Slooow Beer drinking
Yona Yona Brewing wants special people to enjoy their beer. For many people, summer means beer. That’s certainly how our SORA News reporter Ahiruneko sees it, and it’s not uncommon for him to pour a cold one after work most days to feel refreshed in the summer heat. So when he received a package from YO-HO Brewing, the makers of Japanese craft beer Yona Yona Ale, he was thrilled to see it contained a beautiful-looking beer glass, with a very unusual shape. Yona Yona Ale’s brewer purposely takes the enjoyment out of drinking. It’s called the “Yukkuri Beer Glass” (“Slowly Beer Glass”) in Japanese, or “The Slow Pace Glass” in English. Inspired by an hourglass, Yona Yona Ale created this special piece of glassware to make it difficult to drink from. While that might seem counterintuitive to the whole drinking experience, it’s actually designed to benefit your health, because drinking slowly gives your liver time to process the alcohol effectively, which in turn reduces liver damage.
As a frequent beer drinker, that sounded like good news to Ahiruneko, so he wasted no time in pouring himself a can of ale. While we say he wasted no time in pouring the ale, it took its sweet time to fill the glass, because the liquid dripped to the bottom at the speed of an hourglass. Feeling like an impatient driver sitting behind a car going 25 miles an hour on the highway, Ahiruneko decided to embrace the slow life, patiently putting the brakes on his desires and sitting back to admire the beautiful, vivid amber color of the brew before him. As he sipped, he was surprised to find that the glass wasn’t hard to drink from at all. It was perfectly normal, making him wonder what was meant to be so difficult about it. However, after polishing off the beer in the top section, he immediately felt foolish, because no matter how far he tipped the glass back, he was barely able to get a drop out of it. Ahiruneko could hardly believe what he was experiencing. While the glass wasn’t impossible to drink from, it made things incredibly difficult, with the narrow section in the middle releasing the liquid in tiny trickles. The narrow path for the beer has been carefully designed and hand-blown to the exact diameter to control the flow of liquid.
At first, the glass was a novelty to drink from, but after a while it felt brutal. Even turning the glass upside down didn’t do anything to increase the flow, and Ahiruneko says it took him about three times longer than usual to finish the whole beer. As a result, the aspects that usually play a big part of the joy of drinking, such as the smooth feel of the liquid going down the gullet and the sense of strong refreshment, were completely eliminated. According to Ahiruneko, the glass is like something you’d use in a punishment game, and he says it’d probably be more satisfying to drink the beer straight from the can.
Have a beer jokes
The girl I brought home last weekend didn’t seem impressed by my collection of beer commercials.
Apparently, she’d misunderstood when I told her I had six-pack ads
A fellow goes into a pub and says to the bartender, “One beer please.”
.The barman replies, “100 euro.”
“Wow!” the man says. “Why is it so expensive? It was 10 euro before.”
The barman explains, “50 euro for Ukraine , 30 euro new cost of logistics, 10 euro new price of electricity, and 10 euro for the beer.”
“OK.“ the man says as he hands 100 euro to the barman. The barman gave him 10 euro back.
The man asks, “What’s this for?”
The barman replies, “No beer.”
My wife crashed the car again today. She told the police the man she collided with was on his mobile phone and drinking a can of beer.
Police said he can do what he likes in his own living room.
Bud light has always been trans…
It’s water that identifies as beer.
