That was the case for Clifton Vial, a 52-year-old Nome, Alaska, man who lived on cans of beer for three days after his car was stuck in a snowdrift.

The Beer Archeologist: Tasting World History

Dr. Patrick McGovern looks nothing like Harrison Ford. The 66-year-old Scientific Director of the Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory for Cuisine, Fermented Beverages and Health at the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia has earned a few nicknames during his career, including “the Indiana Jones of alcohol,” “the beer archeologist” or “the Lazarus of libations.”   read more

Frozen Pints Beer Ice Cream

Ice-cold beer and ice cream seem like the perfect complement to a summer day, so it’s only natural that someone would combine the two at some point. The people over at Atlanta-based Frozen Pints have, and the results sound pretty amazing—especially in August. Frozen Pints advertises six flavors, which include peach lambic, honey IPA and malted-milk chocolate stout. Each flavor goes through at least 12 test recipes at a local pub before it’s finalized.
