Drink Beer, Win a Trip to Space
Space.com - 2009 July 2

The company behind the dark Irish beer Guinness will give loyal drinkers a taste of space along with their stout, but only if they win new contest.

Guinness has reserved a seat aboard a suborbital Virgin Galactic spaceliner as one of three experience prizes in an online contest honoring the 250th birthday of the beer's brewery this year.

A contest most of us can enjoy. Good luck to you all.

A wonderful drink you might be interested in trying is a Crown Float .. first half-fill a large glass with good Cyder, then pop a can of Guiness and 'float' the Guiness atop the Cyder. This is one of my favourite drinks .. wonderfully changing wonderful tastes as the different specific gravities mingle wonderfully in differing amounts; and the drink, on me, acts as a wonderful liver/kidney/uric (What! Am I a Doctor?) cleanser.
