I've never had Elephant beer. I know my dad likes it. But I may buy some today if hubby's on board! :D


I was stationed on the Danish side of the U.S Thule Air Base in 1953. Because we were 4 Danish families there with our wives and kids, we were socializing with many U.S. officers. One Army captain we liked would disperse his driver to pick us up and bring us back to the Danish village. I served the driver one Elephant beer and he was not able to drive back to Base before he slept for a couple hours. The soldiers were only allowed to drink the regular Danish beer, Tuborg and Carlsberg on Saturday nights!
The Americans would get us "loaded" with Scotch and Wiskey, but we would nail them serving them Danish Snaps = Aquavit!!!

LOL Yikes! Well then that definitely rules me out of buying Elephant Beer. I am the lightest of lightweights, and drink very rarely. I don't want to end up in a simulated coma to enjoy a drink.
