BAKER LAKE, Wash. — Agents from the department of Fish and Wildlife in Washington found a black bear sleeping off a major buzz, with three dozen empty cans of Rainier beer close by.
“This is a new one on me,” Sgt. Bill Heinck said. “I’ve known them to get into cans, but nothing like this.” While a drunken bear is a bit unusual, the most unusual part of the story is what the bear left behind. “He drank the Rainier and wouldn’t drink the Busch beer,” Mount Baker campground employee Lisa Broxson told NBC News.
“It definitely had a preference.”
Employees confirmed the bear tried one can of Busch beer, but ignored the rest.
Irritated by attempts to get it to leave, the bear climbed a tree and went back to sleep. Workers eventually used donuts, honey, and two more cans of Rainier to trap the animal and take it to another location.

I wonder if Rainer will use this as advertising? “The beer bears prefer.”

This is hilarious! I bet Busch does not find it amusing!

Would a wild bear piss in the woods?
After 36 beers you bet your ass!

The best Rainier I ever had was at Crystal Mountain at the lodge on top of Green Valley. I stowed the beer in a snow bank in the morning, skied until lunch, retrieved the beer, and drank it in the sunshine looking across at Mt. Rainier.

I called on the Hamm’s brewery in St. Paul for many years.
It was the only beer I could not drink...
