For many years, a portion of aged brew was blended with freshly brewed beer to give a sharp lactic acid flavour.

	Liberties Press Liberties Press (also known as Liberties Media Ltd) is an independent book publisher based in Dublin, founded in 2003. The company's first publication was Con Houlihan's now-classic collection of sportswriting, ''More Than a Game'': the title was reprinted twice in a matter of weeks. Under the stewardship of founders Peter O'Connell and Seán O’Keeffe, the press initially published only non-fiction titles, many by significant figures in the worlds of politics, journalism and the arts. O'Connell left the company in 2009; following his departure, the press was significantly reorganised, and the focus of the publishing programme was shifted, with more emphasis being placed on fiction and, to a lesser extent, poetry, alongside non-fiction. Liberties Press hit the headlines in 2012 when it announced plans to publish ''When We Dance'' by Melanie Verwoerd. Businessman Dave Kavanagh filed an injunction to prevent the book from being released. Kavanagh alleged that he was defamed in the b ...

picture info	Year Of Birth Missing (living People) A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
