Limey!
First Miller Chill, now this. Why, god, why?

Beer floats
No, it doesn’t float. We’re talking nouns here. George Washington was fond of making porter floats with vanilla ice cream. Take that, all ye naysayers when we tell you to try that with your chocolate stouts.

Beer+ Chocolate=Love
“What makes a chocolate and beer tasting great is the fact that it is unusual, and it works. Even folks who say they don’t like beer like chocolate,” Halfpenny explained. “Anyone with an untrained palate can find bready, toasty, caramel, toffee, roasty, chocolate, coffee and, yes, fruity notes in beer. They just have to get it out of the bottle and stop long enough to think about it.” Hear, hear!

Atlanta taxis take matters into their own hands
Entreprenurial taxi drivers decided they’d double as a beer delivery service. The police did not like that idea.

Tipping Point pays off for Guinness
Struggling brewer, Guinness, rebounds after months of airtime for its award-winning Tipping Point commercial. Filmed up an Argentian mountain, the ad shows an uber cool domino effect that features 6,000 dominoes, 10,000 books, 400 tyres, 75 mirrors, 50 fridges, 45 wardrobes and six cars. Video with link.
