Barbecue Receptions Call For Wedding Shot Glasses or Beer Glasses (beer)
No commentsBy vikram kumar
If youre a bride whose favorite song is Honky Tonk Woman and if your bridal toast is more likely to be Jack Daniels than champagne, wedding shot glasses may be just the right wedding favors for your celebration. You can have your names and wedding date imprinted on the glasses and your guests can keep them to remember your special day. And, down the road, they are probably likely to see more use than champagne flutes or some other wedding favor.
If your budget doesn’t allow for free-flowing Jack Daniels or Jim Beam, printed beer glasses are a great alternate option. Like the wedding shot glasses, these can have your wedding information permanently printed on them. There are lots of styles of custom printed beer glasses and beer mugs from which to choose from.
What kind of barbecue would it be without beer? No doubt you’ll need at least a keg, maybe two. Custom printed beer glasses are a lot nicer than printed plastic cups, and (just ask the guys) the beer really does taste better in glasses. In addition, it better for the environment as well. Your guests will enjoy filling up at the keg and drinking from their keepsake glasses. You may want to have some extras printed, as some of your special guests may insist on taking home a complete set.
Weddings should suit the style of the bride and groom. Not all weddings have to be stiff, formal affairs. The bride can still wear a beautiful gown, even if the guests are comfortable in their blue jeans. Informal weddings are a lot of fun and usually don’t involve as much stress (or expense) for the bride as fancy formal affairs.
Also, if your reception is outdoors, you won’t have to order flowers or fancy center pieces, you can just enjoy Mother Nature.
Chances are that a bride who plans this type of wedding is not a big fan of champagne. There’s no point in having a champagne toast if your guests are going to take a token sip and throw the rest away. If your guests prefer bourbon, serve it to them in personalized wedding shot glasses. You might want to set out the printed beer glasses too though; things could get really rowdy if all of the guests are downing straight bourbon all night.
Don’t let anyone call you redneck just because you don’t like champagne. In fact, most people you ask prefer other drinks to champagne, but at events they just drink it for traditions sake. Youll find that for many of your guests, a reception with wedding shot glasses or beer glasses is the perfect reception. At least nobody’s drinking from the bottle. Also, kegs are cheaper than bottles and the beer is better.
If you are more interested in showing your guests a great time, rather than in impressing the Joneses, a barbecue is a great way to have fun with your friends and neighbors. There is also the fact that it won’t cost as much as a down payment on a house. (and the house is probably a better investment). You should enjoy your wedding, not stress out over it. Hopefully, it’s a once in a lifetime affair.
If you’d like to get printed wedding shot glasses or custom beer glasses for your reception, you can find them through party planners or at online retailers. Look for companies that are established and have good customer reviews. Just because you chose beer over champagne doesn’t mean you don’t want your wedding to be perfect.

Brewing Flavoured Beer - A Change Once In A While
By Luke Porter
Everyone who loves beer has their own preferences as to the best brands and the best tastes. Some of the most popular beers in the world are unique-tasting brands which are recognisable to all and have a legion of fans who enjoy them. there are many people who feel however that the readily available brands lack a certain something. The range of different lagers which are popular with millions are considered bland by many, who term them as being almost like water.
When brewing your own beer, you could make a near replica of any one of the bottled or canned brands available in stores. You could, however, go for something a little different. There is such a wide range of different tastes that you can go for. There is practically no limit to what you can do with the right ingredients, in fact. However, it should be remembered that just because you can do something, it does not mean you should. You could, theoretically, make a beer that tastes of just about anything, but some of them will taste horrific. Brewing flavoured beer is as much about restraint as it is imagination.
For example, it is possible to brew beer to taste like chocolate. It is entirely possible to brew very good chocolate beer, but many people make the mistake of looking at the recipe, thinking “that would be great with a little bit more chocolate” and amending the recipe only to find themselves with a frankly sickly brew that tastes more like sour chocolate soup than anything else. You can buy chocolate malt to achieve a result that tastes enough like chocolate and enough like beer to suit all palates.
The importance of restraint in brewing flavoured beer is crucial. As there is a lot of fun to be had trying out different flavours, you will be hard pressed to find something that you cannot make into a beer. You could, theoretically, make a beer that tastes like cheese, but it would be horrible. It is also worth remembering that adding a product to the brewing process does not mean that the beer will taste like that item. Sometimes it is worth adding a flavouring that tastes like the intended product rather than adding the product itself.
Whatever you do it is important to recognize that just because you like chocolate and you like beer, it doesn’t mean that you will like chocolate beer. By all means experiment with different flavourings, but try to get the right balance of difference and quality. A fruit-flavoured beer is a good place to start, but do not make the mistake of thinking that because the fruit itself is an organic ingredient that it should be added unrefined. Brewing flavoured beers depends on getting the results whatever it takes. It’s not cheating to add extract of fruit to get a fruit flavour When it comes down to it, remember that there is a limit to what you should do, and work happily within that limit.
