Hey kids, I hope everyone is having a good Craft Beer Week! Matt and I will be at the Oklahoma Craft Beer Fest on Saturday. If you find us, we’ll say hi to you. Enjoy this foamy goodness.

Slate - It seems like more and more, craft beer is about catering to people who like absurd amounts of hops in their beer. Lets get some malt up in this piece! (JK, I like hops and malt equally. Balance, son!)

KJRH Tulsa – Apparently, some assholes in Tulsa thought it would be cool to complain about beer being too strong at a local brew pub. I hate them.

Beer Street Journal – Speaking of restaurants, Red Lobster is finding new ways to make people sick. Chemical laces beer lines. Fancy! I personally can’t go to Red Lobster because I refuse to eat in places that smell like pee.

Washington Post – Did you hear that the National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) is trying to make the limit for drunk driving lower? Down to .05% from .08%. That’s like one beer. Even Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and AAA declined to endorse the change.

That’s it for this week. Talk to you Tuesday. And if you are having a hard time getting your beer open, maybe these guys can give you some ideas.

Everybody is working for the weekend, or so they say. Know what I’m working for? Beer money.

Enjoy this Friday Foam.

Bon Appetit – Did everyone have a good Cinco De Mayo? I didn’t really do much except watch basketball and drink these. I had about 14 of them.

Serious Eats – One of my favorite  food blogs is totally down with Prairie Artisan Ales! I knew we weren’t the only ones.

Time – SCANDAL!

Mashable - Remember the Old Spice guy? We’ll now he is impersonating President Obama in a Israeli beer commercial. Enjoy.

Buzzfeed – If anyone ever makes you feel bad about drinking, remember, some of the smartest people in history have been drinkers!

Holy crap! I totally forgot news last week. My schedule was off! Leave me alone!

Here is your Friday Foam.

Team Coco – Cinco de Mayo is going up. Conan’s prop guy has some tips on how to save money with your Cinco de Mayo party including some DIY Corona.

San Diego Magazine – Cribs, brewer style.

First We Feast – New Castle has gotten in to making weird commercials. I hope this beer is better than that Werewolf. That tasted winey.

Sam Adams – Boston Lager is in can! Can’t wait to smash one on my forehead! Classy.

Should I Drink This Fucking Beer? – Ever wonder if the beer you are about to drink is the best thing for you? Do you want to be insulted? Click that link over there. Probably NSFW

This has been a weird, shitty week. We hope everyone is safe and sound. Take some time this weekend and show your friends and family some love. We all deserve it.

Consumerist – Budweiser is testing the intelligence of it’s consumers. They are trying to see if people will drink out of this stupid bow tie-shaped can claiming that other cans are hard to hold.

Beer Pulse – Big Brew Day is May 4th! Every year, to celebrate National Homebrew day, the AHA (American Homebrewers Association) has a big brew day. Get together with your friends and brew up a big ol’ batch of beer!

The Drinks Business – So, the Japanese made an Elephant Dung Beer. I wish they wouldn’t do that, but I guess if it sells out like it did, people will still make this weird shit. More power to them I guess.

Tulsa World – HB1341 is currently sitting on Gov. Mary Fallin’s desk. All she has to do is sign it. Everyone, be nice to her so she’s in a good mood when she gets to her desk and then I can go tour every brewery in Oklahoma.

Gizmodo - This last one isn’t about beer but I couldn’t resist a post about Dippin Dots. Remember that shit?! Well, Gizmodo put out an article about how to make alcoholic Dippin Dots! Where can I get some liquid nitrogen?

Holy crap! Another week that once felt like it would never pass has finally come to an end. What are you going to do this weekend? I’m going to drink beer! Here’s your news.

Wired.com – Wired dot com is great. You can learn all sorts of neat shit. Like how green bottles are no one’s friend.

Brewers Association – If you drink Bud Miller or Coors beers, you are not alone. However, craft beer reached a whopping 6% of the market share last year. And that was a record! Srlsy, make your friends and family drink better beer. Here are the top Breweries of 2012.

National Post – Brewing is dangerous! There is a bunch of hot ass water and apparently you can breath toxic fumes while cleaning the tanks and DIE! My heart goes out to those seven Mexicans working for Corona.

Mirror.co.uk – Speaking of people who passed recently, some dude found the holy Margaret Thatcher in a homebrew cap!

BBC News – You know how there are fans of teams like the Raiders and the Pistons? Teams that are known for being the bad guys? Well, that’s how I feel about the United States of America. She’s pretty rough around the edges and full of some of the worst people in the world, but I love her. Now we have one more reason to be proud. Our craft breweries are inspiring British breweries to be more creative. Can’t wait to see what they do.
