You can make beer from pretty much anything that ferments. So anything with a natural sugar content. Spuds, bread, fruit, berries, honey etc as well as obviously grains.

Lots of foods have small amounts of alcohol. I went through a fad of tracking my nutrient intake a few years back (key learning - it is fucking impossible to get enough fibre) and was surprised to discover my daily tally would often have 0.1%* alcohol or whatever.
*It would frequently be 40%+ also.

Kyle Walker has been wearing the same shinpads since he was 16.
They were given to him by Irishman Derek Geary, who played for Sheffield United when Walker made his debut. Geary gave him the pads as a memento of his debut and Walker has wore them for every game ever since.
Finglas native Geary played for both Sheffield clubs, over 100 times for Wednesday and just shy of the 100 for United. He is the current United Academy Manager. He was called up by Stan once but had to withdraw due to injury and never got another call up.
