A Wisconsin Festival Claims A Record Bratwurst Because Of Course
The Midwesternest piece of Memorial Day Weekend news has broken, and it is that the self-proclaimed World's Largest Brat Fest has achieved its destiny by grilling and bunning perhaps the world's largest brat....

This Sure Looks Like Jay Cutler Drinking A Beer While Feeding His Baby [UPDATE]
This picture is making the rounds on Twitter and various other websites, and the dude doing double bottle work looks a hell of a lot like Jay Cutler. Those middle-American features could belong to anyone, but everything we know about Cutler leads us to believe that this is absolutely something he wo...
Yankee Stadium Has Renamed Its Craft Beer Stand That Doesn't Have Any Craft Beer
We groused, circa opening day, about the Yankees' "Craft Beer Destination" that has no craft beers—everything there is MillerCoors—and only two actual beers. Guess what? Deadspin gets results....
Mariners Fan Catches Foul Ball In Beer, Chugs Beer
Not a ton of excitement in last night's loss to the Astros. Right now on the team site, the highlights are "Kelly Shoppach's first home run as a Mariner," "Bobby LaFromboise strikes out two in his major league debut," and "Michael Saunders crashes into the outfield wall." Saunders will go on the DL ...
Everything Sold At The Yankees' New "Craft Beer" Stand Is Owned By MillerCoors, And Half Of Them Aren't Actually Beers
I do not say this lightly: beer snobs might be the worst people in the world. But not even they deserve to be locked in Yankee Stadium for four hours, with the only unconventional option being this dinky and confused beer stand with four drinks on tap, all behemoth-brewed by the MillerCoors conglome...
In Australia, It's Cricket Vs. The Beer Snake
There's a war going on. On one side, Cricket Australia, the sport's national governing body. On the other side, the elusive beer snake, created by fans stacking thousands of cups through the grandstand. One is the wildly popular national sport of Australia. The other is cricket. And when the two c...
Beer Of The Week: Coney Island Human Blockhead
First time I ever stepped onto Coney Island was to cover the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is a lot of capital letters to ascribe to an event in which men and women choke down mountains of tube steaks on national television, yes, but indeed an event you should attend to if you consid...
One-Handed Beer Football Returns, In PBR Bowl X
For a decade now they've been gathering at 2 p.m. on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. There's no planning, there's no invite—"Everybody just knows to come," says one of the event's founders. They're inexorably drawn by the twin siren songs of American: beer, and football....
Beer Of The Week: Big Rock Brewery's Honey Brown Lager
This weekend the Canadian Football League season culminates with a game called the Grey Cup, in its 100th incarnation. A team called the Stampeders, out of Calgary, is visiting Toronto to play the Argonauts. In rough American equivalence this is Dallas against New York, a big game with a dose of civ...
Beer Of The Week: Stella Artois, Belgium's Allegedly French Beer
Apparently Stella Artois used to be advertised in the U.K. under the slogan "reassuringly expensive." Without knowing the relative merits of price and quality across the pond, I can only rejoice that such a snotty tagline has gone the way of doctors prescribing cigarettes. There is nothing reassurin...
Beer Of The Week: La Fin Du Monde
Add this to your bucket list: Watching a U.S. presidential election from somewhere other than the States. On Tuesday night I was about 40 miles from the border, in Vancouver, watching the election returns with Democrat ex-pats. (The party affiliation was an inevitability, as there are virtually no R...
Beer of the Week: 3 Monts
Basketball resumed this week, and unless you are a Houston Rockets fan, who cares. The T-Wolves at Milwaukee just ain't opening day at Wrigley. The Nuggets flailing in Philadelphia simply isn't the first drop of the puck in Detroit or Boston or Montreal. I once lived in a house with some Steelers fa...
Beer Of The Week: Cerveza Cucapa's Chupacabras Pale Ale
The weather is dimming, the days shrinking, and the bottle of Mexican-made English-style pale ale starts looking more seductive. It's called Chupacabras, by a craft brewer in Baja California called Cerveza Cucapa. (Twitter bio: "The only Mexican Beer that Doesn't need a lime to taste better, The Bes...
Chris Cooley Wanted Beer In His New Contract With The Redskins
After learning that Fred Davis's season was over with a torn Achilles tendon, the Redskins called up Chris Cooley, fan favorite and Washington's tight end from 2004 to 2011. While negotiating a contract, Cooley had an interesting, hop-filled request that Washington unfortunately didn't fulfill....
Beer Of The Week: Australia's Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale
When I dropped the six-pack of Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale on the counter at the liquor store, the clerk immediately began singing its praises, in what sounded like an Australian accent. This was pure happy coincidence, best I could tell....
Lance Armstrong's Last, Sad Ride Will Be For Michelob Ultra
Lance Armstrong probably doesn't feel like a grand prize this week. But he is....
Last Night's Rain Delay Was Called One Out Before The Cardinals Had To Stop Selling Beer
When Shane Robinson grounded out to give the Cardinals a 3-1 lead, with two outs in the seventh, it was raining. Raining hard. Raining hard enough to call the game? Raining harder than in the previous at-bat? Raining not quite as hard as it would for the next batter, when crew chief Gary Darling cal...
Beer Of The Week: Blue Buck, In Time For Canadian Thanksgiving
Monday marks a holiday that in Canada is known as Thanksgiving. Any American will recognize the basic outlines of the day: Get together with friends and family and eat until you can compare stretchmarks and then succumb to naps. That doesn't mean it's the same holiday. Care to (U) guess (S) which (A...
