Last year we debuted our first selection ever for "Person of the Year". The award went to the
German ad agency Nordpol+ for their roll in creating the brat train and under-the-seat kegs at St.
Pauli's (Germany) soccer stadium.
Beer and soccer indeed.
This year we're opening the award to out FBM community to decide.
By Kirsten Schlewitz / Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentIn the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you: I'msitting here wearing a "Beat LA"
sweatshirt. Sure, it's meant to be ananti-Dodgers sentiment, but it applies to Sunday's match
between the LosAngeles Galaxy and the Houston Dynamo.
Tim Howard (GK) -
Lindemans Framboise: Sweet and sour temperament, but
effervescent as usual. Made some crucial saves that kept the match level for 70
minutes.
Timmy Chandler (LB) -
Weihenstephaner Hefe: Typically a
refreshing bit of German goodness, but on this occasion a little too light when something stronger
was called for.
By Kirsten Schlewitz / Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentSorry guys, but I refuse to give up my standing whisky atthe dive bar date in order to wait until
Houston Dynamo – Philadelphia Unionand Los Angeles Galaxy – New York Red Bulls are finished and
I can give you adecent recommendation for the MLS semi-finals.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentIt's October! And do you know what October means (besidesbundling up in scarves and boots)? It
means all things pumpkin,including...pumpkin beers!
Drink Up:Smuttynose
SmuttynosePumpkin Ale: One of the standards of pumpkin ales, and particularly easy tofind if you're
east of the Mississippi.
What's up, y'all? Can anyone guess what we're focusing onthis week? That's right, it's the
Merseyside Derby – long considered one of themost friendly derbies in soccer, one in which
supporters in Everton jerseys sitside by side with fans wearing Liverpool kits. Still, I imagine it
can't bevery fun for those whose, say, romantic relationships bridge that divide.
It's important to remember that all revolutionary movements are built upon the work of visionaries
before their own times. For Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams and the rest of the
colonial propagandists during America's War for Independence they could look to philosopher John
Locke and other Enlightenment writers.
The is definitely the stadium the USMNT plays in today. Wikipedia told us.
This is a guest post
by Joe Stange, former soccer blogger, former so-called serious journalist, who currently writes
about beer. The FBM cannot be held responsible for any of this nonsense, except for the very
questionable decision to allow this post to happen in the first place.
While we're not quite there when it comes to world-class soccer there's no doubt that the suds
coming from America are some of the best of the bunch.
The folks at GOOD put together a map of the United States based on readers' responses to their
favorite brewers in each of the 50 states (although Idaho doesn't have one.
Our ALL-TIME favorite IPA, Bell's Brewery Two-Hearted
(Comstock, MI)We talk a lot about the message on the Free Beer Movement website, "American soccer",
but sometimes we forget that the medium is just as important to the cause. Today is one of several
"beer holidays" celebrated in the United States called "International IPA Day".
Beer. It's meant for drinking.
And preferably with some soccer in front of you. Whether you're in the bar or at the tailgate we at
the Free Beer Movement have put together a hard drinkin' soundtrack to keep motivated while you're
slamming brews and introducing soccer to newbies (not that you needed that much of a push).
Esta es sin duda una de las mejores salvadas de cerveza, perdón recepciones de pelota de las
que se tengan memoria esos si son aficionados de verdad.
No me creen, observen el vídeo en el juego de estrellas de las ligas mayores de
Beisbol,curiosamente a un home run del mexicano estelar Adrian Gonzalez.
Editor's Note: We were asked to contribute a column to the Kicking and Screening Soccer
Film Festival a few weeks back. The festival, which runs from July 20 to 23 at the Tribeca Theater
in New York City, features some of the most interesting soccer films from around the globe. If
you're in and around the NYC-area don't hesitate to get tickets to this great event.
We hope that you didn't stumble upon this Gold Cup preview piece expecting to unlock the secrets of
the squads that face our U.S. National Team or any of the groups participating in the
tournament.
We will however be less-unlocking and more "twisting-off" the caps of many a brews from the
CONCACAF region both big, small, and REALLY small.
Editor's Note: Our "Going Suds Up" columnist, Kirsten, is all over Europe this summer and
occasionally she'll be sending back correspondence about the culture of beer and football across
the pond.
If you've got your own stories of beer and soccer from around the globe we'd love to hear
them.

What a way to celebrate America!
On Monday, Budweiser and Major League Soccer announced they had renewed their partnership to
sponsor the league, the Men's and Women's United States National Teams, and the Mexican National
Team within the U.S.
Interestingly enough, both the league and Budweiser passed on the opportunity to talk about how the
Free Beer Movement has been instrumental in growing both of their bottom lines.
GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's unwillingness to commit his future to the
club has angered fans for a while now and during the celebration in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday after
Saturday's DFB Pokal win, one supporter made his slappy feelings very clear to Neuer's face. The
Bayern Munich and Manchester United target rode in [.
Photo Credit: Free Beer MovementOn April 14, 2011 the Portland Timbers made their smashing Major
League Soccer debut. The American soccer world was blown away at the sights and sounds of the
league's newest members. A renovated stadium, a supporters-fueled National Anthem, and a team that
brought home a victory for the home fans.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentWith the trophies practically passed out in three of the four big European leagues – let's just
pass the crowns Manchester United, Barcelona, and AC Milan right now, although Borussia Dortmund
might need another week – it's more about the battle for the last Champions League position in
each league.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentYou know what? It's Thursday, I've got ten days until law school finals start, and I've been
drinking for the past three hours. I have little desire to explore the wide range of matches going
on this weekend, but I can tell you, there's a multitude.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentThis week, it's time to move away from the thrilling and slightly scary realm of Turkish football
and back into the safety zone – not the zone keeping teams away from the relegation zone, but the
nice easy place in which we can watch matches in English without straining too much.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentWell, it's been an interesting week of soccer, hasn't it?
This is the America we dream of.

The 16th season of Major League Soccer kicks off
tonight and like a fine wine it has aged gracefully. Or, more similarly, like a teenager thrashing
about, some times its a hit.
Fue el sexto diputado más votado de Río de Janeiro lo votaron más de 146 mil personas. El ex
futbolista Romario, de 44 años, logró su banca como diputado federal de Río de Janeiro por el
Partido Socialista Brasileño (PSB) en Octubre del 2010.
Muchos no sabían que Romario es ahora diputado en Brasil y creo que ni muchos de sus
compañeros en la cámara se enteran que esta presente y el por lo visto no se entera mucho de lo
que pasa en la politica brasileña.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentLast week, the mood was all about friendlies. But now that the international break has passed, it's
time to get back to what soccer's really about: intense, bitter rivalries. The sort of match that
will leave a sour taste in your mouth.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa CorrespondentI don't know about anyone else, but I'm still hungover from transfer day madness. Fernando Torres,
Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll are all still making my head hurt desperately. But really, there's no
better cure for the hangover blues than a little hair of the dog, so let's jump right in.
"The kid has got a good head on his shoulder," one scout said of the Chicago Fire's "draft"
pick.(Editor's Note: We've gone back and reviewed every pick from the first round of the
Major League Soccer SuperDraft and picked drinks/beers from the kids' college/home town to fill in
for them.

Senior West Coast Beer and Aston Villa Correspondent2011 football was not supposed to start out this way. A new coach should have brought a fresh
approach. We were meant to be climbing into the Champions League spots, not sliding into the
relegation zone. Instead, our top players aren't performing, there are training ground bust ups,
and people are placing bets on when the manager packs his bags.
