HAYWARD, Wis. – Shoppers in a Wisconsin grocery store got an unexpected surprise when a 125-pound black bear wandered inside and headed straight for the beer cooler.

The bear stopped Friday night at Marketplace Foods in Hayward,..

It calmly climbed up 12 feet onto a shelf in the beer cooler where it sat for about an hour while employees helped evacuate customers and summoned wildlife officials.

Hey, what’s a Bears fan supposed to do in Packer country except to get comfortable and crack open a couple of brewskis. I hope it wasn’t Wisconsin beer he was consoling himself with...(Miller, Old Style, Hamms, etc.)

B-double E double R U-N beer run

all we need is a ten and five-er,
a car and key and a sober driver.

A couple of frat guys from Abilene
drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
at the KPIG Swine and Sworea Dance.
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants.
They wanted cigarettes, so to save a little money they bought one off this hippie that smelled kinda funny.
And next thing they knew they were both pretty hungry and pretty thirsty too

They found a store with a sign that said
their beer was coldest.
So they sent in Brad ‘cause he looked the oldest.
He got a case of beer and a candy bar, walked over to where all the registers are
laid his fake I.D. on the counter top.
The clerk looked, and turned to look back up and stopped.
He said “Son, I ain’t gonna call the cops, but I’m gonna have to keep this card”
the guys both took it pretty hard.

oh how happy we would be-
had we only brought a better fake I.D.

They met another old hippie named
Sleepy John, claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song.
So they gave him all their cash-he bought em some brews.
Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
They were feelin’ so good it shoulda been a crime.
The crowd was cool, and the band was prime.
They made it back up front to their seats just in time to they could sing with all their friends “the road goes on forever
and the party never ends”.

Is Hamms still on the market? I don’t see it advertised on TV anymore, and I failed to take note during my recent visit to Minn/Wis, being partial to Bud.

Store workers say the bear seemed content in the cooler and did not consume any alcohol.

Just chillin' after huffin' a doob, I guess. Wait, it left the Twinkies and Doritoes alone. Never mind....

I really don't know. I doubt it, though. Though not a big beer drinker, I'll usually by Linenkugel. But having grown up in Southern Wisconsin, Hamms, Schlitz, Edelweis, Old Style, Pabst and others are very familiar to me.

Yeah, doesn't it? I downloaded it just to have. Those were some of the best commercials on the air back then, IMO. Entertaining, which many commercials of the time weren't. And wasn't it Hamms that had the big, lighted, signs in taverns of forests, lakes and camping? The ones that simulated water movement? Memory makes me believe they were the ones because the theme went along with the commercials.
