Diageo Offers Guinness The 1759 Ale - Yahoo Finance
Brew York City is a draft beer bar where you can fill up your eco-friendly 32-ounce growler for $5.99 or go all out with 64 ounces for $6.99. That's not unusual, but the location is: inside a Duane Reade drug store at 75th Street and Broadway. The draft beer menu ranges from the mellow Ithaca Flower Power to the potent Brooklyn Blast. The snacks are nearby, right on the way to the cash register. Regulars say it's a no-brainer. Only four Duane Reade stores in the city have the Brew York City beer bars: two on the Upper West Side, one in Union Square, and one in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Marketing expert Adam Hanft says these locations make sense when you consider the target customer: young, hipster types who like trendy retro things. He says even the name they give the jug -- growler -- was lifted from history for authenticity. He says the overall plan is to stay a step ahead in the super-competitive pharmacy industry. Another feature customers like: you can get a refill almost 24/7 -- except for a few hours early Sunday morning, when New York prohibits alcohol sales.

Police say 49-year-old Russell Miller was charged Friday with impersonating a public servant. They say the Karns City man confessed to telling at least four businesses he was Stephen Zappala or a member of his staff. They say Miller drove a car that looked like an unmarked police vehicle and told employees at two stores they hadn't given him all the products he purchased. They say he got away with $40 worth of pizza and a case of suds. Police have offered to reimburse the businesses for their losses. A spokesman says the real Zappala knows about the imposter but won't comment. Information on Miller's lawyer wasn't immediately available. The Associated Press

Complete Analysis: Martinsville - Yahoo Sports
Almost 300 volunteers went to Brazil They're building a complex for a program serving kids from poor areas just outside Curitiba, Brazil Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2014 CNN Heroes Curitiba, Brazil (CNN) -- More than any single soccer player, the fans have taken center stage during the World Cup. For the last month, each team's devotees have donned their country's colors, painted their faces, shouted their songs, rejoiced in their victories and cried bitter tears of defeat. "Whether you're in a host city or back at home watching it on T.V. ... it captures you," said Jon Burns, a lifelong fan of English football. "I just love the passion." Burns has made it his mission to turn that fan fervor into something more. His UK-based nonprofit, Lionsraw , mobilizes soccer fans to volunteer in cities hosting the World Cup and other major tournaments. Volunteers have helped nearly 6,000 kids through soccer clinics, educational programs and construction projects. "We do football tours with a difference," said Burns, 48. "They get to watch games, drink beer in a bar ... but for a huge chunk of our time, we go out to people in need." It's an idea that struck Burns nearly 10 years ago, while sitting in a packed stadium during a game. "I suddenly saw all the fans around me and ... it was like an untapped army," he said. "And I started asking myself, 'What could I do if we could mobilize some of these people to do some good?'" Since 2006, Burns' group has enlisted more than 500 volunteers to work on construction projects, educational programs and soccer clinics that have helped nearly 6,000 children. "Football's always had the ability to break down barriers," he said. "We're taking it a step further." Giving back in Brazil Last month, Burns and his team brought almost 300 volunteers to Curitiba, one of the 12 host cities for this year's World Cup. The group's main project was constructing an education complex for Futebol de Rua, an after-school program that serves children from poor areas just outside the city center. Oscar Muxfeldt Neto, one of the program's founders, could not believe it when Burns offered in 2012 to help his organization. "To come and to do this for us, for the children ... it is still a dream, you know?" he said. "This is the World Cup spirit." The facility -- where academic tutoring, soccer instruction, art and music classes will be provided to more than 500 at-risk youth -- should be up and running by the end of the year. Burns and his volunteers will return there to teach English and coach soccer for years to come. "When we invest in a place, it's not for a project. It's for the long-term," Burns said. "The World Cup is just the first step into a country. It's a launchpad for us." Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2014 CNN Heroes Like many countries that have hosted major sporting events, Brazil has seen protests during the past year about the estimated $11 billion spent on projects that have not necessarily improved the country's public services. While Burns makes a point to avoid politics, he believes his work helps communities that have not benefited economically from the games. "We try to create opportunities for the local people," Burns said. "We're not here to save anybody or solve anything. We're here to do our bit." Igniting a passion While Burns wants to assist those in need, he's also hoping that giving back sparks something deeper within his volunteers, many of whom have never done anything like this before. When we invest in a place, it's not for a project. It's for the long-term. The World Cup is just the first step into a country. It's a launchpad for us. Jon Burns Volunteers from 12 countries came to Brazil to work with Lionsraw; most are from the UK, France, Australia and the United States. Burns finds that a shared love of soccer gives them an instant bond that gets stronger as they work toward a common goal. "Within a couple days, they're just part of a team. And it's a tight team. There's a lot of fun, a lot of joking, and guys become friends for life," he said.

Draft beer to go from Duane Reade - New York News
After watching this video, you might agree whether or not you like dogs. In the video, you see the dog sitting in front of his or her owner, as patient as can be, until the owner says, Bandit, Im parched. Thats when the magic happens. Bandit walks over to the fridge, opens the door, grabs a cold one, closes the door and delivers the beer. Now that is talent.

Gretz Beer Company Sets A New Standard for Energy-Intelligent Distribution Centers with... -- WAYNE, Pa., Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
and Europe, brewers around the world are leaving no stone unturned to attract traffic to their stores and boost sales. Likewise, U.K.-based brewer Diageo plc ( DEO ) has also undertaken several strategic initiatives to maintain the top line at a decent level, after witnessing sluggish revenue due to volume declines in its key markets in the past couple of years. Recently, Diageo introduced an amber ale variation under the beer category called Guinness The 1759. It is an ultra-premium beer brewed with traditional beer malt and superior-quality peated whisky malt with a rich butterscotch aroma and a fruity sweetness. The new amber ale variation, limited-edition beer will be available in select bars as well as online at www.reservebars.com starting from late-October. Only 90,000 bottles each of 25.4 oz. have been brewed and will be offered at a suggested retail price of $34.99. Like Diageo, innovation has always been an important growth strategy for brewers like Molson Coors Brewing Company ( TAP ), Constellation Brands Inc. ( STZ ) and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV ( BUD ). Earlier this month, Diageo introduced a sour variation in the vodka category called SMIRNOFF Sours. Back in June, Diageo announced a third variant of Orphan Barrel the Rhetoric Whiskey. It is limited edition craft bourbon, which will be released over the years after the completion of the ageing process. The 20-year old variant is scheduled to release this year, while the 21-year old variant will come up in the next. Older variants will be released gradually. Diageo, owner of brands such as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff and Guinness, has also been exploring opportunities to expand geographically through acquisitions. The introduction of new products will boost the companys top line in the near future.

Man Teaches Dog To Fetch Him A Beer [VIDEO] « CBS Detroit
18. Cole Whitt , No. 26 Toyota, BK Racing Partly due to the overwhelming success of Kyle Larson and the hype around Austin Dillon , Cole Whitt hasn't gotten the attention he deserves in 2014. The rookie has shown marked improvement over the course of the season and finished inside the top 20 for consecutive races for the first time this season via his 18th-place Martinsville result. 19. Landon Cassill , No. 40 Chevrolet, Hillman Racing While it's unlikely another one of his fans will get a tattoo to commemorate his 19th-place Martinsville finish like one did after his top-five at Talladega, Landon Cassill matched his career-best "Paperclip" finish in nine races. 20. Carl Edwards , No. 99 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing Given how many of the remaining Chase drivers finished inside the top 10, Carl Edwards ' 20th-place finish could've been a lot worse had Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick not imploded and scored 31st and 33rd-place finishes, respectively. The Roush Fenway Racing driver battled grip and water temperature issues all day and ended up being involved in Keselowski's wreck on Lap 436, but remains in the Chase hunt because of his slight recovery. 21. Aric Almirola , No. 43 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports Proof that the new Chase format is doing its job: Aric Almirola , who made the Chase via his July Daytona win and was knocked out almost immediately when he blew an engine in the opener at Chicago, has averaged a finish of 26.9 in the seven postseason races thus far. This team made plenty of improvements this year, but it's clear they aren't ready for the big stage yet. 22. David Gilliland , No. 38 Ford, Front Row Motorsports With no top-10s under his belt in 2014 and only eight to his name in his career, it'd be irresponsible to expect one to come at Martinsville for the veteran driver, given that his career average finish is 29.6. Still, a 22nd-place result is better than he's been, and he improved on his spring finish by four spots. 23. Marcos Ambrose , No. 9 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports Marcos Ambrose had a quiet race until he and Kyle Larson got into each other with 11 laps to go, sending both drivers sideways into the wall. It's possible that Larson was protecting his teammate, Jamie McMurray , as the No. 9 and No. 1 were beating and banging mere seconds before this happened, but it isn't the kind of race a driver bowing out of the sport in three weeks was looking to have. 24. Michael Annett , No. 7 Chevrolet, Tommy Baldwin Racing There was a five-race stretch in the middle of the season in which Michael Annett seemed to be closer to "getting it", when he averaged a finish of 22.0. It was respectable for a rookie, but he hasn't shown much since then. Perhaps his 24th-place showing at Martinsville will kick off a strong finish to his 2014 campaign. 25. Josh Wise , No. 98 Chevrolet, Phil Parsons Racing Josh Wise has run more laps at Martinsville -- 2,103 -- than any other track on the circuit, and it shows. The 2014 All-Star has steadily improved his finishing position at the short track since his 2012 debut there, culminating in Sunday's top-25. 26. Mike Wallace , No. 49 Toyota, Jay Robinson Racing Mike Wallace ran back-to-back races for just the second time this season and it resulted in his best race of the year. After starting dead last, Wallace marched through the field for his best cup finish since 2007. 27. Brian Vickers , No. 55 Toyota, Michael Waltrip Racing Brian Vickers had an entertaining race. He traded shots back and forth with Kasey Kahne , at times blaming his car ("The car just went straight when I got down to (Turn) 1. Be sure and check that splitter. Something has to be wrong.) but then later wanting to take part in the melee, saying "Alright, we owe him another. We can do this all day long." Get more driver audio with RaceView 28. Kyle Fowler , No. 32 GO FAS Racing Ford For a driver making his Sprint Cup Series debut, Martinsville is no easy task. It showed on Lap 75, when the 22-year-old spun and drew a caution. Still, he battled hard all day to recover for a respectable 28th-place showing. 29. Alex Bowman , No. 23 Toyota, BK Racing Alex Bowman had a really difficult race from the get-go. He spun on Lap 5, making contact with Aric Almirola and later crunched his hood on Lap 207 when traffic in front of him stopped abruptly. To make matters worse, he couldn't even unwind the way he wanted to, tweeting, "So to top today off they're holding the driver owner lot for an hour. Which means missing the walking dead tonight." 30. Kyle Larson , No. 42 Chevrolet, Chip Ganassi Racing It's clear that Kyle Larson will need to make one of his priorities over the offseason focusing on short track racing, because Martinsville always seems to eat up the otherwise super-talented rookie. He was involved in a bad wreck with 11 to go after he tangled with Marcos Ambrose and has yet to finish better than 27th in three races. 31. Brad Keselowski , No. 2 Ford, Team Penske Brad Keselowksi must like racing as the Chase underdog, because he didn't do himself any favors at Martinsville. His No. 2 started running hot on Lap 95, then he was caught speeding on Lap 163, and finally lost an axel on Lap 436, causing the biggest wreck of the day. At one point, team owner Roger Penske chimed in, "Lot of time. You'll be fine." He wasn't. 32. Jimmie Johnson , No. 48 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports It's a good thing for the No. 48 team that they were eliminated last week at Talladega, because otherwise they'd be in a serious hole right now. Johnson's race was bad the whole way through, saying in the early going, "Weird vibration in the front. Feels like maybe some rubber on the tire that won't come off. Might be a loose left-front. Getting worse." He later ran into Casey Mears , prompting a testy crew chief Chad Knaus to say "Try not to run into anything else. The HMS ride was later leaking oil and limped to the garage for a poor finish. Get more driver audio with RaceView 33. Kevin Harvick , No. 4 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing Luckily for Kevin Harvick , he's magnificent at Phoenix and should contend for the win there. For now, Martinsville presented a nightmare race for the SHR driver, getting into a mess with Matt Kenseth that sent him to the garage with damage and a faulty oil cooler and radiator. He came back out around Lap 268, but it was too late.
