Three Reasons To Drink Beer From A Glass

August 29, 2013 By Jay Brooks

beer-glass-tulip
Today’s infographic provides “3 Reasons to Drink Beer From A Glass,” and while I could probably come up with a few more, it’s a good solid list, which is why I’m always the asshole wherever I go who insists on a glass, even if everybody else is drinking straight from the bottle or can.

Spanish Beer Infographics

August 28, 2013 By Jay Brooks

spain
Today’s infographic is a series of them done for a Spanish brewery, Cervesa Moritz. Today is also the beginning of La Tomatina, which takes place each year on the last Wednesday of August in Bunol, Spain. La Tomatina is essentially the world’s biggest food fight, so it seemed the perfect day to feature posters from Spain. They were created by Brands & Roses, a Spanish ad agency in 2011. A total of six were apparently done, and there are three shown below. You can see more of the project at Relaja Elcoco.

Cheese Clock Plate And Pairings

August 27, 2013 By Jay Brooks

beer-and-cheese
Today’s infographic is a chart for pairing cheese with beer, and other alcohol, put together by Artisanal Premium Cheese, with four basic kinds of cheese and some general suggestions. Offhand, their suggestions actually aren’t that sound. If there’s anything I’ve learned about pairing cheese and beer, it’s that you can’t really make generalities. They also have a plate and pairings page that attempts to provide more information, but even that seems woefully simplistic. But at least they’re acknowledging that beer and cheese can be paired.

Beers The Ladies Love

August 26, 2013 By Jay Brooks

valentines
Today’s infographic was originally created for Valentine’s Day earlier this year, by Save on Brew. I picked today to feature it because it’s Women’s Equality Day. Entitled Beers The Ladies Love, it gives tips for beers to give to the lady or ladies in your life. I’m not sure about their list of “10 Top Rated Craft Beer,” and especially the three that are imports, but they’re pretty good beers, at least. And there’s not a fruit beer in the bunch. It’s certainly better than many other attempts at this sort of thing I’ve seen.

Body Effects Of Alcohol

August 25, 2013 By Jay Brooks

body
Today’s infographic crudely shows the Body Effects of Alcohol. Having been posting a new infographic every day for nearly a full eight months, I think this is probably the ugliest and least well-designed infographic to date.

Happy Beer Day Iceland

August 22, 2013 By Jay Brooks

iceland
Today’s infographic is entitled Happy Beer Day Iceland and although Beer Day in Iceland is actually March 1, today in 2006, the first microbrewery there opened. Created by Weemss, it’s mostly a history of beer, and (humorously) they misspelled Guinness.

The High Life: A Tower of Beer For Your Retirement

August 21, 2013 By Jay Brooks

statue-of-liberty
Today’s infographic is a funny one, created by Roth IRA to show just how much beer you could sock away if you “save just $1 per day starting at age 25.” I guess my tower would be significantly shorter. Called The Awesome Tower of Beer, which by age 70 would be 5,736 feet tall.
