Here’s news making the rounds in the beer world:

-Officials at an Illinois high school are upset after someone slipped a photo of a girl holding a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon into the annual year book. It remains to be seen if they were more upset about the photo itself, or that someone was caught holding a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

-The NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets want beer taxed to help pay for their arena. The folks from Anheuser-Busch think that’s a bad idea. The Thirsty Beagle thinks putting a NHL hockey team in Columbus was a bad idea.

-Would you like a large beer to drink? Just win the German soccer league title. Yet another underrated aspect of professional soccer in Europe.

-Thanks to the dismal economy, beer drinkers who are loyal to a brand are buying less beer, or trading down to a cheaper brand, beer experts say.

-Here’s the story of a man who has spent years trying to perfect a robot that will bring him a beer.

-And lastly, (this one could fall in The Thirsty Beagle’s “Giving Beer a Bad Name” folder) a hearse driver in Bogota, Colombia, is in hot water after failing to deliver a body to a cemetery for several hours because he had stopped at a hotel for a beer.
