just when we thought it was starting to make sense...

Yet another player has joined the Ad-Match!

these guys call themselves the March 11 (pronounced 2onze - stress on the z)

their motto is: let's meet halfway between March 8 (weet) and March 14 (quatorze)

Only in Lebanon people... Only in Lebanon!

Almaza Pure Malt - Beer

Posted by finkployd in Info
Wednesday, January 31. 2007

ok, so this isn't New News, but it is News that needs to be in the News.

not a month ago,

Almaza - the brand behind the most popular and best tasting beer in Lebanon - launched a New Brew:

Almaza Pure Malt

oh, and it tastes good!

Why is this in the News?

Well, Almaza to Lebanon is like Budweiser to the USA.

You simply cannot visit Lebanon without chugging down an Ice Cold Almaza on the beach, or at the apres-ski.

ahhhhhhhhhhh
