President: The Best Beer, the real flavor? Why



begin this post by saying: The President is a mediocre beer, and, therefore, overstated. Its success is a blend of our ignorance, yet good job of marketing by the Dominican National Brewery.

A little history (I admit that it was never my favorite subject, Buuut case of alcohol, do the task)

Before Columbus "discovered" our piece of land, and Indians were preparing their cervesuana drinking and, as good Dominicans the end - if you can apply the term - this was based on cassava and maize. Ok. Come the English and lost many of the customs, including the brewing. In 1795

open international trade, entering, as expected, alcohol consumption by the population, although not as popular. It is not until 1822 that sets out the merchants of this wonderful liquid, ale being the most used, followed by German. The marks were Bobée, Tennents and Allsopp.

Seeing the increasing consumption of this product, the government decides to start local production and the Dominican National Brewery born in 1929. The founders determine the success of the beer should be based on the product rapport with the local environment, removing environmental international focus had beer so far. Here begins the work of Marketing.

Our first beer was launched in 1930 with the name of Columbus, then lost a little focus - and then the Queen, a few months later and still out of focus. Neither was over imported brands.

arrives then, our official sponsor of Dominican pride / the best beer, the real flavor / or whatever you call it - The President. 1935 and removed the other two brands - here continues the good marketing work. The rest is history itself. We like good

Dominicans, we are victims of marketing. What better example than the conquest of the island?! The marketing we

clouds objectivity. The president is a bitter beer and gives a terrible hangover. Its aroma is nice - it smells like vomit, and if you're a drinker, knows all too well that alcohol, food and sex, the aroma is who does most of the work. In short: a bad smell, and you know what follows. But seriously, much of the flavor that we feel to have a beer comes from the smell receptors in the nose.

But talk about a good beer or not the best beer is easy. I know many people who say that the president is the best beer in the world, Heineken is crap and the Guinness tastes like pee. Sure, Ok, I understand it well. We are a third world country that we are just being reported in the world for our players, but as we see that the President sponsors festivals in Germany, we see ads in games vs. the Yankees or Boston in the NBA ... It's like saying that Brugal is better than the Barcelo, but that is another matter.

Gentlemen, remember that we are fanatical Dominican par excellence, we take the things and more when we see people from another country to consume our products. Realdiad But that means nothing. For foreigners coming to eat rice and beans means, in case this is better than your regular food?; No, it means that they are testing our culture. I assure you, a gringo when in USA, will not ask President instead of Budwiser ...

But nothing, here are a top 20 in the world with the best beers for the year 2008 made by:

Watchmen was a phenomenon?




At a time when superhero movies' as beating, one does not stop wondering: Why Watchmen were given phenomenon?

Many critics want to ensure that it is the high content of violence and nudity, in short called "R rated". I say no. Watchmen is for me the best adaptation of a graphic novel - or if want to call it, comic book - which has done so far, even a cut above The Dark Knight. The difference between these two is one: The Cult. While Batman is a figure well known, a story recounted in the media-without detract-Watchmen was not that great background to support the transition to the big screen, of which I am pleased enough by the very nature of the source material.

Gentlemen, Watchmen, Heroes are made for us, not the general public. Want an example?; Here it is: Compare the level of science / technology demonstrated in Iron Man with the Watchmen. IM is a cinch.

Which brings us to another dilemma among the critics: the complexity of his narrative. My verdict?; Lie of the devil.
"Superheroes exist in the real world. The ancient heroes die as their ideals. The economy has collapsed and the government to a new model. Science reaches its highest peak with Dr. Manhattan, and there is no superhero to represent the government because Nixon, destroyed its value. "

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe revolving door is a metaphor brilliant.

Rorschach We understand, because as human beings, we share his perception of good and evil. His way of seeing the world as his mask, black and white polarity as such.

We identify ourselves with the Comedian, because we have the same level of cynicism and often employ methods opposed to objective we want. Because we can not deny that we are animals in captivity in our self-created jungle society.

We understand Dr. Manhattan, because despite being a man of science, shows the depth of his emotional side, because despite being "God" among men, teaches us that man is more fragile than you or me.

And so I can continue to explain, in my view, the depth and greatness will Watchmen. But that's not the point of this topic.

Watchmen, the audience was not as expected, with all respect Zack Snyder, Lords. producers and / or Warner Bros., we only wanted to take another superhero movie to the big screen using a great story as a simple excuse advantage of the success of Batman, Spider-Man and X-Men, which if they were developed properly and because of the nature of the story, less complex, therefore easier to carry, there results .

sounds a bit contradictory to what I said at first, but it is real. The strength of the graphic novel is such that its weak points leading to the big screen, as if they were the great virtue of history, makes a great fit.

For those who do not know, Watchmen, no returning heroes is removed to restore their status in society. Is that superheroes should never exist. They exist because we are morally corrupt and incapable of resolving our conflicts. Nuclear war are trying to stop is almost entirely their fault and was accelerated by its very existence.

I deeply regret not see in the near future a continuation of this great history. But even more regrettable that the industry is not prepared
