It’s summer time. Do you know what that means? It means drinking some beer! I know some of you are going to be all over this concept. Wait. Allow us to introduce you to some delicious treats that you can add to your beer. Now, some of these might appear to be a bit odd at first. Just remember, sometimes looks can be deceiving and the taste is what truly shines.
1)We first have the tomato. There are so many different varieties of cherries to choose from. You got your cherries and your tear drops. Small is okay. Bigger is better though. Bigger tomatoes will only add more taste and texture to your beer. Give it a try. You might just be surprised.
2)We have peaches. This is a favorite summer treat for many of us. Try adding some peaches into the mix. It’s the salt in the peaches that will push it over the edge. Just try it.
3)Next we have the cucumbers. It’s best to use the lemon or the Parisian cucumbers. Add in some vinegar and pow. You have got something tasty to brighten up you taste buds. It’s best to choose a light ale with this one. The heavier ones will only take away from the experience.
4) Blackberries are a personal favorite for many. Most people eat them without the beer. Hey, why not try it. The fruity flavor might just add in something special.
5) Sour cherries are another thing you can try. These are sort of hard to find. If you are lucky to find a box of them, buy them up. If you don’t, someone else will get their hands on them. It’s going to be a different way to taste beer, that’s for sure.

Here’s a challenge! Ask a guy what his favorite dinner combination is. If they are like most you’ll hear beer and pizza, repeatedly. With so many different flavors of beer out there, it is no wonder why there’s a type to go with any style of pizza out there. So how can you find out what beer to order with your pizza?
Thanks to Chicago’s Home Run Inn Premium Pizzeria, pairing your beer with pizza has never been easier. They offer a comprehensive breakdown of what pizza will work harmoniously with a certain beer. From the dough to the sauce and even down to the cheese used to make the pizza, there are flavor profiles to consider. Let’s look at a couple classic slices and figure out what beer fits best.
Starting with cheese pizza, it is simple and offers an open palette to the consumer, but there is a fan favorite that will set this cheese slice apart. Typically, cheese pizza is best consumed with an American Pale Ale. With a reserved hop profile and the right level of bitterness, this style of beer offers the perfect complement to the classic cheese pizza.
Now let’s look at a not so plain slice of pizza. The vegetarian pesto pizza brings beer pairings to a different level. We aren’t just flavor profiling cheese here. We have various garden-fresh veggies that are screaming for a beer match. Taking advantage of the light earthy taste of the vegetarian pesto, a dark honey ale will do the trick. It will offer a smooth, dry, and sweet taste that offers this pizza a perfect pairing partner.

Beer is now available for pre-order with the Beer Store’s new Beer Xpress service, accessible through the company’s Beer Store mobile app. The application is freely available for iPhone and Android devices. The Beer Xpress service also extends to desktop devices, allowing for pre-orders to be be made from a PC.
The service works by allowing you to select and order your beer ahead of time so that it is ready upon your arrival for pickup. Instead of selecting your beer at the location and waiting in line, you choose your beer ahead of time and skip the wait by going to their new Beer Xpress station for pickup. The stations bypass the lines and allow you to pay for your beer directly.
The service is an extension to the Beer Store’s mobile application, and is an attempt to broaden and enhance the overall customer experience. The company’s efforts in digital expansion include the application as well in-store touch screens for pricing information. The Beer Xpress service is the latest addition to the company’s technological expansion and is an extension to the Beer Store’s mobile application.
The Beer Store states that orders will generally be ready within 30 minutes of placing an order. All orders are subject to proper age verification.
As of now, the service is only available in 25 test locations throughout Ontario. The Beer Store intends to learn from the test run so that they can improve the quality of their service and eventually offer it in additional locations.

Numerous research studies have concluded drinking moderate amounts of beer each day can be good for your health in more than one way. One of the benefits appears to be a reduction in heart attacks. The most recent study, done by the IRCCS Mediterranean Neurological Institute and published in the journal Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, found that drinking about 330 ml of beer daily reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke by about twenty five percent.
The study was actually a review of 150 other studies on the possible beneficial effects of alcohol on health. The latest study reveals that, on average, all of the other studies demonstrated that consuming about a pint and a half of beer a day is strongly associated with a significant reduction in heart disease and stroke. It also found this benefit came without raising the odds for cancer or dementia.
Other research into the nutritional value of beer has found the beverage to have significant amounts of important minerals including iodine, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. These studies also concluded the type of sugar in beer is less likely to cause obesity or type 2 diabetes than the type of sugar in many other processed foods and beverages. Obesity and diabetes are also risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Researchers from the latest study were quick to add that the benefits of beer drinking only hold true when it is consumed in moderation. Drinking too much of any kind of alcohol is definitely associated with poor health outcomes.

It actually gauges when your beer will start to falter based on when you bought it and what is printed on the bottle. You just need to make sure that you put all your beer into the app so that you can get a readout on what it will do. You can drink the beer in a certain order based on what the app tells you, and then you can use the app to tell you when it is time to get more beer.
You can actually get rid of beer that is past its prime, and you might even check out beers on the shelf that have passed their prime based on what is printed on the bottle. The app can stop you from buying beer that is not going to last very long, and you will know if you need to drink it right now or drink it later.
You also need to make sure that you get alerts from the app when you are holding onto beer. You need all the information you can get when you are trying to enjoy your beer, and it will really help you when you are working in a restaurant. Bartenders can use the app to learn a lot about their beer, and you can use it as the manager to make sure that you are selling the right beer at the right time. This simple app tells you a lot about your beer, and it increases enjoyment for everyone when they crack open a bottle.
