So, the folks over at Printsome, a U.K. T-shirt printing service, were getting hammered one evening (by their own admission, "beers weren't lacking") and somehow the discussion turned to how Facebook would taste if it were a beer.
I think most people would say the flavor would change every few months at the whim of its advertising partners, but Printsome took things one step further and made a whole beer identity for Facebook. They did the same for Nike, Apple, the Arsenal football club and themselves, deciding flavor, label design, alcohol content and desired audience for each.
The label designs are pretty standard for projects like this, but the writeups are fun. They decided Nike beer would be low-cal and full of taurine, which sounds exactly like something Nike would do, and that Apple's iBeer would be an organic cider/beer monstrosity of some kind. I would have made it an iPA, but then again, I'm a pun-loving colonial savage.

Apple's iBrew beer would make Steve Jobs turn in his grave, but Apple evangelists would still buy it jsut because Apple brewed it (Click Image To Enlarge)
Nike's Just Drink It beer would have Nike fans saying "I'll have another" (Click Image To Enlarge)
Arsenal's London Ale is the perfect compliment to any British football game (Click Image To Enlarge)
Printsome's Drink Some beer should be printed on T-Shirts Now because I would buy one (Click Image To Enlarge)
COMMENTARY: I think Printsome mightr be on to something. I like the idea of printing branded T-shirts with hillarious products. I have a feeling that Zuck would love to have his own brew but would he include his brew over Red Bull now being offered to Facebook staffer's during Hack-A-Thon's? Hell yes, why not.
