W E F E E L U S E D - I N A G O O D W A Y Testimonials from satisfied Brewcrew users. "I
recommend getting a keg if you are having a party, even if it is
a BYOB. Having a keg at the party really got people in the mood.
The lager was lovely and cold, and the very act of pulling your
own beer was a talking point of its own. The
Beer Crew were great, delivering and then collecting the empty keg
with minimum fuss. I look forward to availing of your services again
in the future." "Another
great party and as usual the kegs went down a treat." "Excellent!!
Was a very efficient and professional service - a great idea and
I will be recommending it to friends. Obviously got the whole thing
sussed and very organised - great to see." "Kegs

[This site was brought to our attention by the guys at http://www.p45.net.] A S W E G O A R O U N D T H E B A R from http://www.realbeer.com ANHEUSER-BUSCH V. BUDVAR - THAT FAMOUS TRADEMARK DISPUTE Anheuser-Busch of the United States has won the latest round of the ongoing battle with the Czech beer known in some places as Budweiser Budvar. Last month, Stephen Burrows of Anheuser-Busch said that New Zealand's Court of Appeal reversed a High Court decision and ordered Budejovicky Budvar to stop importing, advertising, or selling beer under the Budweiser name. Burrows called the ruling "another significant victory" after it stopped Budvar from using the Budweiser name in Argentina, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Spain and most recently, Italy. Anheuser-Busch, which brews Budweiser and holds the trademark in New Zealand for the beer, claimed the Czech brewery violated the Trademarks Act and the Fair Trading Act by using the word "Budweiser" on its beer labels. The Czech beer, introduced to New Zealand in 1996 as Budejovicky Budvar, is also sold as Budweiser Budvar. Still confused? Us too. RUSSIAN BEER ADVERTISING CRACKDOWN The Russian legislature has voted to crack down on beer advertising, including prohibiting the use of images of people or animals and banning television commercials altogether between 5 and 10 p.m. Ignoring Kremlin opposition, the State Duma passed amendments to the law on advertising in the crucial second reading by a margin of 231 to 24. The measure must still pass a third reading, then be signed into law by President Vladimir Putin. In addition to the blanket ban on prime-time television, the amendments would also prohibit brewers from targeting teenagers and using famous people in their TV and radio campaigns. They would also make it illegal for an ad to suggest that beer can help people raise their social status, improve their physical or emotional condition, or quench thirst. P U B B O R E: T H I N G S T O K N O W A N D F O R G E T What is going on the Dublin City Seal? The City Seal shows the Three Castles as three watchtowers surrounding one of the gates in the medieval City Wall. Dublin is evidently under siege; from the central watchtower two sentries sound the alarm, while on each flanking watchtower stands an archer, poised with a cross-bow. The scene is symbolic of the readiness of the citizens to defend the city, and it was probably not intended to depict any actual event. With the passage of time, the three watchtowers became three separate castles, each one bearing three battlemented towers, as shown in the Coat-of-Arms. The sentries and archers were replaced by flames leaping from the towers on the castles. It is often mistakenly supposed that the Castles are on fire, but in fact the flames symbolise zeal; here they represent the zeal of the citizens in the defence of Dublin. Looking in more detail at the Coat-of-Arms, we see that the Three Castles are borne on a Shield which is supported by two female figures. To the left of the Shield is a figure representing Law, holding a Sword erect in one hand, and in the other an olive branch. To the right of the Shield is a figure representing Justice, likewise holding an olive branch in one hand, and in the other, a pair of Scales. At their feet beneath the Shield are groups of flowers, symbolising hope and joy. The Coat-of-Arms is completed by the city's motto in Latin which reads: "Obedientia Civium Urbis Felicitas". This may be translated: "Happy the city where citizens obey." Where would you get it?
