Beer is renowned for its properties as a social lubricant but proves disastrous when used as industrial grease. Learn more about its applications with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a two-year subscription to The Beer Connoisseur magazine (up to a $40.66 value).
Published quarterly, The Beer Connoisseur writes about brews in a sophisticated, in-depth manner on par with wine or fine-dining periodicals. Browse articles focusing on culture, prominent brewing personalities, and more, making the magazine ideal for expanding hoppy horizons or granting the ability to turn up one's nose in a drink debate and balance erudition on it. Past page-turners have profiled new New York festivals and described the rise of craft brewing.
The two-year subscription also includes two years of The Beer Connoisseur online, giving perusers access to a comprehensive beer-learning center and the ability to unlock arcane knowledge on cooking with beer and achieving the most harmonious food-and-brew marriages. The Beer Connoisseur keeps customers informed of beer tastings, beer dinners, beer festivals, and special events that are hosted by the magazine.

The Groupon Guide to: Dinner with the President
Ever since he lost a bet with the Supreme Court, the president has begun taking every American citizen out to dinner. Here's a guide on how to behave when you finally get your state dinner:
- Stick to polite dinner-table conversation topics, such as "What's your favorite country?" or "Do you get free trips to Disney World?"
- Be sure to wish the vice president good night when his 8:30 p.m. bedtime arrives.
- It's considered rude to order the same kind of steak as the president. But if the president does not order steak, it is your responsibility to subdue him until the real president can be found.
- When the president asks you to pass him the potatoes, politely remind him that he's not the president of dinner.
- Wear a tie. He'll like that.
