The Couve Brew Bevy, a group of women who share a love for beer and connection, will be celebrating the sixth anniversary of their first “Bevy Meet Up” on Wednesday.

Hey there, it’s Madison Beer. I hope you’re doing well. I have a crazy story to share with you today. So, I was on a Zoom call recently, just chatting away, when all of a sudden, a recording of my own voice starts playing. Can you believe it? I couldn’t. I mean, I just clicked one button, and now my voice is playing on its own. Talk about confusing!

Now, let’s backtrack a bit. I’m sure you’re wondering why I was working on a self-tape when I’m known as a pop singer, not an actor. Well, it’s interesting how things unfold in life. You see, I’ve been in the music business for over a decade now – yes, since I was a child pop star and viral sensation. Back when I was just 13, Justin Bieber himself discovered me and things took off from there.

Fast forward to today, and I’ve released an album, an EP, and numerous singles, all showcasing my radio-ready pop vocals. But guess what? I’m about to release my second album, Silence Between Songs. It’s a project that holds a lot of meaning for me, and that’s why I was working on a self-tape. Sometimes you have to explore different creative outlets to express yourself fully.

So, picture this – I’m lounging on my bed at home in sunny Los Angeles, all cozy with a stack of pillows behind me, and my laptop on my lap. I’ve just woken up, but I’m still looking put together in my oversized sweater that boldly says “EXCUSE ME!” across the front. My hair cascades down my shoulders, perfectly framing the slogan on my chest.

Now, let’s go back to where it all began. It was the comb-over era of Justin Bieber, and he tweeted a link to a video of me singing Etta James’s “At Last”. Can you believe that? I was only 13 years old! Bieber, the superstar himself, recognizing my talent and calling me a “future star”. That moment changed my life forever, and soon enough, I signed with Island Records and became part of Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun’s roster.

With the support of my amazing mother, Tracie, who put her interior design career on hold to help navigate the music industry, I became a rising star. It was an exciting time for pop music, with hits like “Call Me Maybe” and “Starships” dominating the airwaves. And just imagine this – for my 14th birthday, Bieber surprised me by bringing me on stage at the O2 Arena in London and singing happy birthday to me in front of a massive crowd. It was surreal.

But as time went on, I started feeling trapped by the “Disney queen” image that was thrust upon me. So, I made the decision to go independent after three years with Island Records. I wanted to explore different genres and find my own sound. I collaborated with DJs Jax Jones and Martin Solveig, tried my hand at R&B, and even launched my own makeup line with Morphe. It was all part of my journey to express myself authentically.

Unfortunately, fame came at a price. When I was just 16, private and intimate photos of me were leaked online without my consent. That whole experience was absolutely devastating, and the hate that followed was relentless. It took a toll on my mental health, and I even contemplated suicide. It was a dark and lonely time for me, feeling like no one could truly understand what I was going through.

That brings us to where I am now, on the verge of releasing my second album, Silence Between Songs. This album is a cathartic experience for me, a way to confront the emotions and struggles I’ve faced over the past decade. It’s a departure from the catchy bubblegum pop I was known for, and it’s more aligned with the vulnerable and introspective style of Lana Del Rey in her Born To Die era.

So, there you have it – the journey of Madison Beer, from a young girl recording covers in her bedroom to a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. It hasn’t been an easy road, but I’ve grown so much as an artist and as a person. I’m grateful for every experience, both the highs and the lows, because they’ve shaped me into the artist I am today.

I hope you’ll join me on this next chapter of my musical journey. Let’s embrace the “Silence Between Songs” and discover the raw and authentic Madison Beer together. Thank you for being part of my story.

A difficult task for critics to decipher. When her debut studio album Life Support was released in 2021, Dani Blum, a writer for Pitchfork, labeled it as “ambitious yet shallow,” insinuating that Beer was determined to prove herself as a serious musician. Initially, it took some time for people to recognize Beer as an artist. She was often referred to as a “social media star” before being acknowledged as a musician (probably due to her staggering number of Instagram followers, which currently stands at 37 million). But does Beer feel like she is not taken seriously? “Yes, I mean, by the general public,” she sighs. However, she seems to have moved past it now. “But honestly, I don’t think it matters to me anymore because I have accepted it,” she explains. Despite her previous work, Silence Between Songs feels more honest and revealing than anything she has done before.

In her song “King of Everything,” Beer confronts a powerful man who has taken advantage of young individuals, expressing her hope that he receives what he deserves. She explains, “I wanted to write a song about powerful men I have encountered firsthand – those who believe they are at the pinnacle of the world when, in reality, they sleep alone and have no one to turn to. It’s just sad.” Moreover, Beer is an ardent music enthusiast. She is fascinated by The Beatles (expressing her fear that if she ever met Paul McCartney, she might not make it out alive). On her album, she draws inspiration from a variety of artists, including The Beach Boys, Tame Impala, and Lana Del Rey. For instance, “Home To Another One” blends bouncy synths with Tame Impala-esque influences, while “Nothing Matters” channels Del Rey’s style, evoking a sense of an orchestral love song suitable for a Disney princess movie.

In the song “Ryder,” Beer searches for a different kind of justice. Apologizing to her younger brother, Ryder, who is three years her junior, she softly sings, “I always left you out, you still love me somehow, you just wanted a friend, didn’t know it then.” Throughout their upbringing, Beer’s fame often cast a lengthy shadow, obscuring Ryder’s presence. Beer states that this song is the most “sacred” on the album, explaining, “I had a genuine apology to offer [Ryder], and I felt that he deserved to hear everything I had to say.” She adjusts herself more comfortably under her duvet and adds, “But I believe he also found peace in it. I think it means a lot to have someone acknowledge the things you have gone through.”

Recently, Beer has become more open about her experiences. Her memoir, titled The Half of It, was released in April and chronicles her journey from getting signed to discovering that nude photos of her were being circulated online. Each chapter of the memoir contains journaling prompts and mental health advice that Beer has acquired throughout her life. She expresses her hope that the readers gain a greater sense of empathy towards one another. In comparison to individuals like Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton, both of whom have recently released memoirs discussing years of mistreatment by Hollywood and the mainstream media, Beer chose to release hers at an earlier stage. “People have seriously misunderstood my character and who I am as an individual,” she confides. “I have been unfairly judged, and it is a terrible feeling. It is disheartening to realize that the girl they talk about doesn’t actually exist. I wanted readers to put down my book and reconsider the numerous people they have misjudged.”

Does Beer feel like she was forced to grow up too quickly? “Absolutely,” she responds instinctively. “I have been working since the age of 12, and that is far from normal. In many ways, I was rushed into adulthood because of my industry involvement… Now, I’m like, ‘poof!’ Just like that, I’m 24 years old, but mentally, I still feel like I’m 19 or 20. Sometimes, it truly baffles me.”

Is the “Beer Before Liquor” Saying Actually True?

If you’ve ever consumed alcohol in your life, there’s a good chance you’ve probably heard a certain rhyming phrase: “Beer before liquor, never been sicker.” And you’ve likely heard the second part of the saying, too: “liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.” It’s the type of expression people repeat during a night out. Many people wholeheartedly believe in the sentiment and swear by starting with hard alcohol before transitioning to beer and wine. But is it actually based on facts?

We’re breaking down everything you need to know about the “beer before liquor” phrase: from its origins to the science behind how our body metabolizes alcohol. We ultimately don’t know where this phrase comes from, because it’s been around for centuries. There are derivatives of the “beer before liquor” sentiment in different languages around the world.

The general philosophy claims that if you start drinking beverages with a lower amount of alcohol before transitioning into higher-proof spirits later in the night, you’ll end up with a nasty hangover. According to the New York Times, some arguments blame carbonation for the sickness. Beer, sparkling wines, and other carbonated drinks supposedly irritate our stomach lining, which speeds up alcohol absorption and allegedly makes you drunk faster.

It’s time to clear the air: the “beer before liquor” saying is just a long-standing myth. It’s not true. Every claim that validates the theory is rooted in purely anecdotal evidence. There is no scientific proof that indicates that the order in which you consume different alcoholic beverages has an impact on how it affects your body. In fact, one 2019 study dispelled the concept entirely.

So, if the saying is just a myth, is there anything else that impacts how alcohol affects our bodies? There are two main factors that actually make a difference when it comes to a hangover the next day. The most important one is simply the quantity of alcohol you consume. Experts estimate that this is actually the underlying explanation behind the “beer before liquor” phrase. The saying likely came to be after a long night of drinking multiple forms of alcohol, except the order wasn’t the culprit; it was the amount.

Another factor that comes into play and can have an impact on your body’s metabolism is the amount of food you’re eating. Gastroenterologist Dr. Roshini Rajapaksa told the New York Times that having food in your system slows the absorption of alcohol and can minimize the sickness you feel. Conversely, drinking on an empty stomach can get you drunk faster.

So next time you hear the phrase, “beer before liquor, never been sicker,” don’t let it impact your night of drinking. Just make sure to eat enough food and drink in moderation. After all, it’s the quantity of alcohol you consume and the presence of food in your stomach that truly make a difference when it comes to how you feel the next day.

Trans activist and influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, recently spoke about their plans and aspirations for the future. One of the goals Mulvaney shared was their desire to star in a Super Bowl commercial. Specifically, Mulvaney, who identifies as a transgender woman, expressed interest in appearing in a beer advertisement during the highly anticipated sports event. This aspiration comes after Mulvaney faced significant backlash earlier this year due to a partnership with Bud Light.

The controversy surrounding Mulvaney’s collaboration with Bud Light resulted in substantial financial losses for Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of the beer brand. The company’s revenue decreased by nearly $400 million in the past year. Critics argued that this decline was a direct consequence of a conservative boycott prompted by Mulvaney’s association with the brand.

Mulvaney voiced their disappointment with Anheuser-Busch, highlighting their lack of communication and response during the backlash. The influencer explained that the negative attention led to anxiety and fear, admitting to feeling scared to leave their own home for a period of time.

In a surprising turn of events, Anheuser-Busch recently announced the sale of eight of its labels to Tilray Brands, a New York-based cannabis company. The acquisition will include popular brands such as Shock Top, Breckenridge Brewery, and Blue Point Brewing Company, among others. This decision has sparked mixed reactions, especially from Anheuser-Busch heir Billy Busch, who expressed his disheartenment at seeing Bud Light, a brand he cherished from his childhood, lose its reputation for prioritizing customers and employees.

Looking beyond their Super Bowl commercial aspirations, Mulvaney disclosed other future goals, including a desire to meet Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Jill Biden, the First Lady. As an influential figure in the trans community, Mulvaney strives to use their platform to create meaningful connections and make a positive impact.

While keeping the core story and logic intact, this alternative blog post presents the details in a distinct format. By incorporating a more narrative approach, the post attempts to engage readers through storytelling while conveying the same information.

The Beer market is booming, and it’s no surprise considering its popularity as the third most consumed beverage in the world, following water and tea. With a projected value of USD 1315.46 billion by 2031, this industry is growing at a steady CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period (2023-2031).

One of the key factors driving the demand for Beer is the changing lifestyles and rising standards of living of people. As people’s preferences and habits evolve, they are gravitating towards alcoholic beverages, and Beer, with its mild and refreshing taste, is gaining popularity. This trend is particularly evident among young adults, who are increasingly embracing all types of Beer, from lager to ale and craft.

Beer is made from malted cereal grains, hops, and yeast, which are carefully fermented over time to create its distinct flavor. While the nutritional value of Beer may vary depending on the brand, on average, it contains 0.5 g of protein, 4 mg of sodium, 27 mg of potassium, and about 43 calories per 100 ml.

The rising demand for Beer is also attributed to the increase in breweries worldwide and the consistent growth in the demand for alcoholic beverages. As urbanization spreads across developing nations and lifestyles change, the consumption of Beer is becoming more prevalent. Western entertainment and values are being embraced by young people in these countries, leading to increased acceptance and demand for Beer. This trend is expected to continue in the Asia Pacific and Middle Eastern regions, where alcohol consumption is traditionally viewed as a negative habit.

In addition to alcoholic Beer, the market for non-alcoholic Beer is also experiencing exponential growth. Health-conscious individuals are increasingly seeking alternatives that align with their wellness goals. Non-alcoholic Beer provides a solution with fewer calories and various health benefits.

There has been a recent surge in the popularity of low carb craft beers in the United States. While traditionally, beers have not been low in carbs, craft breweries are now seizing this opportunity to cater to a growing base of health-conscious consumers. In this article, we will present the top 15 low carb craft beer brands in the US.

In the past, craft lager beers typically contained around 12g of carbs, while IPAs had an average of 12-15g of carbs per 12 oz beer. While this may not seem like much, for individuals following a keto or low-carb diet, consuming just one beer can quickly exceed their daily carb limit, which is typically 20-25g.

As the popularity of keto and other low-carb diets continues to rise, breweries have been actively searching for ways to reduce the carb content of their beers. One method that has gained significant attention in the beer industry is the use of amyloglucosidase, a fungal enzyme that is a key component of Brut IPAs. This enzyme has revolutionized the way brewers are able to reduce carbs in their beers.

However, despite the growing interest in light beers, craft beer consumers have historically been turned off by the idea of “light” beers. Craft beer enthusiasts prioritize flavor and are not willing to compromise taste for low calories or carbs. In response to this demand, brewers have been striving to create full-flavored craft beers with lower calorie and carb counts.

The recent shift in the beer market has forced breweries to explore new avenues to attract customers. With a significant portion of the population being calorie and carb-conscious, it is crucial for breweries to offer options that align with these dietary preferences. By providing flavorful craft beers that still adhere to macro goals, breweries are able to stay competitive in the market.

One company that has made strides in reaching this new category of consumers is Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:STZ). In May of this year, Constellation Brands introduced its latest product innovation, Modelo Oro. Positioned as a high-end light beer, Modelo Oro aims to deliver a smooth, elevated light beer experience while reducing the carb content. This innovation has been well-received by consumers, with Modelo Oro being a top 10 share gainer in its initial test markets.

Another major player in the beer industry, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:BUD), has also recognized the importance of low carb offerings. Last year, the company launched Bud Light NEXT, the first ever zero-carb, zero-sugar beer from the brewing giant. With this new extension, Anheuser-Busch InBev aims to usher in a ‘new era’ for its flagship brand, Budweiser. This low carb beer has already been heavily promoted, including a featured spot during the Super Bowl with a 30-second ad.

In addition to Bud Light NEXT, Anheuser-Busch InBev also offers Michelob Ultra, another popular low-carb option for consumers.

As the demand for low carb craft beers continues to grow, breweries are adapting to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. By creating flavorful, low carb options, breweries can forge ahead in the ever-evolving beer market. So, if you’re on a low-carb diet or simply looking for a lighter beer option, check out the top 15 low carb craft beer brands in the US.

Brewing has always been a competitive industry, with companies constantly vying for the top spot in the market. And when it comes to the American beer market, one brand has reigned supreme for nearly two decades – Bud Light. However, recent controversy has sent shockwaves through the industry, causing Bud Light to lose its crown as the top-selling beer in America. This turn of events has left Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:BUD), the parent company of Bud Light, facing some significant headwinds.

The controversy surrounding Bud Light began on April 1 with a social media post by Dylan Mulvaney, a disgruntled customer. Mulvaney’s post quickly went viral, igniting a fiery backlash among Bud Light customers across the country. As a result, volumes of Bud Light have seen a sharp decline, and competitors have been gaining market share at the expense of Anheuser-Busch InBev.

The operational deleveraging caused by this backlash is set to have a heavy impact on US margins, especially amid peak demand pressure in the second quarter. As a result, second-quarter operating profit may be only half of last year’s levels. Despite these challenges, Broyhill Asset Management still expects Anheuser-Busch InBev to grow consolidated operating profit at a mid-single-digit rate for the full year.

Investor sentiment for Anheuser-Busch InBev is currently low, with the stock approaching a double-digit free cash flow yield. However, Broyhill Asset Management sees significant upside potential due to the understanding of the company’s current issues and the reverse of FX headwinds and rising input costs. As margins increase, positive surprises are anticipated in FY24, bringing more value to shareholders.

While Anheuser-Busch InBev navigates these challenges, let’s shift our focus to the top low carb craft beers in America. We’ve conducted extensive research, referring to reputable sources like The Beer Connoisseur, VinePair, Men’s Journal, and Reddit, to compile a list of the best low carb craft beer brands in America. We assigned scores based on the number of times the beers appeared in these sources and ranked them accordingly.

One notable low carb craft beer is Brut-Hero, a 7% ABV IPA produced by Revolution Brewing, the largest craft brewery in Illinois. With its white grape, passion fruit, and lemon notes and a dry champagne-like finish, Brut-Hero offers a high ABV while maintaining low carb content.

Another noteworthy option is Southbound Brewing Co.’s light lager, explicitly named the Southbound Light Lager. This beer is not only smooth and effervescent but also suitable for keto dieters, as it allows them to enjoy their favorite beverage without breaking ketosis.

Victory Easy Ringer Lo-Cal IPA, produced by Victory Brewing Company, offers a crisp and light IPA with passionfruit and citrus notes. With only 96 calories, this beer is ideal for those looking for a low carb option without compromising on flavor.

Lastly, Local’s Light by Short’s Brewing is an American Lager that boasts a 5.2% ABV. Known as “Beer in its Simplest Form,” this all-grain lager is crisp, clean, and perfect for any occasion.

These low carb craft beers provide a refreshing and flavorful alternative for those looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake without sacrificing taste. So, whether you’re a fan of Bud Light or exploring new options, these beers are worth considering.

The brewing industry is ever-evolving, and Anheuser-Busch InBev’s recent challenges are a testament to the competitiveness of the market. As the company strategizes to regain its position in the American market, other craft breweries continue to innovate and create exciting options for beer enthusiasts. Cheers to exploring new flavors and enjoying a refreshing pint!

**Brewery Supports Legal Defense Funds for Georgia Election Fraud Case**

In a unique and unexpected move, a craft beer maker is making waves by showing their support for former President Donald Trump and his electors involved in the 2020 Georgia election fraud case. Ultra Right Beer, known for their controversial products, has released a limited edition of “Conservative Dad’s Revenge” beer featuring President Trump’s mugshot on the cans. But it doesn’t stop there – the brewery is also donating 10% of sales to the Georgia Republican Party and the David Shafer Legal Defense Fund, aiming to defend Georgia’s Trump electors against the allegations brought by Democratic prosecutor Fani Willis.

Seth Weathers, the developer of Ultra Right Beer, has reported a surge in sales since the release of this special edition. He stated, “Sales are like nothing I have ever seen and still pouring in — we will be writing a check for many tens of thousands of dollars to the legal defense fund.” Weathers, known for his involvement in the “Let’s Go Brandon” Christmas wrapping paper phenomenon, started selling Ultra Right Beer earlier this year. The decision to create this limited edition was a means to both support his friends caught up in the prosecution and to irritate leftists. Weathers explained, “I needed a way to raise money for my Georgia friends being persecuted by the communists in the Fulton DA’s office and a way to annoy the hell out of leftists at the same time. This was a great success in both areas.”

The “Conservative Dad’s Revenge” beer is priced at $25 for a six-pack and is distributed in several states. It will be available for two weeks, providing beer enthusiasts an opportunity to contribute to the legal defense fund while enjoying a refreshing beverage. The state party expressed their gratitude for the support, stating that the proceeds are crucial to continue defending their electors against what they view as a false prosecution. “The proceeds are essential for us to continue supporting the legal defense of our electors, who are being persecuted by the rogue Fulton DA, Fani Willis, for the false ‘crime’ of lawfully contesting an election,” said Josh McKoon, Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party.

This bold move by Ultra Right Beer not only showcases their dedication to their cause but also highlights the power of entrepreneurship in supporting political affiliations. While some may view the brewery’s actions as controversial, others applaud their efforts to contribute to the defense funds. Ultra Right Beer has certainly managed to turn heads and stir conversation, demonstrating that even in the craft beer industry, political statements can be made. Only time will tell if other breweries or small businesses will follow suit in their approach to politics.

Raise your beer mugs and get ready to celebrate! Oktoberfest, the world’s largest and most famous beer festival, is back in Munich, Germany. This year’s festivities will run from September 16 to October 3, making it the longest Oktoberfest ever.

But before we dive into the merriment, let’s take a look at some fun facts about this iconic festival. Did you know that Oktoberfest always begins on a Saturday in mid-September and lasts until the first Sunday in October? However, if that Sunday falls on either October 1 or 2, the celebrations are extended until October 3, which is German Unity Day. Since this year’s festival commences on October 1, we’re in for an 18-day extravaganza!

Now, let’s talk about how Oktoberfest officially kicks off. Since 1950, the mayor of Munich has the honor of tapping the first keg at Schottenhamel Festhalle. With great anticipation, the mayor fills the first mass – the famous one-liter German beer stein – and hands it to the premier of Bavaria, exclaiming “O’zapft is!” (“it is tapped”). It’s at this moment that other tents are signaled to start serving beer, and the festival really comes to life.

When it comes to the beer itself, only six Munich breweries have the privilege of serving their brews at Oktoberfest. These breweries – Hofbräu, Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Löwenbräu, Paulaner, and Spaten – each have their own massive beer garden tents at the Theresienwiese fairgrounds.

Of course, Oktoberfest wouldn’t be complete without copious amounts of beer. Year after year, between 5 million and 7 million people flock to the festival grounds, with a record-breaking attendance of 7.1 million in 1987. During this boozy extravaganza, attendees consume staggering amounts of beer. Over the past two decades, the lowest recorded beer consumption was 5.6 million liters (almost 1.5 million gallons), while the highest was a whopping 7.7 million liters (over 2 million gallons) in 2014.

While the beer takes center stage, let’s not forget about the delicious food that accompanies it. The amount of food served varies each year based on attendance, but let’s take a look at 2016 as an example. During that year, with 5.6 million festival-goers, a staggering amount of food was devoured, leaving taste buds satisfied and bellies full.

So, as Munich gears up for another unforgettable Oktoberfest, remember to raise your mug, toast to good times, and indulge in the festivities. Prost!
