Only fair. That’s what beer becomes in just a short time.

As Archie Bunker used to say “You can’t but good beer; you can only rent it”.

Well some people I know are particular about their beer. And they are not shy about saying that they don’t like certain beers, and that those beers taste like p#”:’.

I used to go to Newark on business and drink in a bar near Budweiser. Whenever anyone ordered a Bud, someone would say those words.
