Beer so Good, You'll Thank Yourself!

"Is It Almost Father's Day?" Edition

The "Beer" Gap

According to the American Homebrewers Association, there are approximately one million hobby beermakers in the U.S. That seems like a lot until you consider that there are about 60 million adult, beer-drinking men in America. It just breaks our hearts to think that there are nearly 59 million beer drinkers out there who haven't discovered the joy of making their own beer with an everything-in-one box Coopers Microbrewery Kit.

For the next two weeks, we at Makebeer.net are going to do our part to help close this gap. Order a Coopers Microbrewery Kit between now and June 15th and get free ground shipping on your order (only applies to the 48 contiguous states). Use promo code FREESHIP at checkout. Go ahead and throw another batch of ingredients for you on the order and save some dough. What better time than right now to get a beermaking kit for someone for Father's Day?

Sixty million adult, beer-drinking men. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are about 60 million fathers in America. Coincidence? We think not.

Cheers,

Mexican Cerveza Concentrate Kit$25.99

Mexico is known for its arid lands, dusty conditions and oppressive heat. So it’s not surprising that the people of Mexico are experts at quenching a thirst. Coopers Mexican Cerveza (beer) emulates the style of the finest quality beers exported from Mexico. This premium beer is light in style with a fresh clean taste, ideally served ice-cold with a wedge of lime or lemon. Get the package, including Brew Enhancer 2 and Coopers Carbonation Drops. The price of the package is $25.99, an additional $3.00 savings.

Add a slice of lime and think "Cabo"

We'll admit it...we love Baja. The whole beach, warm weather, sand-in-toes, no hurricanes, Sammy Hagar thing. We're not completely sold on the lime beer thing that Bud and Miller are doing...but there is a place for a nice, light, cold one with a chunk of fruit in it. And that place is Baja. Maybe we are splitting hairs....well since at least one of us is bald, probably not.

Here is a salsa recipe that we think works very well with our Mexican Cerveza beer. It's not particularly hot, but it is tasty. Put some on a tortilla chip and wash it down with a Coopers Cerveza that has a hunk of lime in it. Now there's a food-beverage match made in heaven...or Baja.
