Friday Beer Blogging: Corn Edition

...
Harvest in Illinois is just around the corner so it’s important to remember where some of that corn goes –BEER! Or at least that’s what this billboard is telling us.


I guess I didn’t know Illinois corn went into Miller products but billboards don’t lie. I’m assuming it’s the other ingredients that make that beer not so good.

Anyway, there is a right way to make corn beer and there is a wrong way. Here is an example of the latter.

Then there is the right way. Read here about the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico who brew a corn beer for religious purposes. Here’s a picture of their corn brew being made. Hmmmm..looks a lot like the Miller brewery methinks.

Finally, sometimes it’s not what’s in the beer but what the beer is in. Check out this corn beer stein.

Well, I hope this post wasn’t too corny (oh, quit your groanin’). Have a great Labor Day weekend!
