More Daily Dose: Part Deux

EU trying to get Iran thrown out of World Cup
Guardian launch World Cup podcasts. WCBlog did the first one months ago…hosted by the thinking mans sarcastic Serie A expert James Richardson. Includes great discussion (around the 15 minute mark) featuring a genuine “beer journalist,”about a theoretical World Cup of Beer, for which America would apparently be “dark horses.”
South Korea name their 23 and our South Korean blogger GreekFreak gives some tidy analysis.

Thanks to Daryl at USA Team Blog for feeding my these stories and letting me plagiarize his descriptions. More coming soon.

Ya, I heard that podcast. The beer guy sounded like he knew what he was talking about but the American beer thing threw me for a loop. I’m positive he was talking about local micro-breweries.

Must of been. Yes the Yanks Macros are gnarly, but the micros are some of the best that I have tasted in the world.

Bud…Miller…pretty gross. The wierd bit is the ‘light’ version of each is just as popular if not more so than the regular. What a nutty country.

As I have aged…now 33, I admit to drinking Miller Lite in the summer – it is light and refreshing and I don’t get a buzz too quickly from it. I love the micros, but I get trashed way to easily on them.

It’s like most everything else. The Yanks make some of the best and worst of nearly everything. Some of the best films in the world are made in the US, but so are almost all of the bad ones. Same deal with beer. And literature. And sans-a-belt slacks.
