We’re tired this week and there’s nothing much but boring beer news on the wire. Promoting BeerWars LIVE has put this soldier on temporary leave. Thankfully, the Bruisin’ minions we hired are working out okay and putting in their time. They talk funny and make crappy coffee, but why complain? Here’s your weekend wrap-up of random beer news.

BeerWars LIVE: April 16 @ 8pm
Don’t miss it. We’ve been plugging it relentlessly, because it’s a wonderful opportunity to see this one-night-only event. The Beer Guy’s got a write-up in this week’s Take5. There are loads of things leading up to the showing at 8pm. Did you get your tickets yet? 

Corona Extra threatened by Bud Light Lime
Weakest beer battle ever? We don’t really care who wins.

Acts by Stupid People: New Jersey

Acts by Stupid People: California

As part of the “Save Miller Lite” campaign, monies have been moved around to update and “re”market some key brands at MillerCoors. We bet they’re pitching the Super Bowl ads already, which will involve twins, reptiles, cavemen, and oh, whatever.

LivingSocial gets even more impossible to ignore
You know the website, and now that little Facebook application, LivingSocial (therefore making itself impossible to ignore) where you have to either name or at least, read, the “favorites” of anything by anyone? Yeah, well, they just bought out the Buy Your Friends A Drink (BYFAD) Network.
