Man used machete to clear up beer debt
Edmonton Journal ^ | July 20, 2010

A machete-swinging man in Windsor, Ontario took four men hostage and threatened to hack off their limbs after he came to collect a debt and they didn't have what he wanted -- a 12-pack of beer.

Police say the people in the apartment owed the man a 12-pack of beer and when he came to collect the debt and didn't get what he came for, he began threatening people in the room with the machete.

No one was injured in the ordeal. The 29-year-old man was charged with three counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of breach of recognizance. © Copyright (c) The Edmonton Journal

That’s some good beer, eh?

I wonder home many people are already hard at work branding “Machete Beer”.

Would make a great “plot” for one of those snappy Budweiser commercials.
