Major League Fishing – a partnership involving 24 of the world’s best anglers and Outdoor Channel, America’s Leader In Outdoor TV – offers high-intensity, real-time competitive events designed to bring high-level challenges to participants and entertainment to audiences. The league’s first event, the Challenge Cup, is now available on a series of web-based Pay-Per-View broadcasts via www.majorleaguefishing.com. Television broadcasts of Major League Fishing events are also slated to air on Outdoor Channel in late March.

“We are thrilled to have Busch Beer as a sponsor of Major League Fishing. Busch Beer is an excellent brand with history of supporting outdoor sports and bass fishing, and we believe this is a good fit for our league and Busch Beer,” Major League Fishing Commissioner Don Rucks said.

“Major League Fishing is among the premier organizations for bass anglers and is a natural fit for the Busch beer brand,” said Brad Brown, vice president of sports & entertainment marketing, Anheuser-Busch. “We look forward to working with the league to introduce new and innovative activations to engage bass anglers and fishing enthusiasts nationwide.”

Busch Beer sponsors two individual anglers – Kevin VanDam and Denny Brauer – that compete in Major League Fishing. VanDam, a four-time Bassmaster Classic champion and seven-time BASS angler-of-the-year, believes that a Major League Fishing and Busch Beer “go well together.”

“Busch Beer is a great brand with an eye for things that appeal to people who like the outdoors,” VanDam said. “You couldn’t find a better match than Busch Beer and Major League Fishing.”

Major League Fishing introduced its innovative, new format in November during filming of the Challenge Cup, which is presented by Busch Beer.

Utilizing real-time leader boards in each boat and unlimited fish counts, the format forces competitors to keep up with their rivals or face elimination. Adding to the drama is the lack of any practice time or advance scouting as venues are revealed at the last moment. Competitors have called it the most intense form of fishing they’ve ever experienced.

Brauer, considered for three decades as one of the top competitors in professional fishing, said, “We have a great product in Major League Fishing, and I can’t begin to describe how intense my experience was fishing in the Challenge Cup. I’m really pleased that Busch Beer will be going forward with us as we compete in future Major League Fishing events.”

Aside from co-developing the league, Outdoor Channel, America’s Leader In Outdoor TV, is also the exclusive media partner for Major League Fishing. The company has a 19-year history in delivering on its promise: to provide a complete spectrum of compelling, informative entertainment for the outdoor enthusiast. The network features authentic hunting, fishing, shooting, off-road, adventure and conservation shows with the biggest on-air celebrities in the outdoor industry.

The brewery will be the official beer sponsor of the 2012 Boston Marathon, one of the most revered and challenging races in the world. To celebrate, the Samuel Adams brewers are developing a special commemorative beer to mark the heralded event. This is the first time Samuel Adams has partnered with the Boston Athletic Association for the Marathon.

“Our partnership is a perfect fit because of our shared history– a Boston-born brewery joining the biggest of Boston traditions,” said Jim Koch, founder and brewer of Samuel Adams. “I released my first batch of Samuel Adams Boston Lager to the public on Patriots Day in 1985, the day of the Marathon right here in Boston. I faced a lot of challenges getting that first brew packaged and distributed in time, but I had set Patriots’ Day as my deadline. About half of our first 25 accounts were within three blocks of the finish line. So, the Marathon’s finish line was my starting line,” added Koch.

The brewers of Samuel Adams beers have been working hard to develop “Samuel Adams® Boston 26.2 Brew,” a special beer which will be available at race-related events, as well as pubs and restaurants along the Marathon route and around Boston.

“We at the B.A.A. are very pleased to be partnering with another Boston institution,” said Joann E. Flaminio, B.A.A. President. “The Boston Marathon is all about Boston and all about competitive success in a challenging environment. The same is true of the folks at The Boston Beer Company and Samuel Adams. They are our neighbors here in town, and they have gotten where they are through the same hard work that we see from all of the athletes from around the world who work hard to qualify to run the Boston Marathon each year. We are delighted to join with Jim Koch and all of his colleagues in saying to 27,000 competitors from around the globe, ‘Welcome to Boston’, ‘welcome to our home town.’ We’re proud to have you here and to enjoy what we have to offer.”

Since the Boston Marathon’s first run in 1897, the event has been held every year in April on Patriot’s Day.

About The Boston Beer Company: The Boston Beer Company began in 1984 with a generations-old family recipe that Founder and Brewer Jim Koch uncovered in his father’s attic. Inspired and unafraid to challenge conventional thinking about beer, Jim brought the recipe to life in his kitchen. Pleased with the results of his work, Jim decided to sample his beer with bars in Boston in the hopes that drinkers would appreciate the complex, full-flavored beer he brewed fresh in America. That beer was aptly named Samuel Adams Boston Lager®, in recognition of one of our nation’s great founding fathers, a man of independent mind and spirit. Little did Jim know at the time, Samuel Adams Boston Lager soon became a catalyst of the American craft beer revolution.

Today, The Boston Beer Company brews more than 30 styles of beer. It relentlessly pursues the development of new styles and the perfection of classic beers by searching the world for the finest ingredients. Using the traditional four vessel brewing process, the Company often takes extra steps like dry-hopping, barrel-aging and a secondary fermentation known as krausening. The Company has also pioneered another revolution, the ‘extreme beer’ movement, where it seeks to challenge drinker’s perceptions of what beer can be. The Boston Beer Company has been committed to elevating the image of American craft beer by entering festivals and competitions around the globe, and in the past five years has won more awards in international beer competitions than any other brewery in the world. As an independent company, brewing quality beer remains its single focus. Although Samuel Adams® beer is America’s largest-selling craft beer, it accounts for only one percent of the U.S. beer market. The Boston Beer Company will continue its independently-minded quest to brew great beer and to advocate for the growth of craft beer across America.

“My family has a history of making bold choices by consistently challenging itself to embrace innovation while honoring the tradition of our world famous bourbon,” said Fred Noe, Seventh-Generation Jim Beam Family Distiller and great-grandson of Jim Beam. “We’ve done a great job of pushing the envelope and trailblazing the innovative bourbon category while still staying true to our roots with an authentic 80-proof, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.”

While some flavored bourbons and whiskeys use liqueur to alter their flavor – all three Red Stag expressions are 80-proof bourbons, infused with natural flavors through a unique artisanal process. Red Stag Honey Tea offers a warm, rich taste with a hint of honey and tea for just the right amount of sweetness, while Red Stag Spiced enhances the bold bourbon with flavors of cinnamon and spice.

“The Red Stag brand has broken barriers and driven new consumers toward bourbon, including women who may have previously shied away from brown spirits,” said Rob Mason, U.S. Senior Director of Bourbons, Beam Inc. “We’re proud that we were the first to address that trend with the launch of Red Stag Black Cherry, and now with Red Stag Honey Tea and Red Stag Spiced. We look forward to helping new and old bourbon drinkers make the bold jump into the bourbon category.”

The two new additions to the Red Stag portfolio have received glowing recommendations from industry experts. According to Tony Sachs, spirits writer for The Huffington Post, “The Honey Tea is a nice combination of sweet, tangy honey with dry, slightly bitter tea, while Spiced has a nice cinnamon edge to it.”

Red Stag by Jim Beam is now available for a suggested retail price of $17.99 for a 750ml bottle. For more information about Red Stag by Jim Beam, go to www.jimbeam.com/red-stag, visit us at www.facebook.com/JimBeam or follow us at @JimBeamOfficial.

As the only comprehensive source of scanner-based sales data for the natural products supermarket channel, the SPINS Topline report tracks product sales and growth rates by brand in a variety of categories in the natural products industry, including diet supplements.

“It’s been our goal from the beginning to become the world’s leading supplier of natural, effective diet and weight loss supplements, and we are thrilled to see that it looks like we’re well on our way,” said Ike Blackmon, Executive Director at Creative Bioscience. “The fact that we’ve outsold brands with a 15 year history in the business is quite a testament to the immediate and remarkable results our customers have seen.”

Creative Bioscience’s newly reformulated hCG1234™ offers dieters a powerful, effective, amino-based blend clinically supported to enhance diet results. This proprietary combination of amino acids and herbal extracts works to block fat, boost fat metabolism and provide essential nutrition when used in conjunction with Dr. Simeons’ Protocol of allowed foods in proper portions—an effective weight loss program backed by a 50-year history of helping people lose weight and improve their overall health. Designed for dynamic, rapid weight loss, Creative Bioscience’s premium American-made hCG1234™ has helped many dieters lose an average of 1-2 pounds per day, without the need for vigorous exercise and with more calorie and food choices than other products provide.

Blackmon says the results of the SPINS report not only prove that Creative Bioscience’s advanced formulations help customers achieve their weight loss goals with safe, natural products, but also that the company itself is changing the way the diet industry works by bringing a refreshing new level of transparency and personalized customer attention into the equation.

“We have long believed that the diet industry as a whole needed a wake-up call. For too long, most companies have gotten away with hiding behind ambiguous claims and giving customers virtually no way to contact the company with questions, or if they need assistance with their diet program,” Blackmon said. “Smart dieters today demand better service and more accountability. We’re one of the only supplement makers to offer that personal touch by providing free, 24/7 access to our trained diet support specialists who can help you overcome plateaus, provide encouragement or offer sound, realistic advice.”

In addition to the popular hCG 1234™, Creative Bioscience offers a wide range of products, including many that feature the Dr. Oz recommended Raspberry Ketones. The diet giant’s supplement portfolio includes tailored solutions to meet different weight loss styles: hCG Zero Liquid™, Diet Revive™, hCG Energy™, hCG Cleanse™, eAC 1234™ for energy and appetite control and rCC 1234™ for rapid colon cleanse each fill a specific dieting need. Its line of African Mango products— which Dr. Oz called a “miracle in your medicine cabinet that can help you lose 10 pounds”—include African Mango Lean™, African Mango 1200™ and African Mango Cleanse™ to enhance weight loss by naturally increasing metabolism and suppressing appetite. All Creative Bioscience products are manufactured in FDA-inspected and GMP-approved labs in the United States.

Today’s review is remarkably appropriate since the mid-season premier of The Walking Dead will be on in 2 days! The wife and I are pretty excited. Without further ado… Let’s pour!

Aroma 11/12: Wow! The label says Pale Ale, but this is clearly an IPA if not a DIPA. Pine resin aroma is thick in the nose and not far behind is a splendid combination of honey, peach (a bit of mango), and grapefruit bitter. A 2-3 oz. pour for smelling really lets the hops settle down and allows some malts to showcase their talents. It was a rapid transition from the aforementioned fruits to a musty straw type of malt with herbal hops, the pine still lingering just behind them. Pouring the full glass strengthened the hops and made it difficult to pick out the odd herbal and musty notes again, which, I confess, I did not detect at all in my first bottle. However, a general sweetness has settled over the glass comprised of honey and citrus hops. Caramel may be in there too, but it is blended to well and is competing against some rather formidable hops. After warming the aroma becomes much brighter and shows its citric acidity.

Appearance 3/3: If you look at the picture below and don’t want to drink it, you don’t like beer. It. Looks. Gorgeous. The head is perfect in portion, has a nice pastel orange color, leaves fair lacing, and is stiff enough to shake (not wave) whenever I disturb the tulip glass. The color is assisted by an all but perfect clarity and is full of bright honey shades, hints of peach, and lightly hued copper. Fantastic.

Flavor 20/20: It starts with a light, sweet malt flavor that is soon CRUSHED by an absolute tidal wave of hoppy goodness. The contrast is almost cartoonish and gives me a new appreciation for their bottle art. The backbone is hops doing their thing. The primary flavor is the grapefruit, the resin second, and the pine third. The pine fades away to allow a dull lemon to come through and mingle with the initial grapefruit flavor, making it slightly brighter and more acidic. A quick slurp brings out the alcohol (ABV not indicated on the label) and a lot of the fruit flavors! After the beer warms it truly becomes more complex and allows the sweeter flavors to have their say. The peach-mango note from the aroma is faint, but present and is more easily detected against the now present malts. The resin’s bitterness mixes with the malts and would have us believe that they’re burnt, but truly they’re a light caramel that, with the honey, tries mightily to provide some sweetness to balance this hoppy brew. The finish is a sharp bitter that initially tingles the tongue (literally), but eventually the palate acclimates and the drinker is allowed to focus on the creamy texture and drying, bitter, sticky aftertaste.

Mouthfeel 5/5: This beer does a lot of cool things texture-wise. Most noticeably is that it foams up very nicely in the mouth. Not so much as to fill the mouth, but definitely enough to cover the tongue in a comforting way. The best simile that I can give is that of several inches worth of feathers covering a floor after a pillow fight. It’s not to the ceiling, but it’s definitely buried. The carbonation is tiny and leans more toward being refreshing and spirited instead of trying to make this beer seem heavier than it is. Overall, the mouthfeel is… deceptive. I’d call it medium, but the citrus flavors and the carbonation want you to believe that this beer is lighter than it really is.

Overall Impression 9/10: What can I say? I really enjoyed it. It has a big hop aroma, lighter mouthfeel than most “serious” IPAs, and is very complex as a whole. It smells like absolute heaven! Honey, fruits, resin, pine… I need to trade for this stuff all the time! The taste is also fantastic. It’s definitely hop leaning, but if you let it warm a bit you’re in for a much more balanced, citrus-sweet ride. I cannot recommend enough to let this beer warm.

Total 48/50: I think that the only thing holding this beer back is inconsistency. Maybe it’s just so complex that I can’t quite get a handle on it and see something new every time. My first bottle (several days ago) earned the remarks from me, “DAMN! Resin galore and a very light body!” The first bottle that I had tonight, definitely had some funky flavors in the aroma (straw, herbal hops, etc). The second bottle was more like the first: honey, hops, citrus goodness, but still offered more caramel than either of the previous two. I’m not sure what to make of all this. I’m not an expert, that’s for certain. However, I’m no slouch either and I’d like to think I can taste differences like these. Very odd.

In any case, they seem to all feature the honey, peach/mango, resin, pine and lighter nature. This is the center around which all the bottles seemed to rotate. I’m more than OK with that. I wish I could buy cases of this. CASES! It’s supremely tasty and I don’t feel weighed down at all. It makes me wish my wife didn’t appreciate “The Walking Dead” as much so that I wouldn’t have to share a bottle! But what’s craft beer without sharing, right? After all, I’m glad that Lance shared this with me. It’s only right to keep the beer karma rolling, to “pay it forward,” and share this ungodly, undead brew. You could buy this for the aroma alone. It’s enough to keep you busy. A big, fat “CHEERS” to 3 Floyds. Your reputation is well-deserved.

The bottle reads, “This intensely hopped and gushing undead pale ale will be ones only respite after the zombie apocalypse. Created with marvelous friends in the comic industry. Art by Tim Seeley.”

We’re here because we enjoy savoring a great beer with even better friends. Sharing great beer is just as amazing as finding it in the first place. Lets share!

Luckily my cold has broken for the most part, and as my reward for joining the ranks of the working dregs, I have decided to open a couple bottles of Real Ale Brewing Company’s Sisyphus, a bottle from 2008 that was gifted to me by my brother and another from 2011, bought last week from Central Market in Southlake, TX.

The bottle from 2008, which is to date the only intentionally aged bottle of beer I’ve had the opportunity to drink, pours out a nice amber hue that is cloudy with minimal signs of active carbonation outside of the dense, silver dollar thick head that formed.

Reminiscent of artisanal honey, the up front bouquet of this barlywine style ale is sweet with a floral and fruit like essence.

Carried on a thick, syrupy body, the flavors of the 2008 variety offers a strong honey sweetness that is augmented by light clove, green apple, and caramel notes, creating a very busy profile on the palate.

Where the ’08 bottle is somewhat overpowering with a bright, saccharine profile, the ’11 example is more balanced and refined.

As the first bottle knocked out the olfactory glands with aromas, the latter is quite a bit subtler, only suggesting malt and floral hoppiness, as opposed to beating the drinker over the head.

Pouring out with a less impressive crown, more active carbonation and greater translucency is present than in the older bottle of Sisyphus, but is similarly hued.

With a more medium bodied mouthfeel, the primary notes are of a caramel maltiness with an almost strawberry like tilt. While still sweet, a nice, welcomed somewhat floral bitterness adds a wonderful sharpness to the back end that I feel was lacking in the earlier bottle.

Ultimately though, the wide range of flavors, complexity, and overall quality put in both of these beers is wonderful, and make this a limited release ale that is a must grab when I see the next year’s offering.

Prost!

I brew and drink beer, smoke pipes and cigars, eat till I’ve had more than my fill, and escape in pulp rags till my eyes turn buggy. I don’t claim any expertise in any subject other than the chase of my own earthly pleasures. I write to help others find their own pleasures so that together we will decay in spirit with these lesser pursuits.

“adidas is a perfect fit for me,” said Griffin III. “They are always focused on the athlete first and that’s important for the way I play and the way I train. I’m excited to be part of the adidas family.”

Beyond the football field, Griffin III was an Academic All-American and graduated early with a degree in Political Science.

“Robert Griffin III is an athlete first and we respect everything he brings to the game,” said David Baxter, vice president of Sport Performance for adidas America. “His team player mentality, strong leadership on and off the field and genuine character combined with explosive and dominant athleticism make him a perfect fit for our brand. He’s clearly a great football player but, importantly, he’s a great athlete.”

“Every year, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by millions of people all around the world as a special occasion infused with the true spirit of Ireland – it has become the perfect opportunity to get together with friends, raise a pint of Guinness responsibly and enjoy one of the greatest days of the year,” says Fergal Murray, Master Brewer of Guinness.

“Wherever you are and whoever you’re with this St. Patrick’s Day, Guinness is encouraging people of legal drinking age all around the globe to celebrate the best of the Irish by joining the campaign to make it officially ‘The Largest St. Patrick’s Day Celebration’ ever,” Murray continued.

To take part in setting this world record, fans of St. Patrick’s Day and Guinness-lovers alike can make an online pledge (via Facebook or www.Guinness.com) to responsibly enjoy a pint of the dark stuff this St. Patrick’s Day.

In order to successfully set the world record, on March 17, 2012, GWR adjudicators will be stationed at GUINNESS events around the globe to painstakingly count the number of people celebrating this famous day, while verifying online pledges to assess whether St. Patrick’s Day has achieved the records: Most pledges received for a campaign and the Largest St. Patrick’s Day Celebration.

If successful, GWR will officially confirm that GUINNESS hosted “The Largest St. Patrick’s Day Celebration” ever.

This is the first time that the GUINNESS and GWR brands have worked together in more than ten years. In 2001, GWR was sold by Diageo – the owner of GUINNESS.

To be a part of setting this GWR, legal drinking age consumers can go to www.Guinness.com or the official GUINNESS page on Facebook to pledge and receive a certificate for helping achieve “The Largest St. Patrick’s Day Celebration” this March.

By pledging, fans will also have the option to enter for the chance to win a trip for two to Dublin where they’ll be able to visit the Guinness Storehouse and attend Arthur’s Day concerts and festivities in September.

Join GUINNESS & Co. this year to make St. Patrick’s Day not only the largest, but also the best by celebrating with a pint and always remembering to drink responsibly.

“We support Lin and the Knicks. Anyone bringing their ticket stub after a Knick game will get complimentary admission here at the club,” said Rick’s Cabaret Girl Alex.

There is nothing I can do to change the past, and believe me, if I could, I would. That decision doesn’t represent who I am today. All I can do now is put the past behind me and move forward. I am sorry to disappoint any of my fans and my family at Zuffa. I love you guys :)

“Thank you to everyone for all of the love I have received. It is overwhelming to think about all of the supporters I have. #Truly Blessed”

Arianny Celeste still hasn’t tweeted a peep about her nude pics but you can catch them right here.

What is Xanax? – Xanax is a prescription medication for anxiety disorders (some outlets have incorrectly reported that it is an anti-depressant). It works by acting on GABA receptors, the “brakes” of the brain. It is part of the benzodiazepine class of medications and is in a larger group of medications commonly referred to as “downers” or “sedatives.”

While many people with anxiety disorders benefit from treatment with them, benzodiazepines have the potential to become addictive and can be abused. Drugs that people feel the effects of quickly and that leave the system quickly are more likely to be abused. Of the benzodiazepines, Xanax is one of the fastest acting and most potent.

Are all anxiety medications potentially addictive? – No. There are other kinds of medication for anxiety that affect the brain differently than Xanax and the other benzodiazepines.

Are drugs like Xanax dangerous? – All drugs have risks, which increase when they are not used as they should be. For example, overdoses of the commonly used over-the-counter drug Tylenol are the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S. Benzodiazepines like Xanax can put the brakes on the brain too much, particularly the part that controls breathing. When too high a dose of these medications is used, especially if they are combined with other substances that affect breathing – such as alcohol – breathing can become too slow or shallow or even stop completely. Per SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), over three quarters of benzodiazepine-related ER visits in 2002 involved at least two substances. Alcohol was by far the most common second substance. Doctors who prescribe these medications routinely warn patients not to drink alcohol while taking them. Medications like Xanax can often be used safely as long as they are used as prescribed.
