Beer Of The Week: Hoptimus Prime
The further we get from the '80s, the less defensible the hero-toys look. G.I.

Beer of the Week: 1488 Premium Whisky Beer
The first time I tried a beer that had been aged in whiskey casks was in Scotland, at some Edinburgh pub where I'd asked for something tasty and local.

Beer And Game Pairing: Hell Or High Watermelon With Bowling Green At Florida

So Tracy's on his way home with a sixpack of refreshing Sedrin beer, the official Chinese beer of the NBA, when he's set upon by some streetballers intent on stealing his refreshing Sedrin beer, so they take advantage of his well-known benevolence to catch him in a Wile E. Coyote trap, only it doe...

Claude Giroux Played Beer Pong With Casts On Both Wrists
Claude Giroux is still the postseason points and goals leader, despite being eliminated two weeks ago. Last week he had surgery on both wrists—bone spurs in one, torn cartilage in the other.

It Will Be Hard, But Not Impossible, To Get Drunk At The Blue Jays' Home Opener
A reminder to Blue Jays fans that you should probably get hammered before going through the turnstiles tonight, as the Rogers Centre will be severely curtailing beer sales since you've proven you can't hold your alcohol. Look at you. You're a drunken sloppy mess and you're never going to make anythi...

Two Rec Hockey Leagues Kicked Out By Town For Rampant Smoking, Drinking, "Torn Rectum"
Up in Kingsville, Ontario, they skate hard, and they drink hard. Too damn hard for the folks at Kingsville, who evicted two men's leagues from their arena after months of shenanigans. Yes, it's beer league hockey. But it's not cigarette league, or drunken brawl league, or beer bottle up the anus lea...

Beer Down In Calgary!
Lee Stempniak transmitted a check through Alexander Edler and the plexiglass to knock a crisp frosty brew out of the hands of one unlucky fan, who really should have waited for a break in the action to walk back to his front row seats, the entitled jackass. And if you're with that guy behind you, ...

Here's An Actual Sport That Requires Nothing More Than Holding A Beer
No, really. That's it. And it's called Masskrugstemmen. "The game is far more popular in Germany, where it is played in beer halls and outdoor festivals.
