However, more recently smaller, craft breweries have seen significant expansion as a growing number of Americans are drinking craft beers. How has this recent trend affected the beer market in the United States? More specifically, how has the recent success of craft breweries affected Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors? I examine the economic factors that have led to craft beer’s success in a highly competitive market, and further, how this success has impacted Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors. My study reveals that the premier quality of craft beer has distinctively separated itself from the traditional American lagers, like Coors and Bud Light.

  • STRONG BEER FESTIVAL in BAVARIA the Bavarian Fifth Season: Strong Beer Festival
    HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL Starkbierzeit STARKBIERZEIT IN MUNCHEN / STRONG BEER SEASON THE STRONG BEER FESTIVAL IN BAVARIA The Bavarian fifth season: Strong Beer Festival The first thing to be said is that the Purity Law of 1516 insists that beer brewed in Germany can contain only water, malt, hops and yeast. Yet the result is a medley of highly complex aromas and tastes across an astonishing spectrum. The second is the influence of changing seasons. In spring, when it's still too cold to enjoy a stein outdoors in the beer garden, the beers of choice are bocks - Bockbier and Doppelbock: strong, malty and warming. These beers are produced in March, during the 'Strong Beer Season' (Starkbierzeit), a tradition begun by 17th century Paulaner monks brewing what they called 'Holy Father Beer' (Sankt Vater Bier). In Lent, when fasting monks were only allowed liquids, this developed into a dark beer style called 'Salvator' that was 'double' strong (doppel). Salvator is still brewed today. Oktoberfest is the most well-known beer festival in Germany - even the world - but it is far from the only bierfest. Germans love their beer and Munich is the site of several large b.efil: festivals, such as the Starkbierfest (strong beer festival) between winter and spring. The "insider's Oktoberfest", locals shake off winter hibernation with beers of Herculean strength. Starkbiers (strong, dark beers) are the drink of choice in this coldest of seasons. The festival is tied to monks, fasting and the changing of the seasons and has been celebrated since the 16th century. The barely-publicized two week event, centered around the Paulaner brewery, is a much-loved local tradition and the end to what Bavarians call the "fifth season." It may be slower-paced and less touristy than the Oktoberfest, but that doesn't make the beer maids working there any more intent on a perfect pour, society members say.

  • Juegos De La Antigüedad Y Edad Media
    Introducción - Juegos de la Antigüedad y Edad Media Indice General | Volver Página 1 de 1 Introducción Hay muchos juegos egipcios, asirios, mesopotámicos, vikingos, etc. que provienen de la Antigüedad y de la Edad Media, y sus reglas no se conocen con certeza, pero a través de manuscritos y otros hallazgos se puede lograr un acercamiento posible. Estos juegos son: * El Hnefatafl, juego vikingo, con sus variantes. * Perros y Chacales, juego egipcio, que se ha encontrado también en Palestina, Mesopotamia y Asiria. * El Rithmomachy, "Juego de los Filósofos", jugado en la Edad Media, inventado en Alemania. * El Senet, juego también egipcio, que puede ser el antepasado del Backgammon. Perros y Chacales - Juegos de la Antigüedad y Edad Media Indice General | Volver Página 1 de 2 1.Su historia Este es un juego cuyo nombre y reglas también han sido olvidados entre las nieblas del pasado. Se conoce como el juego de los "Perros y Chacales". Sabemos de este juego por medio de un famoso tablero encontrado en una tumba egipcia. Pertenece a una familia de juegos llamada "juego de los treinta puntos" o "juego de los cincuenta y ocho agujeros". Se han descubierto muchos tableros o fichas de tableros en Egipto, como así también en Palestina, Mesopotamia y Asiria. Se ha encontrado un tablero muy lindo en la tumba de Reny-Seneb, de la XII dinastía, aprox. 1800 a.C. Este hermoso juego en ébano y marfil, tiene la forma de un pequeño mueble. El tablero es una caja de madera rectangular (de 15 x 10 cm.), puesto sobre cuatro patas de animal.
