Fossil Fuels Brewing Company is a beer maker based in Manteca, California, United States.
 The beer is brewed with what is claimed to be ancient yeast that medical mycologist and co-owner Raul Cano extracted from amber and revived after 25 million to 45 million years.
 The company launched a German-style wheat beer in the Northern California area on July 27, 2008.
 The process that the company used to extract yeast from amber is similar to the process described in the fictional book Jurassic Park that was used to retrieve dinosaur blood from mosquitos trapped in amber.
 The beer has received mixed critical reviews, including that it has a unique taste.
Kastenlauf, Kistenlauf, Bierkastenlauf, Bierlauf, Bierkastenrennen (literally "crate-running", "beer crate-running", or equivalents), biergrätle-race, or Bier-Rallye, is a drinking game/sport that is played in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
 It is a race among teams that consist of at least two people carrying a crate of beer, all of which must be consumed prior to crossing the finish line.
 The first team to cross the finish line after drinking all of their beer is considered the winner.
Lion Red is a New Zealand lager-style beer brewed by Lion Breweries, part of the Lion Nathan group.
 The beer is 4.0% alcohol.
 Because of its relatively low alcohol content it is widely regarded as an excellent 'session' beer, that is, a beer that can be consumed freely over a long session of time without all the adverse effects of a higher alcohol volume beer.
 As such, it is also a favourite of university students, along with similar strength beers such as Speights and DB Draught.
Märzen or Märzenbier (German: "March or March beer" , respectively) is a lager that originated in Bavaria.
 It has a medium to full body and may vary in color from pale through amber to dark brown.
Austrian beers come in a wide variety of styles, and many small breweries are scattered across the country, though a few larger breweries dominate markets.
 Austrian brewers were never subject to the tight restrictions of the Reinheitsgebot, and as a result more variety remains in Austria than in Germany.
 The most common style of beer is similar to the German "Märzen", though the Austrian style is distinct.
Potomania, also known as beer potomania, beer drinker's potomania, and beer drinker's hyponatremia, is a specific hypo-osmolality syndrome related to massive consumption of beer, which is poor in solutes and electrolytes. With little food or other sources of electrolytes, consumption of large amounts of beer or other dilute alcoholic drinks leads to electrolyte disturbances, where the body does not have enough of nutrients known as electrolytes, namely sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
 The symptoms of potomania are similar to other causes of hyponatremia and include dizziness, muscular weakness, neurological impairment and seizures, all related to hyponatremia and hypokalaemia.
 While the symptoms of potomania are similar to other causes of hyponatremia and acute water intoxication, it should be considered an independent clinical entity because of its often chronic nature of onset, pathophysiology, and presentation of symptoms.
Duchesse de Bourgogne (] ) is a Flanders red ale-style beer produced by Brouwerij Verhaeghe in Vichte, Belgium.
 After a primary and secondary fermentation, this ale is matured in oak barrels for 18 months.
 The final product is a blend of a younger 8-month-old beer with an 18-month-old beer.
 The name of the beer is meant to honour Duchess Mary of Burgundy, the only daughter of Charles the Bold.
 She was born in Brussels in 1457, and died in a horse riding accident.
 Like all Flemish red ales, Duchesse de Bourgogne has a characteristically sour, fruity flavour similar to that of lambic beers.
Birch beer in its most common form is a carbonated soft drink made from herbal extracts, usually from birch bark, although in the colonial era birch beer was made with herbal extracts of oak bark.
 It has a taste similar to root beer.
 There are dozens of brands of birch beer available.
Edelweiss Weissbier (also spelled Edelweiß Weißbier), a wheat beer (or more specifically weissbier, a culturally and historically specific style of wheat beer), brewed until 2010 near Salzburg, Austria by , and since 2010 somewhere else (neither commercial nor brewery's websites provide any information on the subject).
 While the Edelweiss brand as a beer dates to 1986, the brewery itself was founded in 1475 as 'Kalte Bräuhaus' by the mayor of the village of Kaltenhausen, Johann Elsenhaimer.
Beer rating is assessing and evaluating beer using a point system.
 The process is similar to that used in beer judging competitions, such as those organised by the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) in America, though the participants are consumers so it may be termed a score-rated recommendation system.
 The rating system may be a simple 5 marks, and may be organized by a beer store or pub chain such as Wetherspoons in the UK; or it may be more involved, such as the systems used by beer rating websites such as BeerAdvocate and RateBeer.
 Beer ratings can be generally considered to be informative and unbiased source of information.
