OK, this is only marginally beer-related (and almost surely not craft beer-related), but it is the best story of the day you will find that has some sort of connection to beer.
A jetBlue flight attendant upset because a passenger refused to apologize after accidentally striking him with luggage, allegedly spewed obscenities over the PA system, then activated and slid down a plane’s emergency chute before disappearing into a terminal at John F. Kennedy airport Monday, an airport official said.
JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh had taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, Gate C around noon Monday when flight attendant Steven Slater, 38, was struck in the head with luggage that a passenger was trying to unload from an overhead compartment, according to an airport official with knowledge of the incident.
Slater demanded an apology from the passenger, the official said, but the passenger refused. The two argued before the passenger told Slater to “f— off”, the official said. The official said that Slater then got on the plane’s PA system and directed that same obscenity at all the passengers and added that he especially meant it for the man who refused to apologize.
Slater is alleged to have then activated the plane’s inflatable emergency slide, grabbed two beers from the galley, then slid down the chute, the official said.
So now you have two people recommended by Barbeerians to invite to your next party. You’re welcome.
UPDATE: Sadly, TMZ is reporting that our hero, Mr. Slater, is no longer our hero. He–and I can barely say this without breaking out in tears–grabbed two Blue Moons before fleeing down the inflatable shoot. Sorry, Steven, but your 15 minutes of fame on BarBeerians are now officially over. UNINVITED FROM FUTURE PARTIES.

Last thing I knew, a flavorful IPA didn’t make your town smell like disease.
I’m clearly a fan of great names for beers, but this one might take the cake since it shares two of my greatest interests: creativity and well-placed vulgarity, something our European friends apparently have mastered.
A brief list of things I must know in this world: 1) When will Modest Mouse start making good music again? 2) When will I be able to write about beer for a living? 3) Will Michigan sports ever let me watch them without balling my eyes out and throwing the cat at the television? And 4) If Jesus were going to throw back a few at the bar, would he order Bud Light or something significantly better?
When I think of religion, I rarely think of beer. When I think of beer, I definitely don’t think of religion. However, one Bishop in Indiana is trying to change that with a rather unique approach: holding a “Theology on Tap” session at a local bar.
I’m not a fan of Starbucks. Not because it’s corporate or because
Now you can’t go and get beer at every Starbucks, but it’s an interesting choice for a company that is always looking to find new ways of making money. Between
