This just in: Facebook users like crappy, crappy beer.

According to a report in the Sun, more than two million Facebook users voted in an independent poll about their favorite beer. They chose Corona as number one. Corona!

The top five beers were: 1. Corona Extra, 645,445 votes; 2. Heineken, 594,475 votes; 3. Guinness Draught, 396,276 votes; 4. Stella Artois, 350,825 votes; 5. Budweiser, 343,493 votes.

Now, Corona’s a fine beer, and is more than passable with a bit of lime. Heineken out of the mini-keg is pretty tasty, and Guinness is a solid brand. Stella Artois and Budweiser clearly made this list just because of their high sales volume and brand visibility.

Don’t feel bad if your favorite beer just so happens to be one of the world’s most over-brewed varieties. But any drinker will tell you that the world of beer has many more treasures than these five big brands.

Flyin' high on that fake MGD.

You just kind of take it for granted that if you order a Coors and watch the bartender pour a glass from a tap marked Coors that you’re going to be drinking a Coors. Turns out that at a New Jersey casino, you’d be wrong.

According to a report from lookingfit.com, the casino was fined after connecting both their MGD and Miller Lite taps to kegs of Miller Lite. They’d done the same with Coors on another occasion.

Shame on them. How much could they possibly be saving?

I’m also curious as to who called them on the switch-er-roo. Don’t tell me there’s someone out there who can honestly detect a significant difference between Coors and Coors Light.

Some people will swear this this recipe for a Chocolate Cake Shot tastes just like a slice of a double-decker devil’s food cake. I wouldn’t got that far, but it’s definitely chocolatey and delicious.

CHOCOLATE CAKE SHOT

3/4 oz Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur

3/4 oz vodka

sugar

lemon wedge

Shake Frangelico and vodka over ice and pour into shot glass. Garnish with a sugar-coated lemon wedge.

This shot should be done like a tequila shot (shoot and then suck the lemon immediately) to get the best combinations of flavors.

While filming a scene for ‘How Do You Know?’, actor Paul Rudd had a close call in the streets of Washington D.C., according to a completely unfounded piece of gossip on fashion.ie. The actor was holding a six pack of Guinness at the time.

All reports say that the stout is doing just fine. Oh yeah, Paul Rudd’s fine, too.

No information could be found on whether or not beer would take Rudd from the level of ‘moderately entertaining and not bad-looking’ to ‘actually talented.’

The boozebuzz is always interested in cultural diversity, and I’m leery of drinkers who insist that there are no quality beers coming out of Asia. In the interest of proving them wrong, I drank a Sapporo Premium Beer, only to have the brew let me down again.

The Sapporo poured a pale straw color with a decent foamy head. It appeared a bit watery. There were some faint but nice floral notes on the nose standing against a background of a cheap beer smell. You can actually smell the alcohol on this beer.

The taste of Sapporo Premium Beer can best be described as mild. There are some hops and a distinct malted rice character. There’s just not a lot to taste. The body is very watery, which would normally make it seem drinkable, but there is an aftertaste of alcohol.

This beer isn’t that bad… a few steps behind a Budweiser, sure. But don’t be tempted to order one, even if you think it will match your sushi.

Maybe you had your first beer with your dad. Maybe you didn’t. Either way, have the first one of the day today with him.

TOP TEN REASONS TO DRINK ON FATHER’S DAY

10. He might buy.

9. Beer leads to stories about the ‘good old days.’

8. We drank for Mother’s Day.

7. Dad might offer to show you how to ‘really’ drink a beer.

6. Trust me, you owe it to him.

5. No father/son or father/daughter moment is quite as good without a beer.

4. Anyone can be father. It takes a man to be a dad.

3. Start an annual Father’s Day Beer Race.

2. He has enough ties. Get him a bottle of Four Roses Yellow Label Bourbon.

1. Dad would want you to.

The boozebuzz wishes a good day to all the dads and grand-dads out there.

For as many people attesting that the Godfather might be the best movie of all time, there are drinkers lauding Francis Ford Coppola’s line of wines. Now the Hollywood legend has combined his pursuits in an upfront, in-your-face challenge to drinkers.

In a recent interview with the LA Times, Coppola said “everyone who buys a bottle of [Coppola] wine is a participating producer of my movie.” So THAT’s the easy way to make it in movies! And I’ve been taking my shirt off all this time!

FFC is already good at movies and wine. Maybe he should leave sales pitches to the professionals.

For the uninitiated, a shandy is a beer that’s made or mixed with ginger ale, soda or lemonade. I’m personally familiar with a couple of lemonade versions, and carefully grant them the boozebuzz seal of approval.

I was at McCoy’s in Kansas City last weekend and sampled their Ginger Shandy and found it both tasty and a full beer. But I had to ask myself… is a drink this girly-tasting authentic enough to be a quality beverage?

Shandies are relatively rare and there’s not many people weighing in on the issue. I’d say that the field is a lot like any other sort of beer… done right, it’s a hand-crafted piece of art. Done wrong, it’s on the level of cheap wine coolers.

If you’re interested in checking one out, Leinenkugel’s makes a fair one. And, as always, if you like the way it tastes and you still feel good about it the next day, there’s no danger in counting yourself as a fan.

As if drugs and prostitutes weren’t enough, tourists have spurred another dangerous industry in Amsterdam: the Beerbike. The Beerbike is a mobile bar powered by up to 22 passengers that usually also seats dozens of liters of beer.

But according to a report from the LA Times, city officials are trying to do away with the boozer cruisers because of two recent accidents. You can imagine what a fairly large group of drunks and an over-sized bicycle can do to traffic.

A two-hour ride on the bike costs about $34, beer included. Hopefully Beerbikers will prevail in a dispute with officials, but if they don’t, there’s plenty left to keep them occupied in Amsterdam.
