Where to find PBR’s 99 can case of beer

99pabst_where_to_find

This holiday season you can adorn your home with 99 bottles, er… cans, of beer on your wall. Yes, Pabst Blue Ribbon released a monstrous 99 can pack of PBR beer. As you would expect, the pack contains 99 cans of beer and is aptly named the 99 Pabst. The case looks to be about six-or seven-feet long, and it appears you might need a friend to help carry it. Each case contains three types of PBR: Original, Easy (with is a light lager), and Extra (with contains more ABV than the original). The pack was first released in 2017 and sold for $59.99, but was sadly only available in Quebec, Canada. Some recent reports are saying that it now costs about $175… which despite being a huge jump, still wouldn’t be a terrible price for almost 100 beers. But let’s hope the $59.99 is the real going rate this time around, too.…

Asheville, North Carolina is best U.S. city for beer lovers, report shows

Asheville, North Carolina is best U.S. city for beer lovers, report shows

To say that craft beer is popular in America is a serious understatement. Once dominated by big time cities like San Diego, Austin, and Denver, now even tiny American towns can now point tourists and passerby to their local town brewery. Yes, Americans love beer. But what city can claim to be craft beer’s biggest fans? If you consider yourself a craft beer lover, perhaps you should pack your bags and head for Asheville, North Carolina. A recent data report compiled by ApartmentGuide.com shows that the outdoorsy southern city has the most breweries per capita of anywhere in the country. In fact, Asheville has nearly 30 breweries just within city limits (that’s 28 breweries for every 100,000 people), including nationally recognized names like Sierra Nevada and New Belgium. Other outposts include Highland Brewing Company (Asheville’s oldest brewery, 1994), Green Man Brewery, French Broad River Brwery, Catawba Brewing Company, and Eurisko…

This is why vodka doesn’t freeze

This is why vodka doesn't freeze

Vodka drinkers often like to keep their favorite alcohol chilled in the freezer. It gets nice and frosty, yet it never freezes solid. So what gives? Will vodka ever freeze? The short answer: Yes it freezes, but it’s not something you have to worry about in your home freezer. It all has to do with the scientific phenomenon known as the freezing point, or the temperature at which a substance freezes. This temperature varies depending on the make up of the substance. A bottle of vodka is made up of primarily water and grain alcohol, or ethanol. Water freezes at  32ºF or 0ºC, but pure ethanol has a freezing point much lower, –173ºF or -114ºC. Because vodka is a blend of these two substances, each which comes with its own freezing point, vodka doesn’t freeze at the same temperature as either water or ethanol, but rather somewhere in the middle.…

7 Foods astronauts aren’t allowed to eat in space

7 Foods astronauts aren't allowed to eat in space

Astronauts have to eat while they’re in space, but that doesn’t mean they always enjoy the rules required for consumption in zero G. A healthy and balanced diet is a necessity for astronauts staying for long periods at the International Space Station, but unfortunately, many of their favorite foods might not be allowed to make the journey with them. According to NASA, anything that requires refrigeration won’t make it onto any mission. But what else gets left back on Earth? Here are 7 foods that astronauts aren’t allowed to have: 1. Bread Even when you’re on your best behavior, biting into that sandwich is still going to create some crumbs. Breads, crackers, and cookies don’t do well in space because all of those loose crumbs can float around and get stuck in sensitive equipment. In astronauts want bread when after they launch out of orbit, they’re limited to tortillas. Although, the…

America’s favorite beer is an import, research shows

America's favorite beer is an import, research shows

Determining America’s favorite beer is quite an undertaking. With more than 7,300 microbreweries, brewpubs, and regional craft breweries turning out everything from Natural Light to Pickleball IPA, there are no shortage of options for Americans looking for cold one. Yet despite the bevy of domestic choices, as it turns out, America’s favorite beer is actually an import. Yes, Dutch beer Heineken is the beer of choice in America. To determine the title-holder, YouGov, an online market research company, looked at popularity scores and quality scores gathered from more than 8,000 respondents. Heineken (47%)  took the title of top brew, narrowly edging out Guinness (47%). Don’t agree? You’re not alone. The results were far from a national consensus, because to be “America’s favorite” the study required high scores in both recognition and quality. (The best beer in the country can’t be the favorite if only a handful of people have ever heard of…

Beer and wine result in same hangover intensity, study shows

Beer and wine result in same hangover intensity, study shows

If you think you can outsmart alcohol, think again. While some people swear “beer before wine and you’ll feel fine,” a new study shows that you’re going to wake up not feeling so great no matter what tricks you try. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, tested various theories about drinking beer and wine. Does wine give worse hangovers or does beer? And does the order in which you drink them matter? For the study, researchers from Witten/Herdecke University in Germany and the University of Cambridge tested 90 students, ages 19 to 40 by splitting them in to three groups. The BBC reports that one group drank 2.5 pints of beer followed by four glasses of white wine. The second group drank four glasses of white wine followed by 2.5 pints of beer. The third group, the control group, was given only given beer or wine enough…
