All times are in ET

BUT, because…

I’ll go out on a limb, after a weekend of drinking green beer,

even Green Guinness

and predict the following…

Why is March Madness so popular?

Over $50 billion in illegal wagers are placed on college basketball games each year.

But interestingly!!!!

 The NCAA officially “opposes all forms of legal and illegal sports wagering, which has the potential to undermine the integrity of sports contests and jeopardizes the welfare of student-athletes and the intercollegiate athletics community.”

Fun Beer Facts for St. Patrick’s Day

Why Drink Green Beer on St. Patrick’s Day?

Not in Ireland!

That’s an American or Canadian tradition. You’ll find that most Irish people don’t like the concept of turning lesser American beers green and calling it Irish.  In North America, many people believe celebrating St. Patrick’s Day means Leprechauns, Shillelaghs and Green things. If you want to properly celebrate St. Patrick’s, find a good Irish beer you like and raise a glass.

In Toronto,  Guinness wants to teach everyone how to “paint the town black” in an authentic Irish way. They’re official motto this year is:

“On St. Patrick’s Day,

friends don’t let friends

drink green beer!”

Where did the expression

“wet your whistle”

come from? 

About 4000 years ago, it was the accepted practice in Babylonia that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calender was lunar based, this period was called the “honey month” or what we know to day as the “Honey Moon”.

**

Before invention of the thermometer, brewers used to check the temperature by dipping their thumb, to find whether appropriate for adding Yeast. Too hot, the yeast would die. This is where we get the phrase ” The Rule of the Thumb”

**

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender used to yell at them to mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. From where we get “mind your own P’s and Q’s”.

**

After consuming a vibrant brew called Aul or Ale, the Vikings would go fearlessly to the battlefield, without their armour, or even their shirts. The “Berserk” means “bear shirt” in norse, and eventually to the meaning of wild battles.

**

Way down in 1740, the Admiral Veron of the British fleet decided to water down the navy’s rum, which naturally, the sailors weren’t pleased with. They nicknamed the Admiral Old Grog, after the still stiff grogram coats he used to wear. The term grog soon began to mean the watered down drink itself. When you are drunk on this  grog, you are “groggy”, a word still in use.

Just a little GROGGY!

Long ago in England, pub frequenters

had a whistle baked into the rim of

their beer mugs or ceremic/glass cups.

The whistle was used to order services.

Thus we get the phrase,

“wet your whistle”.
