Some funny and not so funny news about beer

In yesterday's Age newspaper, it was reported that an Alice Springs man had buckled up his slab of beer but not his five-year-old son sitting next to it. Read it here. If it wasn't real, it'd be kinda amusing. It's not as it was Westvleteren 12 he was carrying.

The other article causing a stir in the beer industry relates to a speculated 300 per cent lift in tax on beer which could threaten the survival of the micro-brewing industry. It'll be interesting to see how that unfolds. At a time when good beer is increasingly finding a market, this would be a serious backward step.
