The War on Beer (ZOT!!! Try Our Delicious Troll in Beer Batter)

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A state senator wants to force Missouri stores to sell warm beer. Under a bill by Sen. Bill Alter, grocery and convenience stores would risk losing their liquor licenses if they sold beer colder than 60 degrees. The intent is to cut down on drunken driving by making it less tempting to pop open a beer after leaving the store.
"The only reason why beer would need to be cold is so that it can be consumed right away," Alter, who has been a police offer for more than 20 years, said Thursday.

Well, it seems to me that Budweiser has chosen to follow the advice of Tzun Zu:
Be like water.

Actually...all American beer should be sold warm so that when people drink it they will actually taste it. The reason why you have to drink it cold is because the chill numbs your taste buds. It seriously offends me...home brew rules!

Everyone at 8:00 on Friday night (tonight) pop open a beer in retaliation of this stupid proposal. If you think I am waiting till 8:00 pm tonight, you sir are sadly mistaken.

When I attended Mizzou there was a store with a huge sign off I-70 saying Liquor Guns Ammo. I hope the state hasn't changed.

"There is no reason other than ease of immediate consumption that stores sell already prepared food. It must be stopped!"
Well, there are those who eat their foods raw. Food sales are to be altogether prohibited.

funniest thing I've read this week...could make it into a country western song, a la Johnny Cash..."I chugged a Bud in Reno, just to watch it die...when I see that bottle empty, hang down my head and cry..."

Some places around me you pay extra for cold . Never really thought about the reason, but I'm guessing it's because they can. You need it in a hurry you are willing to pay the premium. That and it costs them money to keep it cold.

That was what I had assumed in the past, but the conspiracy theories popping up here make me think. Dangerous. Might have to do away with the cold ones in the garage tonight.

Bathroom is behind the corner, and the door is marked.
