Feb 4 2009Mmmm: Sierra Nevada Is Making Bio-Fuel
There was a time in my life when I drank Sierra Nevada like it was my job. Sadly, I was fired. And now the company is making bio-fuel with beer leftovers.
Sierra Nevada, brewer of delicious beers, has purchased a MicroFueler, a contraption that produces ethanol from water, sugar and yeast. Yeast also happens to be a major byproduct of beer fermentation, allowing them to make fuel out of beer leftovers.Is that not beautiful? I demand a test barrel of this new brew-fuel. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Keg stands!

Now they just need to find a way to fuel cars with vomit and the circle will be complete!

Drunk driving what!? It's not me officer, it's the car... Look at the fuel gauge, this thing is wasted!!

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max woke up from a crazy dream and said this reminds me of Doc Brown pouring Miller High Life into Mr. Fusion anlong with a banana peel and other garbage

So it's official, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale isn't good enough for human consumption, time to feed it to the cars. Clever way to get around a recall I guess

I love Sierra Nevada's line of beers. Very good (if you like hops).
But beware, it will give you a hangover of biblical proportions if you over imbide...
...be warned

No matter how many warning labels you put on that thing, some moron is going to attempt to drink from it thinking it's just beer, I know it and you know it.

It's just like Homer said: "Beer, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems."

SHUT UP!!! NEVER BACK DOWN IS NOT A REAL MOVIE!!!
This is exactly like diving by zero.

@14: "Diving by zero?" You fail worse than Daisy, give it up dude.
I concur with #9, you know it's gonna be on the news the first night after it opens for public "consumption".

in Australia, we eat our beer leftovers. Have you ever heard of vegemite? it's all old beer. We even give it to our kids, that's good parenting, build up a resiliance at a young age.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and his friends built a snowman. When they put a top hat on his head he came to life. When the weather turned cold he spent his precious bodily fluids into a puddle at their feet.
