Hopefully new Twitter beer is more reliable than its namesake

Social networking nerds were all a twitter when a micro brew called Spring Tweet was announced earlier this week. The beer, of course is named after Twitter posts that have been killing your productivity and boring your friends across North America for the past three years. Up until recently anyway. Now it seems you’re more likely to see the  Fail Whale page that appears when logging in because the social network is over-capacity.

And even though we probably have John Mayer and Ashton Kutcher to thank for all the system overloads, I still hope the beer works better than the service. It would suck if it got you drunk sometimes and other times not. But you still get a hangover either way. And when you wake up, it starts telling what it ate for breakfast and what kind of a day it’s having at work. It’s like, enough already beer, you were fun at first, but now you’re annoying me. Go make me a sandwich.

Personally, I would have brewed one called Fail Whale Pale Ale. It would be strong, effervescent and it would block your ass as soon as I had enough of you. Good beer.


Alberta man tasered for alcohol abuse

If you’re going to throw anything at the cops, you better be ready for them to bring the pain. But why would you throw your beer at them?!

Homeboy could have easily avoided the corrective shock if he had just finished his beer and become less “agitated.” Beer&news gets agitated just about every day, and I guess the only thing keeping us from getting tasered more often is the de-agitating effects of our favorite cold beverage.

Food for thought.
