Labour Could Reduce Drink Drive Limit

There is much pressure facing the Government to reduce the legal blood alcohol limit for drivers. The current limit is 80mg per 100ml of blood which would allow the consumption of roughly a pint and a half of medium strength lager for an average sized man. The proposed limit would bring it down to 50mg per 100ml of blood is less than an average pint or a large glass of wine but would match the legal limit in the European Union.

Currently anyone caught driving over the legal limit faces an automatic 12 month driving ban but Sir Peter North QC is currently reviewing the case to introduce a lesser penalty for a lower limit such as 6 points on a driving licence. Changes could also see prosecutions for drivers found with illegal drugs in their bloodstream, regardless of whether it impaired their performance.

According to Lord Adonis, the Transport Secretary, 430 people were killed as a result of drink driving last year however this figure only refers to people who were over the current legal limit. He also suggests drug-driving is a key concern for the public.  Read more...

Oktoberfest has long been an important occasion for sampling all the wonderful beverages that the country has to offer, so if you’re thinking about going to an American variety of the celebration, or are going to be visiting Europe in the near future, here’s some information regarding German beer that will help you appreciate exactly what you’re drinking.

There are actually more than 1,000 German breweries, which is an unmistakable indication of how popular the beverage is there. Only the US has more breweries than Germany, and many of the American formulations for beer have come from that country. Only the Czechs and the Irish drink more brew per person than Germans.

Breweries in Germany are cut off from the rest of the world as a result of a German rule referred to as Reinheitsgebot, meaning ‘purity order.’ Brewers aim to make sure that German beer is made from the freshest and most reliable ingredients, and this process dates as far back as the 16th century. Barley malt is the principal ingredient in most German beer, and those that don’t include barley malt have to be top-fermented. Hops and water are the only other components utilized in most modern and classic German beer.  Read more...

Small Town Brawl!

It was a quite day in a small Bar in upstate New York . The girl working behind the bar was young, she had just turned Eighteen and had only been bar tending a few weeks, this was her first time working alone. Everything was going fine with only two of the regulars in the back shooting pool it was nothing she could not handle she thought to herself.

Then the front door opened and in walked ten of the biggest men she had ever seen. They talked loudly and as they walked over to the far side of the bar, She got a look at the back of their jackets. She could easily see that the markings on them where all the same. The men ordered pitchers of beer and their talking only got louder as they drank more and talked about things she did not understand. Then the men went quite as the front door opened and in walked seven more large men, at first she thought these seven men where with the first Ten as they looked and dressed similar but as she looked at the markings on the backs of these new comers Jackets she could tell while they where similar the markings where different, By the way the two groups where looking at each other she guessed the difference must mean a lot to them.  Read more...

Does the thought of brewing your own homemade beer appeal to you? Lot’s of people do it, and it’s not hard at all. You just need to make sure you have the proper equipment. Here’s a handy guide to the equipment that you’ll need, as well as the uses for each of the items.

One of the most important pieces of beer making equipment that you’ll need is a fermenter. Making sure that the device has the ability to keep the hops and wort packed air-tight is very important; this affects the flavor of the beer. Choosing a well made fermenter also prevents bacteria from forming in the beer, thereby prolonging its life.

When you purchase a fermenter, you’ll most likely be encouraged to buy other beer making equipment like a bottling bucket and bottle filler. You’ll make use of them after the brew is fully fermented and you’re ready to put it into bottles. Make sure you choose a filler with a powerful valve so your beer can be poured into bottles easily after the worst has been pressed. The purpose of your bottling bucket is to prime the corn or cane sugar; once it’s primed it will provide the proper level of sweetness for the beer. This beer making equipment will help you to create your final product.  Read more...
