The Breakfast Club prides itself on being up to date on sophistication and the finer things in life and because of that, I have an obligation to share the latest in the world of craft beer. There is a beer that is about to take the nation by storm and it is called Shower Beer. Created by PangPang, a one man Swedish Brewery, Shower Beer was designed specifically to be consumed while taking a shower. The beer is heavy on hops with a citrussy, soapy, and herbal profile. Founder/brewer, Fredrik Tunedal, has commented "the idea for a Shower Beer is a universal thing. Looking through the hashtag #showerbeer, it's easy to see that people all over the world love that feeling of a hot shower and an ice cold beer." He was not the first to come up with the concept of drinking a beer while taking a shower, however, he may be the first to brew a beer specifically for drinking while taking a shower. Shower Beer is distributed in 6 oz bottles and has a 10% ABV(Alcohol by Volume); the perfect size for a 10 minute shower. But, there is more...the beer recipe was designed to be used as a conditioner as well. Am I the only one who is thinking of the word "Genius"? Why would someone want to drink a beer in the shower?...you may ask?
- Save time
- Shower, beer, pee all in one
- Stimulate a little romance while showering with a friend
- Brings a little excitement to an otherwise boring task
- All great stories always start with a beer(have you ever heard of a great story starting with a salad?)
If anyone reading this blog has any selfies of drinking beer in the shower, you may forward them to me and I will include them in a future blog.
I would like to point out that generations of Bauer's have been drinking beer in the shower for centuries...dating way back to the Bauer clan in Bavaria.

Steve B. - Happy Birthday! It's not often I find myself down your end of the table like I did this past Saturday but, it was exciting to talk to another hard core conservative. Discussions down your end of the table seem to be a bit more cerebral. The great Ted Bruchalski from Don Bosco would be proud of us.
Brother Al - It's a joy to have you back in New Jersey for a while. I know you must anguish over the decision to stay down in Florida during winter or come back to New Jersey and spend time with the Breakfast Club. We always have a seat waiting for you. I found our conversation regarding stretching, yoga, and health to be very helpful. You set the standard in the Breakfast Club for all things having to do with health........and Brooklyn...the borough that is.
Say the word Jim if you need a partner in the ginseng farm you were talking about. Retirement is still a good many years away but this may be the job I need to bridge the gap. I sure don't mind getting my hands dirty and I know you don't mind slopping around in the mud.
Can somebody please explain to me why a painting depicting the tragedy that unfolded in Ferguson, MO, which portrays policeman as pigs, is hanging in the Capital building? Don't tell me it's a first amendment issue either. Nobody wants to legislate what art people produce but the first amendment does not give license to hang vile, offensive and hurtful art that fails to depict history in our nation's capitol. Our own Attorney General and Justice Department stated "the facts do not support the filing of criminal charges" against the officer in question. This painting does not reflect reality. In the same way, it would not be acceptable to hang a painting making a mockery of the Holocaust or slavery. Shouldn't Washington be making an effort to improve race relations in America? I am finding myself asking "what am I missing here" so often lately.

ReplyDeleteIn college, the shower beer was pretty much obligatory on Thursday night. Everyone was getting ready to go out, but wanted to get the party started early.
ReplyDeleteTruly an old tradition dating back 1920s when students also drank gin in the tub
DeleteJim - you underscore the importance of knowing your history.
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to the idea of a shower beer while dating a French girl circa 2005. I found it refreshing and have encouraged others to try it out. Shower cocktails are also encouraged, but be mindful of the glassware...cheers!
ReplyDeleteI know my limitations and that is, I have no business bringing glass into the shower. Some nice cold beers from Vermont...yes.
