Fun Facts About Beer

It's no secret that we LOVE beer. We have over 15 craft beers on tap and even more in bottles and cans. We take the science of beer seriously. Though, we will admit some of the histories can be rather humorous. You want to know what else can be funny? People once they've drunk beer! I mean, isn't that the reason we drink it? To bring out our funnier, more amusing self? Anyway, here are a few fun facts that you can share before, during, or after you drink the best beer at the Lake of the Ozarks!



Steven Petrosino of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania downed 1 liter of beer or 33 ounces in a chilly 1.3 seconds in 1977 which made him a World Beer Chugging Champion according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 6500 BC.

In 1814, almost 400,000 gallons of beer flooded several streets in London after a huge vat ruptured in the parish of St. Giles.

Did you know that beer is the world's most widely consumed alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink overall (after water and tea)?

Beer supposedly can prevent kidney stones. A study published in American Journal of Epidemiology estimated that a bottle of beer consumed every day reduces the risk by 40%.

Beer commercials in the US aren't really allowed to show people actually drinking the beer. It's a US law that people cannot actually be shown consuming an alcoholic beverage on television. You're probably going to watch your favorite shows a LOT closer now, aren't you?

Do you know what zythology stands for? It is the official scientific name describing the study of beer and beer-making. It comes from the Greek word  "zythos" (beer) and "logos" (study).

Do you think that the US is the most beer-drinking country? Think again! The Czech Republic. Their capita beer consumption is almost 40 gallons per year!

Experimenting with beer is actually a thing. John Lubbock, an 18th-century English biologist, studied the behavior of beer on drunken ants.

If you thought that our fifteen beers on tap was impressive - there are actually about 440 types of beer in the world! Belgium is the country that has the most individual beer brands.

Finally, the fear of an empty beer glass is REALLY a thing. This terrifying phobia is known as Cenosillicaphobia.

Craft Beer at the Lake of the Ozarks!

From beer to amazing food - you can enjoy coming out to Casablanca for a great time. We have a delicious food menu, and from pizza to burgers, you'll find it all at our local bar at the Lake of the Ozarks.
