World Cup of Beer




Good article from nj.com, a reporter and some friends created a World Cup of beer They called it the "World Beer Cup", apparently not knowing that such a thing already exists.

Anyway, England, represented by Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale, beat Mexico's venerable Negra Modelo in the final. Considering how England faired in the actual football tournament, perhaps knowledge of this victory (and a pint or three of Sam Smiths) will help ease the pain.

One beer mentioned in this article that is well worth the effort to drink is Brazil's Xingu (pronounced SHIN-goo) Black Beer. It's hard to find, but really fantastic.
