What A Waste Of A Good Thing

[Pennywise]

...who ever did this should be hunted and beat down

[James]

that makes me sad:(

[mapleleaf4ever]

A moment of silence in memory...

[Clayton.]

Hey atleast it wasn't Kokanee.

[Grapes]

Have you ever tried Grolsch? It's fucking rancid.. that picture is a thing of beauty. We once had some at a party and choked it down for whatever reason.. a little while later we ran into a european guy, and trying to be all cool we mentioned that we'd had Grolsch the other day. European guy goes:

"oh.. ya... hmm, that ees the Dutch beer I think... umm... it ees not veddy good, I am thinking....."

[Clayton.]

To bad it's not American beer.

[Grapes]

Hey Clay, lets become vigilanties that attack shipments of Bud Light and Coors.

[Clayton.]

Crusade against bad beer.

[Erin]

I wish it had been bud.

King of beers my ass.

Quality of beer aside, that may be the happiest stretch of asphalt in the world.

[t-skywalker]

thats just plain out fucd up!!!!! yummmmmmmm...beeeeeeeeeer

[cubed]

I'd have to disagree with you dave.

I'd consider myself pretty well learned in the art of beer.

I have to say, I like Grolsch.

It's a nice light beer that can easily be substituted for my cold green bastards.

[Sykonee]

Gave Grolsch a go once. Found it to be like Heineken, only went to my head a little more. Not much of a fan of the heady beers. They make me too sleepy.

PS: Speaking of wastes of a good thing, cubey, did you manage to rescue much from your bottemless carpet?

[Grapes]

Come to think of it, I think the particular bottle of Grolsch we drank was left outside of the fridge for a long time. Next to a radiator.

[gnosis]

Anheuser-Busch is a brewery brought to AhmeriKKKa with Third Reich connections.
They make shitty beer; Budweiser.
Funny how the United States of Fascism has _so_ connected with a beer with such a totalitarian background.

Beers like Grolsch, Amstel, and Heinekin often get the rep, here in Canada, for having a "distinctive" skunky taste.
Some people think that's natural, and the way imported beer tastes.

They couldn't be more wrong!

These beers _are_ good, when drank FRESH!!! Like they should be!

These same poor sods, who equate skunky beer w/ European brews, have never been outside of Canada to experience these fine beers for the great taste that they offer, as intended.

Beer, by nature, will "go off" within 3 months of bottling.

Now, consider that these brews are bottled, put into boxes, stacked in a warehouse for at least a week, before being allocated for shipment.
Then, they're shipped, via truck, to (for sake of argument, Canada) to a port city.
There, they fallow for days, before being loaded into a container, then, waiting longer before being loaded onto a freighter for overseas travel.

Therein lies another week+ before transcontinantal arrival.
Allow for another week on the docks.
Allow for a further week for transit, via truck to a distribution warehouse.
There, it will sit for another week+ before it is distributed to an individual licenced retailer.
Where it may sit for another week+.

The above equation does not equal 3 mos, but, most often the time between bottling and consumer is that if not more.

Time=skunky beer.

The same scenario goes for Sol and Corona, and pretty much any other imported beer.

You want good beer? Drink freshly-brewed beer!
And that usually means locally produced brew!

That pic made me sad...never had that beer but still...it's beer!

[Pennywise]

[crookedking]
