Shiver me timbers!
‘Tis talk like a pirate day.
Fetch me grog, bilge rat!

With courage to brew
The ages become less dark
Sparks become a Star

References: Stella Artois is launching their new website tomorrow, Tuesday, September 18, 2007. They have been building excitement and dropping hints and giving previews about it for the last few weeks on their blog. I was given a preview of the site this weekend and I have to say it is pretty spectacular. The care and craft and expense that went into producing the site, the games, the cinematic elements, the score, the clips and every aspect of the site are nothing short of remarkable.

Just to give you an idea of how cool the site is, I will let you know that the promo packet that was sent to me was… er… diverted by a customs agent somewhere between Belgium and Baltimore. I don’t mean to jump to conclusions about anyone, but I can only assume that the agent or agents (could there be a conspiracy?!) likely spent the whole weekend viewing the videos and attempting to master the games and challenges that the general public will only get access to tomorrow.

I highly recommend checking out the site when it opens.

Some say it’s way too early
To begin drinking

Friday night is great
Beers flow freely to my mouth
Next day is not great.

Perusing the taps
a rush of excitement when
I see something new

References: I am trying out a new theme for this site. There are some things I like a lot and some things that will probably be tweaked in the next few weeks. Let me know what you think! I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. I especially want to know if you find something that is obviously broken. Just leave a comment or use my contact form. If you normally read Beer Haiku Daily using my feed, please stop by and check out the new digs.
