THE BEER PRAYER
Our Lager, which art in barrels, hallowed be thy drink, |
Ray in his "Beer Room". |
| Beer ---term for fermented alcoholic beverages made from cereal grains that have been converted to malt. Beer may be brewed from several kinds of high-starch grains. Thus, in the United States, beer is generally made from malted barley, with corn, rice, or sugar added as a malt adjunct, and hops used for flavoring. In Japan, beer (called sake) is brewed from rice. African tribes make beer from grains native to their regions, such as teff, millet, or grass seeds. Russians use rye bread to prepare their beer, called quass or kvass. |

Brewing ---British, European, and American beers differ
markedly in flavor and content, but are brewed similarly. In the U.S.,
where the word beer is generally understood to mean lager beer
(beer stored for a time before being sold), the beverage contains on
the average 90 percent water, 3.5 percent alcohol by weight, 0.5 percent
carbon dioxide, and 6 percent extractives consisting of proteins, carbohydrates,
minerals, and aromatic flavorings. It is produced by bottom-fermenting yeasts,
that is, yeasts that settle to the bottom, act slowly, and develop the brew at
relatively low temperatures. Bock beer, high in flavor and alcoholic content,
is brewed during the winter for consumption in the spring. In certain localities
the composition of the water is especially favorable for producing a distinctive
type of beer. Such brews are frequently named for their cities of origin, for
example, Munich, Pilsener, or Milwaukee beer.! |

History ---Beer has always been a popular beverage because it does not deteriorate
during long periods of storage and is adaptable to all climates. With various names
and in many forms it has been produced from the earliest times. It was made in ancient
Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece. At first brewed in the home or in monasteries, beer had
become a commercial product in Europe by the late Middle Ages. In modern times it is a
staple large-scale manufacture in almost all industrialized countries, especially in
Great Britain, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the United States. In the New World, the art of brewing was practiced by the Native Americans before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The first Europeans to brew beer in America were the Virginia colonists of 1587. Manufacture of beer was encouraged in early colonial laws in America as a means of reducing the consumption of stronger alcoholic beverages. This traditional policy was generally followed in the laws of the various states and the federal government until World War I. Under wartime restrictions the brewing of beer was first limited and then prohibited. Beer containing more than 0.5 percent alcohol was included in the prohibition of intoxicating beverages by legislation under the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Congress legalized beer containing 3.5 percent alcohol in March 1933, and eight months later the Prohibition amendment was repealed by the 21st Amendment. ![]() Prohibition: The Feds destroying cases of beer. Laws of the individual states regulate the manufacture, distribution, and sale of beer within their jurisdictions and provide for the licensing of brewers, distributors, and retailers. Direct taxes are levied on beer by all states and the federal government. / / / TOP / / / |

Drink for a Better Nation!A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest
buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the
slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed
first. This natural selection is good for the herd as
a whole, because the general speed and health of the
whole is maintained or even improved by the regular
culling of the weakest members. It is a fact that some people still need alcohol abuse treatment, unlike some who do imbibe alcohol but at a more moderate and responsible rate. So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing
its technological edge, we must not shudder in our
homes. Get back into the bars. Quaff that pint.
Your company and country need you to be at your peak,
and you shouldn't deny yourself the career that you
could have.
Take life by the bottle and be all that you can be.
Alert all of your friends, acquaintances and
coworkers that may be in danger of losing their edge. |
