Limited edition San Miguel Oktoberfest Beer to be unveiled

San Miguel Pale Pilsen’s 2008 Oktoberfest celebration, set to become the biggest, grandest, and longest in the world, will be made even more unique with the grand unveiling of a limited edition San Miguel Oktoberfest brew.

San Miguel Brewery Inc., the company behind the 118-year old, iconic Philippine brew, will release limited numbers of San Miguel Oktoberfest Beer, to show merrymakers a different facet of SMB.

Exclusively brewed for this year’s 120-day celebration of one of the world’s most famous festivals, the limited edition beer will be a pale lager with malty notes, balanced with floral and citrussy hops.

Made of 100% malt, it promises to be full-flavored yet light-bodied, sweetish in taste, and smooth on the finish. It is a refreshing and satisfying beer without the inebriating effect of alcohol.

This once-in-a-lifetime brew will make its debut at the grand kick-off of San Miguel Oktoberfest on September 5, at a special venue at the Coyuito parking lot, along San Miguel Avenue in Ortigas, Mandaluyong City, in front of the San Miguel head office complex, Gate 1.

The event itself promises to be one for the record books as San Miguel Pale Pilsen attempts to set two Guinness World Records for the Philippines: for the biggest beer-toasting crowd ever, and the longest beer bar.

PSP GPS Is Coming Soon

pspgps

Now you may be wondering when psp GPS is coming out. Well, John Koller, senior marketing manager for the Sony PSP, recently confirmed in an interview with E3 that the portable console’s GPS attachment will arrive in North America some time next year. The attachment Koller spoke of seems to be the same accessory Sony announced in CES 2008 which proceeded the announcement of Skype support for the PSP.

Sony is currently seeking out other video game publishers who might be interested in employing GPS technology in their titles. Some may recall the hype behind Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops by Konami. This game quickly became famous for many reasons, one of them being its use of the PSP GPS receiver that allowed players to easily find and recruit additional personnel. While this added a new level of depth and functionality to the game, it also offered more portability by allowing players to step outside and complete the mission.

2009 seems like a long time to wait for this new attachment but as we all know, times flies with your PSP. Unfortunately, Koller hasn’t announced an official arrival date so you should certainly stay tuned to find out the latest psp details.
