OT: Beer Larceny

[BBfanboy]

Someone stole a semi-trailer load of beer in Delta BC (a suburb of Vancouver). The beer was Coors Light, so the question is "Why would they bother?" [:'(]

- they needed an ingredient for a new "beer shampoo"?
- they wanted to wash down their ride and make it smell "good" to attract ??? cowgirls???
- they wanted to water the plants at Butchart Gardens and kill any slugs around?

- other reasons? (your turn) [;)]

When I was in college some of my fellow collegians thought that Coors was the only thing there was. Adolph wouldn't ship it to Missouri because the refrigeration in transit wasn't reliable or some such bs. So these guys would make field trips to Coloroado to get some and drag it kicking and screaming back to Missouri. I didn't really understand it but PBR was bribing whomever in my fraternity was in charge of beer, so we only always had PBR on tap. If you think you've ever had a hangover but haven't had a PBR hangover, you don't know what exquisite pain that entailed. So, Coors vs. PBR. Which circle of Hell do you want to end up in?

Mr Gorn,

While I respect the PBR hangover, too much Soju in 1982 Korea resulted in an ice-pick through the top of my skull for the whole next day. The thought still makes me a little nauseated...

Never again, that evil; but I've found others less malicious.

They wanted the Aluminum cans.

It was obviously stolen by women

Did the ice pick improve your TV reception? [;)]

It's for a Super Bowl commercial. There's a contest to make a truckload of beer (NOT).

For the good of the nation.

You guys are snobs. Beer is beer even if it is "girlie beer" it remains beer. Beer is good. Beer is food. What more can one ask?

[Lokasenna]

Since we're indulging in pointless stereotypes...

Coors is pretty much the opposite of girlie beer.

Back in the olden days there was only one "western beer" and that was Coors. A classmate of mine hitchhiked way West from New London CT one long weekend just to get some. Wasn't worth it then, it's not worth it now. Hate to bring you up to date so suddenly but there are a bunch of western beers now. As a transplanted "Eastron" I surely will manage without Coors (unless my host offers up some for free).

Because diet beer IS awful. And WHY would someone in Canada steal AMERICAN beer in the first place. Maybe some of the craft stuff, but the mass produced Canadian beer is in a different (BETTER) league than Bud/Miller/Coors/Etc.

Proof - factually -that the "best type of beer" is:

1) Free

2) Free and Cold

3) <<insert preferences here>>

Back in the day, for me, Anchor Steam was the beer to be chased west of the Mississippi. You had to go pretty far west of old muddy to get it though, all the way to San Fran. Coors was meh.

[jbdenney]

The movie "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977) was based on running "bootleg" Coors beer from Texarkana to Atlanta in less than 28 hours to get around the ban on shipping Coors east of the Mississippi.

A fun movie - but to me personally I cannot stand beer. The smell reminds me of standing down wind of a horse barn.

Soju? Try makkoli. Didn't usually get up the next day.[:D]

And there is Carlsbad "Elephant Beer" which I sampled (rather significant sampling I'm afraid) back in '69. An ice pick in the skull may have felt quite nice the next morning. Instead I arose early the next morning to serve as a messcook when we put to sea. While the whole crew slept practically all day I got to suji the various fixtures of the mess deck. I will never forget that hangover or fully remember the night before.
