Hopslam: Part Deux
We received a few more cases of Bell’s Hopslam today. If you missed it the first time around, here’s your last chance. Asheville Beer Blog absolutely loves this beer right now. [Bell's Brands]

Strange dealings at Ølfabrikken
As excited as we were to finally add Ølfabrikken Abbey Ale to our beer list, we are saddened/confused/indifferent to read this news via BeerAdvocate this morning. Follow-up shows that the brewery’s website has been shut down. He-said, he-said. [Nanobryg]

Pump up that Vitamin B
A Filipino brewer is adding Vitamin B in its beer to “make beer a healthier habit.” [ABS-CBN Interactive]

Update from the Incredibly Stupid Department:
Police in St. Augustine, Fl., arrested Tina D. Williams, 46, on the charges of “drunken driving, child abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia, and driving without a license.” Seems she had a case of Busch beer strapped in the front seat of her car and her 1-year-old daughter in the back with no seatbelt or booster. Ugh. [USAToday]

Update from the Higher Than Thou Department:
Because we had to suffer through the nothing-new-to-learn that was Super Tuesday (except that Huckabee is possibly a smidgen more popular than everyone thought), let’s wrap-up today with a little politics. Utah Republicans are “proposing a law banning the sale of cold beer in grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations. The bill would be an effort to get people to drink less beer or not drink at all.” [Daily Utah Chronicle]
