BY JAY BOBBIN

Hopefully, Oscar is ready for Seth MacFarlane, because MacFarlane sounds ready for him.The “Family Guy” creator and “Ted” director and co-writer will live the dream of many a film fan by serving

as host of this year’s Oscars, as ABC airs the Motion Picture Academy’s 85th ceremony Sunday, Feb. 24, from Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center.

Since being named by first-time Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (“Smash”) as a surprise choice for the job, MacFarlane has become an Oscar nominee as well: He’s up for writing the lyrics to the “Ted” song “Everybody Needs a Best Friend.”

“In general, we’re trying to make this a more ubiquitous Oscars,” MacFarlane says. “I think that a lot of times, there’s pressure to keep everything about the movies that are nominated that year. While that is a big part of this, we’re also trying to find ways to broaden it a little bit.”

To that end, a salute to the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise will encompass music superstar Adele’s first live rendering of “Skyfall” - another nominee for best song - and Dame Shirley Bassey will croon the classic “Goldfinger.”

Also scheduled is a tribute to movie musicals of recent vintage ... including Oscar’s best picture of 2002, “Chicago,” of which Meron and Zadan were executive producers. And Barbra Streisand will offer her first Oscar performance since her tune “Evergreen” (from “A Star Is Born”) won in 1977.

Hollywood, and television viewers, got a taste of how MacFarlane might fare at the Oscars from his often irreverent mid-January teaming with actress Emma Stone to announce the nominations. He maintains that wasn’t meant as a dry run for the main event.

“I think that’s how most of the press perceived it, but it really was not that. It was something that the Academy thought would be kind of nice, to make that usually dry ceremony a little more interesting. That was really all it was supposed to be.”

Seth MacFarlane hosts the 85th Oscars presentation Sunday on ABC.

a retrospective: 500 years in the making.

This Exhibition Has Been Created By Grande Exhibitions, The Anthropos Foundation, Italy and Pascal Cotte, France.

Every year millions of dollars are spent by art collectors eager to own the world’s most sought after paintings. However, the most expensive paintings are not necessarily the most famous paintings. The most famous ones are generally owned by museums, which very rarely sell them, and as such, they are quite literally priceless. An overview of the 10 Most Famous Paintings of all time, found in museums around the world.

#10 The Birth of Venus

The Birth of Venus is a painting by Sandro Botticelli created around 1485–87. It depicts the goddess Venus (or Aphrodite as she is known

in Greek mythology) emerging from the sea upon a shell in accordance with the myth that explains her birth. The original location of the painting and its commissioner remain uncertain. Some experts attribute its commission to Lorenzo de’ Medici and the Villa of Castello as the site to which the work was originally destined. Today, the painting is held in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

REVIEWERS, ROUNDTAblE

The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.

‘Bless Me, Ultima’*Luke Ganalon plays a boy whose life is forever changed by the sudden arrival of a woman (Miriam Colon) with supernatural healing powers, who has come to his family on a mission of kindness. The woman then inspires the boy to question authority and see the world from a new perspective. (PG-13 - 102 minutes)

Stan: From ‘Shamans’, medicine men/women, to healers throughout various cultures of the history of

‘Snitch’*Dwayne Johnson plays a father whose teenage son is wrongly accused of a drug distribution crime and is looking at a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years. Desperate and determined to rescue his son at all costs, he makes a deal with the U.S. attorney to work as an undercover informant and infiltrate a drug cartel on a dangerous mission. (PG-13 - 112 minutes)

*Screened after deadline.

‘The Playroom’Olivia Harris plays one of four siblings in 1970s suburbia who spend the night telling each other stories in the attic while their parents (John Hawkes and Molly Parker) entertain guests downstairs over the course of a gin-soaked evening during which truths are unearthed and betrayals come to light. Playing exclusively at FilmBar. (NR - 83 minutes)

Joseph: If “The Playroom” would have been a little less interested in imitating 1997’s “The Ice Storm” and much more motivated by weaving its own unique tale of familial dysfunction set in 1970s suburbia, it may have actually been a provocative motion picture. Instead, the new drama must settle for being mildly intriguing. It is also ultimately unsatisfying as it handles the down and dirty details with melodramatic metaphors. However, some may still find it worth watching if only for the profound performances from stars John Hawkes and Molly Parker, the latter of whom played a similar character on CBS’s short-lived series “Swingtown.” (Grade: D)

Continued on page 22...

“Gone With the Wind” (1939) It isn’t easy to narrow down the Academy Award winners for best picture to a tighter list, but it surely must include the forever-beloved saga of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara (Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh).“In the Heat of the Night” (1967) A brilliant example of social relevance merging with moviemaking, this murder mystery explores bigotry through the uneasily paired lawmen played by Sidney Poitier and best actor winner Rod Steiger.

REVIEWERS,

ROUNDTAblE CONTINUED...

mankind, the guilt edged sword of the origination of healing powers as good or evil with the outcome of death to many who practiced and deemed evil.

Writer/director Carl Franklin presents a look, through Rudolfo Anaya’s award winning novel set in rural New Mexico of the 1940’s, with a poignant beautifully photographed view of a young Mexican boy’s (Luke Ganalon) coming-of-age through the innocence of children as he’s mentored by the older ‘curandera’ Ultima (Miriam Colon) who cures physical and spiritual illnesses. As the story unfolds and sides are clearly defined in the village, our own beliefs rise to the surface for reaffirmation as the young boy discovers his path. (Grade: B)

Producer Jason Blum (‘Dark Skies’) By Stan Robinson

Producer Jason Blum is the guiding force behind the highly successful ‘Paranormal Activity’ franchise, his ‘Insidious’ film is a cult classic, ‘Sinister’ is available on DVD on 19 February, and his latest ‘Dark Skies’, opens in wide release on 22 February 2013. Here, Jason shares insight on bringing the latest project to the big screen, and the overall theme of his production company Blumhouse.

“You’re exactly right, projects do come to us in one of two ways, I’m lucky enough to say that this project found me! I really admire Scott Stewart’s work, called his agent and asked to meet with him, and he pitched the movie that comes out on February 22nd!

“I’m going to pretend that you’re me and you’ll know what I responded to when Scott pitched me on ‘Dark Skies’! The way Scott pitched me was that, ‘It’s a story about a marriage that is kind of in trouble, and a family that’s kind of in trouble, and, a dark force show’s its face in the first ten to fifteen minutes, and, its about how that dark force changes the relationship of the family it has to each other, the relationship of the family has to the outside world’, and with that he hooked me!

“We pretty much only do low budget movies by keeping the budget down we’re able to maintain total creative control which to me is the fun part about making movies so most of our movies shoot in L.A., they almost all shoot for about 4 or 5 weeks, and we’re doing about 3 to 5 pages of script a day, and I think that schedule forces the filmmakers and the people who are involved with the movie to focus on what’s important which is an emotional relationship between the characters, and that’s pretty much our mantra.

“I’ve spent a long time working on all different types of movies. I’ve worked on very expensive movies, independent low-budget movies, and when I worked on ‘Paranormal Activity’ it is kind of, and it’s easy to say this now, but I didn’t know it at the time. In retrospect everything fell into place for me, which is, and this is how our company works: there is a way to make movies independently, and have them released by studios and that for me is a lot of fun! And that’s all that we’re focused on now, we have a ‘first-look deal’ with Universal to do that, obviously Dimension is releasing this movie, Paramount does ‘Paranormal’, and Sony FilmDistrict does ‘Insidious’ and so we work with all of the studios to release our movies but we make them on our own. So really, the movies that our company does are really ‘hybrids’, they’re half independent, half studio movies!” – Jason Blum

Writer/Director Ric Roman Waugh (‘Snitch’)By Joseph J. Airdo

“It would be much easier just to be a proverbial sell-out and not worry about being passionate about the stories that I want to tell and just going for the straightforward action movies with the big budgets where you get to blow crap up and you have all of the time in the world. But I am much more attracted to things that I am extremely passionate about - stories that have moral ambiguity to them and stories that put characters into situations that it is not easy to get out of. There are decisions that are going to have to be made that are not black and white.

“With that said, you get a smaller budget. But I would rather roll up my sleeves and figure out a more interesting way to do things and be passionate about the story that I am telling. I wrote this semi sequence and everybody who read the script said, ‘How are we going to pull this off?’ I was like, ‘We are going to take the audience along for the ride.’ This was a mantra that was

It’s Oscar® time, the biggest time of the year for movies. It’s that time when moviegoers as well as moviemakers, and all those in between, focuses on movies. The 85th Academy Awards show on Sunday 24 February 13, 2013 on ABC-TV, is set for a hopeful all time high for viewership with the hope of surpassing last years numbers of 39.9 million viewers.

Along with the awards are the predictions on winners. From the Las Vegas parley odds to those who watch at home with tally sheets in hand, the predictions and projections are part of the ‘buzz’ that make the awards so special. Here are my thoughts on which I think ‘will win’, and whomI think ‘should win’.

‘Best Picture’,the odds on favorite is director/star Ben Affleck’s ‘Argo’, which provides insight into a historical event that was prominent in the news at the time, and has received various awards from both the critics and craft awards alike, and is my choice for the winner.

‘Best Director’ becomes the wild card this year with Ben Affleck not receiving an Oscar® nomination but his film has nominations in seven other categories. I’m thinking Steven Spielberg will win for ‘Lincoln’, which is an extraordinary undertaking on a historical figure in American history. My choice is co-writer/director Behn Zeitlin for ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ and a very moving story of a father preparing his very young daughter for life after his untimely passing.

‘Best Actor’ has Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, fresh from a Screen Actors Guild award as the frontrunner

while my personal choice is Denzel Washington for a very moving portrayal of a character with extraordinary talent as a commercial airline pilot that saves the lives of many of his passengers when his plane goes down and comes full circle as he faces the reality of his alcoholism before an FAA investigation.

‘Best Actress’ has Jennifer Lawrence fresh from a Screen Actors Guild win for her work in ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ while my choice is Emmanuelle Riva as a senior sliding into dementia in ‘Amour’ which is also a contender in the Best Foreign Language category from Austria. A close 2nd is Naomi Watts with a stunning performance as the mother in ‘The Impossible’ trying to save her family after a tsunami hits a vacation resort.

‘Best Supporting Actor’ has Tommy Lee Jones fresh off a Screen Actors Guild award for his role in ‘Lincoln’ while my

choice is Christoph Waltz as the calculating unsung hero in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’. He also won the Best Supporting Actor in the British Academy Awards (BAFTAs) for the role.

‘Best Supporting Actress’ has Anne Hathaway who won the Screen Actors Guild award, the BAFTA award, and is my choice for best supporting actress for her ‘riches to rags’ role in ‘Les Misérables’, a truly remarkable performance of acting, singing, and physical transformation including a shaved head as her character slides into poverty.

So, there you have it, my choices for the 85thAcademy Awards and, the year of 2012 had a wide range of movies covering a multitude of genres. If you missed any of the nominated movies, you have the chance to see many of them via ‘Movies on Demand’. Visithttp://www.indiewire.com/mod-awards-2013 for the list.

passed down to me from my father, a very famous stuntman who just passed away. This movie became a dedication to him as torches are passed down from fathers to sons.

“How many movies have you seen where your eyes glaze over no matter how much they blow up? We put you in the driver’s seat. We put you in the character’s point of view so that you are sensing it. That is what we did with this semi chase. We did it in a way where Dwayne Johnson was never doubled. He is behind the wheel and the cameras are with him. They are inside of the truck. They are inside of the cars that are chasing him. They are inside of the civilian cars. You are watching a sequence where you could be on any freeway in the world and actually witnessing it first-hand, feeling the jeopardy that the characters are feeling. Rather than just watching the mayhem, you are part of the mayhem.” – Ric Roman Waugh

“I didn’t make it to the gym today--that makes five years in a row.”

The gym quote is actually rather pain-ful to me because it really does apply. For almost six months running I went to the “Y’ five days a week for 1.5-2 hours of a balanced workout. All of a sudden, and for no particularly good reason, I became a slacker. It’s quite simple to put things off until they no longer enter your mind at all.

How about when your hard-earned money is on the line? Shouldn’t you raise the bar on self-expectations when it impacts your pocket book? Of course it should. If you’ve been pro-crastinating about learning the basics of your favorite video poker game, then there’s no time like the present to download tutorial software (I recom-mend Dean Zamzow’s WinPoker), grab an instructional book on the topic and learn the key plays for the games you most frequently select.

Software: Practicing your game by using VP instructional software is way easier than working out at a Zumba class--this I can tell you from experi-ence. Once you have the program on your desktop it’s just a click of the button and you’re ready to improve your skills. As I’ve often said in the past, there are many programs on the market, but the ones that don’t show the correct holds either before, during or after the hand is over are virtually worthless to you, the player. What good is it to practice playing incor-rectly?

Classic Games: It’s frustrating to take the time to learn how to play a VP game and then not be able to find it in your favorite casino. Fortunately, the most popular choices in the late seventies (IGT’s Si Redd placed the first VP device on a casino floor in the mid-seventies) and early eighties are still around today. That’s because off-the-wall choices were too hard to play correctly and money quickly went down the porcelain facility. The fastest way for a game to disappear is to have nobody playing--these devices are too expensive for management to allow them to gather dust. Some of the long-term survivors are: Jacks or Bet-ter (JOB), Bonus Poker (BP), Double Bonus Poker (DB), Double-Double Bonus Poker (DDB), Full Pay Deuces Wild (FPDW), Not-So-Ugly Deuces Wild (NSUD) and Loose Deuces Wild (LDW). Make sure the software you se-lect has most if not all of these iconic games.

Learning Modes: Tutorial software should offer several learning options so you can the select the ones that work best for you. Here are some examples.

Warn: If you make an error a message box will pop up indicating the de-gree of the statistical mistake (major, moderate or minor). This is the mode I use since I want to see if I can make correct holds without help.Auto Hold: The software automatically holds the correct cards. Visual learners like this technique because seeing the correct plays helps their retention. If you don’t comprehend why it’s correct, then go to the analysis option and you will see the statistical data that makes it accurate.Show: The software will show the cor-rect holds after you play the hand and you will know immediately whether you played correctly. Some people feel rewarded by knowing they played the hand correctly after each game.Test: If you make a mistake the soft-ware will show the correct holds and you can either continue or make the change.

Analysis: It is important to understand why holds that don’t make sense to you are statistically accurate. That is why good software will have an analysis section that can be accessed any time and will give you the numeri-cal specifics for a game, any hand or a session.

Changing Pay Tables: Make sure you can change pay schedules on your software and that it will indicate both the expected return (ER) as well as the variance (risk factor) for any version of a game. Also, you will want to have all classic games, some to be found in any casino offering video poker, along with a “user defined” option for some non-traditional games.

Final Thoughts: When I was a high school math teacher one of my student’s least favorite adages was “once begun, half done”. It didn’t keep me from over-using the expression, though, because it’s too easy to pro-crastinate and later berate yourself for doing so. The best time for becoming a smart player is right now, so what are you waiting for?

Linda Boyd ,a long-time table game player before turning to video poker, writes also for “Southern Gaming” and “Midwest Gaming and Travel” her book, “The Video Poker Edge”, includes free removable pay schedules and strategy cards for the most popular games. Look for her story in the 2012 Edition of “American Casino Guide” (ACG) and her You Tube video, also with ACG. The 2010 Second Edition of her book is available in both paperback and kindle.Available at amazon.com, bookstores or Square One Publishers www.squareonepublishers.com Toll Free: 877-900-BOOK

FOOD CONTROVERSY 101!Food is definitely something the whole world

is interested in, and there are a wealth of quirky, controversial, but always curious facts surrounding it. We jumped head first into this information soup, and here’s a smattering intro to some of the more interesting stuff we found, the cream of the crop!

Reporting earnings of 6.5 billion last year, Nestle also makes pet food! Yes, they’ve had their share of controversies in the past, however they remain the biggest food and drinks producer in the world.

In 2007, poultry meat production was higher in developing countries than in industrial ones – 49 million tons, compared to 13 million ten years before, accounting for about 60% of worldwide production. The methods behind this kind of production madness provoke many questions, and are often quite controversial.

Ever wondered which city in the world has the most expensive hotel meals? That would be Tokyo for dinner, Sydney for lunch and Madrid for breakfast! Don’t say we never gave you help budgeting for your international eating plans.

BIZARRE BREAKFASTS FROM AROUND THE WORLDWe all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Those great whole wheat brain-boosting agents and early morning chomps on a hard-boiled egg gives us more energy than sugary cereals, this is true. But what do our foreign counterparts eat in the morning?

While a diseased corn-on-a-cob or a bowl of piping hot crab porridge might not sound appetizing, around the globe these unusual foods are regulars on the breakfast table. As food experts predict that Brits will broaden their breakfast choices in the next 10 years, seeking influence from our foreign brekkie eaters, our beloved fry-up could soon be toast to make way for more exotic dishes like savoury crab porridge, seaweed flakes, and fishy breakfasts.

CHINA: CENTURY EGGSHow do you like your eggs in the morning? The Chinese like theirs wrapped in a mixture of clay, salt, ash, lime and rice. The result? The yolk turns green, and the egg white is almost black. The texture is creamy and gelatinous with a pungent odor. Getting hungry yet?

JAPAN: CHAWAN MUSHIJapanese wake up to a bowl of steamed eggs and dashi seasoning, giving it a silky, custard-like texture. These are topped with shiitake mushrooms with added chicken or kamaboko (a mixture of cured white fish and starch).

MEXICO: HUITLACOCHEThese odd-looking corns are a regular food served on Mexican breakfast tables in omelettes. This corn with a twist is technically ‘diseased’ corn (yes, really) and the fungus that grows from it is considered a delicacy among Mexican breakfast eaters.

Spores infect the corn, turning it black and giving it a mushroom-like flavor.

JAMAICA: ACKEEJamaicans feast on a plate full of ackee fruit (which resembles scrambled eggs) and white fish. Although this seems like an innocent breakfast, the ackee is actually poisonous if not prepared correctly.

“The second season, I felt like, ‘Oh, I was just there.’ And they still referred to my character a lot. It wasn’t like, ‘I don’t want to watch

this,’ but it was still a little bit painful. The first season of that show was such a special moment in time.” – Emma Bell of “Dallas” on TNT, about continuing to watch AMC’s “The Walking Dead” after she left that show’s cast

If it seems as if you are seeing an awful lot of Anne Burrell lately, you’re right. She’s on three Food Network shows – “Chef Wanted With Anne Burrell,” “Worst Cooks in America” and “Secrets of a Restaurant Chef.”

Her friendly face, surrounded by an electric cloud of platinum, is rather ubiquitous these days.

“I know it is getting to the point where I am almost sick of me,” she says. “I have gotten texts (containing photos) from friends, one of a billboard, one on a taxi. I was in a taxi yesterday, and there’s me. And I open Entertainment Weekly, and there’s me. I am everywhere, and I am tired of me. I walk into the airport bathroom, and there is me in the mirror. I am just happy it is a good picture. It is super exciting and thrilling and wow!”BY JACQUELINE CUTLER

WINE, WOMEN AND HORSES

Turf Paradise is betting on the good will of the community as it seeks to help abused and neglected children. For the third year in a row Turf Paradise is holding its Wine, Women and Horses event with proceeds benefiting the Child Crisis Center.

The second annual Wine, Women and Horses event held last year raised more than $30,000.

This year’s event is Saturday March 2nd and tickets are on sale now. You can buy them on line

ChildCrisisCenter.com

Registration is 11am. The event runs from noon to 4pm and features:

• Lunch

• Goody Bags

• Raffle Prizes

• Hat Contest - 1st, 2nd, 3rd Cash Prizes

• Lots of Horse Racing Action

Sponsored tables are also available. Contact Serena Simms at [email protected] or (602) 375-6403. We are seeking in-kind contributions as well.

The Child Crisis Center is dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect through a wide range of services which include an emergency shelter, adoption and foster care and a family resource center. 

Turf Paradise Director of Corporate Sales Serena Simms said, “As a longtime Phoenix business, Turf understands the need to give back to the community, especially in these difficult economic times.” 

The season goes to May 7, 2013 with live racing Fridays through Tuesdays. Turf Paradise opened its doors in 1956 and has operated at the same location (15th Avenue and Bell) ever since making it Arizona’s first sports franchise.

Round and round it goes;And where it stops;The wine always flows.

The above prose – and idea behind it – is something all Valley wine lovers who visit the Scottsdale iPic will be signing as they leave.

That is because the luxury movie destination, already known for its ultra-premium recliner seating options, in-theatre wait staff, in-house nightclub Salt and adjoining full-service restaurant Tanzy, is gaining new fans through its unique take on reds, whites and pink varietals – by offer-ing them to guests via cleaver “wine carousels.”

Conveniently located next to the upscale snack bar and just steps from Tanzy, iPic has inno-

vated two circular towers, each holding more than a dozen brands of wine. Each bottle is prominently displayed – also in the round – behind protective glass, but the iPic team makes sure both the fronts and backs of the bottles are clearly vis-ible at all times, pleasing both those who love to see the front bottle art and those who want to learn about the wine, its origin and winemakers, often detailed on the backs.

Now, these circular displays – affectionately nicknamed the wine carousels – were devel-oped so that those wishing to do so could peruse current op-tions by the glass and pick and choose which wines they want-ed to bring into the theatre. An added benefit is being able to read the back of the bottles at one’s own leisure, rather than asking for recommendations from busy snack bar staff, as

a line of hungry people grows behind you.

However, this wine tasting lover is seeing a totally differ-ent benefit from the carousels – a new take on wine tasting altogether!

You see, the brilliant minds behind the towers did some-thing very special when in the development phase – they al-lowed for each featured bottle to offer one, five or eight-once pours to guests at the touch of a button. For anywhere from $1 to $3 or so for a one-once pour – price varies by brand – movie-goers can sip and savor as many varietals as they wish before and after their movies.

And, with so many options, tasters circle the towers over and over again – truly making it feel like being on the merri-est merry-go-round ever.

Even better, avid iPic-goers are rewarded with new brands to taste making their way into the carousal on a regular basis. Current “hot brands” in the round include Once Upon a Vine, Stark Raving Mad, Co-nundrum, Rose’n’Blum and many more. If choosing by varietal rather than brand, current options include Char-donnay, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Toscana, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Red wine blends, White wine blends, Pinot Gri-gio, Riesling and even Moscio-filero

For more information, please visit Ipic.com.

Wine is good for your health:With 100 calories in a 5-oz glass, wine is a fat-free and cholesterol-free beverage that contains all 13 minerals necessary for human life. Perhaps this is why over half the hospitals in the metropolitan areas of the United States offer alcoholic beverages to their patients. Or why in the United States Pharmacopeia, alcohol is listed as a medicine.

Hope you are all enjoying Arizona Beer Week. To help celebrate we thought we would look at several popular beer myths and help debunk them.We compiled several of these from across the world for your enjoyment and education.

MYTH #1: Draft beer is better than bottled beer FACT: It depends on the bar

With properly maintained draft lines, beer from the tap is the freshest you can get. But not all bars keep their lined maintained, which can leave your pint polluted with unwelcome microbes.

“A draft system is not a sterile situation,” says Dave Glor, German-trained brewer and field-quality

analyst for New Belgium. Bacteria like pediococcus and lactobacillus produce diacetyl, which makes it taste like somebody shot movie-theater popcorn butter into your beer. And you know that vinegar-like aroma you sometimes smell in dive bars? “That’s acetobacter,” says Glor. “You smell it because it grows on dirty bar mats, but it can grow in dirty tap faucets, too.” And when it does, it spills into your cup and makes your beer taste too acidic.

The lesson here: If you don’t trust the bar—or if you have reason to suspect that it doesn’t maintain its draft lines—order a bottle or can. That will keep you from drinking an orgy of beer-loving bacteria.

MYTH #2: Beer causes a beer belly FACT: Moderate beer consumption poses no serious threat to your belly

It seems that whoever coined the phrase “beer belly” had a vendetta against beer. “Excess calories from beer are no more likely to contribute to weight gain than excess calories from anything else,” says Christian Finn, MS, CSCS.

In a 2011 review of 31 studies, researchers concluded that only binge drinking was associated with weight gain. Moderate alcohol use appeared benign, and some studies even found that moderate drinkers were thinner on average, regardless of preferred beverage.

Still worried about beer’s carbohydrates? Fine, but worry with perspective: A typical 12-ounce beer has a carb load similar to a glass of

wine—roughly 10-to-20 grams—and according to a 2009 study, it also contains roughly 2.5 grams of barley-derived fiber. That puts beer on par with a slice of whole-wheat bread. In the world of vices, that’s pretty tame.

MYTH #3: Dark beer is heavy FACT: Not Necessarily

Actually, couldn’t be further from the truth. Color in beer comes purely from the grain used in its creation, with darker beers containing more toasted or roasted barley malt and paler beers containing less or no darker malts. And roasting malt doesn’t make it heavier or more caloric.

MYTH #4: Wine is more complex than beer FACT: Au Contraire

Wine is a fine drink and the complexity

and nuances of a truly fine zinfandel or sauvignon blanc are easy to see, but how can a drink made from a single ingredient, grapes, be necessarily more complex in flavor than one made from water, yeast, malt and hops and an almost limitless diversity of other ingredients? Ever find coriander or cumin notes in a wine? No? Well, you can in a beer.

MYTH #5: Beer and fine dining don’t mix FACT: Maybe we should have saved “Au Contraire” for this one

With its wealth of flavors and finely nuanced characters, the world of beer has a style to pair with any food, from the commonplace to the extravagant. (See Myth #4 for more on this.) The reason we tend to place wine at the table rather than beer is because that’s

what the French do, and the western world learned much of what it knows about fine dining from the French.

MYTH #6: Beer is full of preservatives and other junk FACT: You should check some of your other food labels

Some know-it-alls will tell you that beer is loaded with additives and preservatives. The truth is that beer is as all-natural as orange juice or milk (maybe even more so - some of those milk & OJ labels will surprise you). Beer doesn’t need preservatives because it has alcohol and hops, both of which are natural preservatives. Beer is only “processed” in the sense that bread is: It is cooked and fermented, then filtered and packaged. The same can be said for Heineken.

MYTH #7: Beer is high in calories and carbohydrates and loaded with fat and cholesterol FACT: Not so much

For a completely natural beverage,

beer offers serious low-calorie options. Twelve ounces of a typical stout has the same number of calories as 12 ounces of skim milk: about 125. That’s less than orange juice (150 calories), which is about the same as your standard, “full-calorie” beer. If beer were your only source of nutrition, you’d have to drink one every waking hour just to reach your recommended daily allowance of calories (2,000 to 2,500). And nobody’s recommending you drink that many. The only natural drinks with fewer calories than beer are plain tea, black coffee and water. Surely, beer is loaded with those fattening carbohydrates, right? Wrong again. The average beer has about 12 grams of carbs per 12-ounce serving. The

U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance is 300 grams of carbohydrates in a standard 2,000-calorie diet. In other words, you would need to drink an entire 24-pack case of beer - and then reach into a second case - simply to reach the government’s recommended daily allotment of carbohydrates. You’re better off munching an apple or drinking some soda pop if you want to carbo-load. Each has about 35 to 40 grams of carbs - three times the number found in a beer. Also, beer has no fat or cholesterol.

MYTH #8: A good beer must be high in alcohol FACT: Any beer can be great

Many people unfairly associate low alcohol with low flavor. There are plenty of poor quality beers that are high in alcohol content, and the opposite is also true. Some of the famous Belgian and German beers have traditionally high average alcohol content – perhaps 8% or 10%. However, the alcohol content is only one feature and doesn’t necessarily account for the good taste. In England, many of the best mild ales have alcohol content of 4% or less – resulting from a higher tax on stronger beer. Of course, the advantage is finding good-tasting, lower alcohol beers is that you can drink more of it! American brewers are experimenting more and more with low alcohol full flavored beer in order to create a more sessionable product.

MYTH #9: Bottles are better than cans when it comes to storing beer. FACT: Cans are actually superior storage containers

It is easy to see where this one comes from. Just look around: cheap beer comes in cans; expensive beer comes in bottles. But wait a minute. Sunlight affects beer. Left too long in light, beer can become “skunked.” Skunked beer is the result of a molecule in hops — isohumulones — that breaks down in light, and the broken-down version of isohumulones resembles the stink molecule release by skunks. Glass bottles let in light; cans do not. Brown bottles do a pretty good job of keeping the light wavelength that skunks beer out, but that only delays the skunking process. Can let in no light, so the beer cannot skunk.

As for a fear that cans might impart a metallic flavor — also NOT TRUE for most modern cans. There is a coating that keeps the beer from touching the inner aluminum. You can test this by having someone pour the same beer from both a bottle and a can and taking a blind taste test.

There you have it, nine beer myths from all over the web debunked, hopefully for good. Now get back to Beer Week. Oh, yeah, one more freebie, Ben Franklin never said “Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” You can look that one up yourself.
