Until 2011, Russia considered anything less than 10% in alcohol as a soft drink. Beer was sold as an unrestricted product, so it was normal to see people casually swigging beer in the streets and in parks as if it was pop.

Beer can actually make your hair softer and shinier! The proteins in the malt and hops are said to help repair damaged hair and improve volume. So, in addition to drinking it, you can condition your hair with beer. Just be sure to rinse well!

Zwiesel, Germany: a beer pipeline was built to transport beer directly from a brewery to nearby bars. Imagine having fresh beer on tap straight from the brewery.

Belgium is renowned for its diverse beer culture, with over 1,600 different varieties. From lambics to Trappist ales, there’s something for every type of beer drinker in this small but mighty beer-loving country.

Several beer spas across Europe offer the chance to soak in a warm tub of beer. It’s said to rejuvenate the skin, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Plus, many of these spas let you drink a beer while you soak in one!

The old word "dragan" meant to carry or pull. Over time, dragan evolved into "drag," "draw," & "draught" (countries like UK, Ireland, & Australia still use this). "Draft" became Americanized version, liquid being pulled or drawn from the barrel to the faucet. Now you know.

The 3-30-300 rule dictates a keg of your average draft beer will degrade at the same rate over three days at 90 degrees Fahrenheit as it would over 30 days at room temperature — roughly 72 degrees Fahrenheit. However, that same keg will last 300 days at 38 degrees Fahrenheit.

The head of a beer has a purpose. The proteins from hops & barley coat the CO2 gas acting as a sort of protective barrier, slowing the release of CO2 & keeping out oxygen. This prevents the beer from going flat too quickly while also reducing the rate of oxidation. Now you know.

Nucleation is deliberate imperfections @ the bottom of a glass to attract & agitate CO2. CO2 bubbles then rise upward in a steady stream, helping head formation & retention. This keeps beer aromas, a refreshingly effervescent mouthfeel & slight bitterness balancing sweet flavors.

Cenosillicaphobia: The fear of an empty beer glass can cause anxiety in those who love a full pint. Luckily, the remedy is simple – make sure to keep the beer flowing & the glasses full. Cheers.
