So I stumbled upon a banner on some webpage that adverstized a website called www.herestobeer.com . Seeing as how I enjoy beer, I clicked on its and its actually a pretty cool site. Lots of beer trivia and information on properly brewing, choosing, and drinking beer. So, You may ask, who has provided this great resource for those of us who enjoy good beer? Surprisingly enough, it is none other than the "king of (crappy) beer" himself, Anheuser Busch. Yes, even though the bottom of the page says " © 2006 Here’s To Beer, Inc. Washington D.C.", the "contact us" link on the page points to "http://contactus.anheuser-busch.com/contactus/herestobeer/contact_us.asp". Furthermore, while the whois database (a database that tells you who owns a internet domain) gives the registrar as EMARKMONITOR INC, it gives the name server as CORPNS1.ANHEUSER-BUSCH.COM. I'm sure this is some sort of marketting ploy, but you gotta hand it to them for (even if not explicitly) putting their name on a website geared towards the kind of people would not usually drink their beer. But maybe thats the point. I did notice that "American Style Lagers" were featured more prominently than they probabaly would be on most frou frou beer websites.
Anyway, sorry for nerding up this blog with computonet terms and whatnot on only the 4th post.

Forgot to mention that this site also has a section conveniently titled "Beer and Food" which has recipes as well as lists of what beers go well with what foods and how to pair beer with cheese.
Two things...
The URL of the link Tim entered is www.herstobeer.com, while the link text is www.herestobeer.com. www.herstobeer.com is one of those domain name squatters. Good for information on herstobeer, all your herstobeer needs, but not the site tim mentioned. I fixed the link.
Two, when there's only one comment, it says "1 comments". I think blogger.com should look into this code I'm having copyrighted.
print (commentArray.count + " comment");
if (commentArray.count != 1)
print ("s");
That's all.
beerandfood.blogspot.com is very informative. The article is very professionally written. I enjoy reading beerandfood.blogspot.com every day.
