.
But I guess I’ll have to travel to Chicago if I want to sit on it again. Check out its journey in this humorous video from Lagunitas.
This is an interesting piece of breweriana I stumbled upon. It’s from around 1900 and apparently is “an instruction manual how to efficiently drink Pilsner Urquell.” Although Google Translates it as “A glass of Pilsner Urquell in one fell swoop,” so I’m not entirely certain. It looks like a postcard to me.
