There we have a true bartender personality, and a hedonist attitude. Only Bartenders can say these things and talk this way. Really.

Interesting Beer Facts
There are a lot of interesting facts about fermented drinks since the times they originated and throughout history.
Those are the interesting ones of Beer:
-People in Babylon had 16 types of beer and it was 7.000 yrs B.C. but the first written trails of beer production are on the clay tiles, made 6.000 years B.C.(Sumer)
-The oldest picture showing people drinking beer comes from Egypt and it was made 3.400 years B.C.
-Ben Franklin said, “Beer is proof that God loves us.”
-Zythology (zith-owl-oh-gee) is the study of beer and beer making, including the role that particular ingredients play in the brewing process.
-The oldest written recipes ever discovered by human beings are for making beer – written on stone tablets over 5000 years ago in the form of songs.
-The oldest beer ad on a clay table – recorded about 4000 BC adorned with a large breasted woman holding 2 goblets and inscribed with the caption, “Drink Elba Beer – the beer with the heart of a lion.”
-The first professional brewers were women.
-Hops used in brewing beer are in the same family of flowering plants as marijuana.
-2000 BC – the first recorded drunk driving accident. In ancient Egypt, an inebriated charioteer is apprehended after running down a vestal virgin of the goddess Hathor. The culprit is crucified on the door of the tavern that sold him the beer, and his corpse allowed to hang there until scavengers reduce it to bones.
-Beer gone bad. When British brewers tried to send their pale ales over to India, the beer would go bad during the long ocean voyage. Beer makes began to add extra alcohol and hops to help with the preservation. This inadvertently created a new style of extra bitter, extra powerful beers called India Pale Ales or IPA’s.

What is Sambuca? How it's made
An italian liqueur. It is as strong as vodka or whisky (37.5%) but is easier to drink due to its sweetness which masks the taste of the alcohol. It tastes like aniseed or liquorice and comes in several varieties and colours, including white sambuca (which is actually clear), black sambuca(which is more like a dark purple) and red sambuca (which is actually red).
It originates from a region of Italy around Rome. Civitavecchia, a famous port near Rome has some of the famous Sambuca producers, but nowdays it is being produced all over Italy majorly.
Contemporary mixology bars and the market in general are asking for constant inovation, so some of the Sambuca producers have launched many other styles of Sambuca liqueur that are primarily infused with angelica,

What is IPA Beer
There is a beer that is ever more popular in America recent years. It is growing in popularity and getting more diverse in styles. Love them or hate them, IPAs are growing in popularity, at least according to yearly data compiled by the Brewers Association (those lovable rapscallions). In addition to letting us know that sales of IPAs have increased by 47% in volume, the trade group has released some promising stats concerning the rest of the craft beer industry -- a whopping 1.5 breweries are opening in America every single day, and there are now over 3,200 brewers total across the country.
SAVOR THE FLAVOR | The IPA style of beer has a whole lot going for it. First and foremost is taste, which some could argue is an acquired one. The flavor of IPA beer highlights the complex and varied results that can be achieved through hops and other beer ingredient staples. The pronounced and unique flavor profile of IPA allows for a better understanding of brewing beer in general as hops and malts are often identified individually. We truly hope our database will help with the taste discovery process of the thousands of IPAs currently offered.
