And right around Oktoberfest, too. I question the timing of this.

Actually, American beer tastes fine. The problem is that there are a lot of malted beverages in American that are misleadingly labelled as beer. The primary exemplar of this is Budweiser, which, containing rice, is not beer, but is marketed as such to the ignorant.

I'm selling my beer stocks as I type this. I am distraught at the thought of high priced beer coming our way, I mean, what will us rednecks do now, and how can we drive our pickups if there is no beer left? And what will we throw at the stop signs now that we ain't got beer bottles and cans anymore? This is terrible news!

Sierra Nevada makes a tasty porter. Very tasty.

I think I will have to get some tonight on the way home.

The supply of skips and jumps was said to be unaffected by this recent event as they are kept in cold storage.

My doctor told me that I don't get enough hops in my diet.

>>Busch's fault.

Yeah they foisted Coors Light on the world. They need to be brought before the World Court to pay for their crimes against humanity.
