Kent????

WEST BEND, Wis. - Authorities are hoping to break up what must be quite the party after beer thieves made off with almost $26,000 worth of suds from a delivery truck.

A semi trailer loaded with cans and bottles of Miller beer was stolen from a trucking company in Richfield, according to a Washington County Sheriff's Department report. The trailer was found four days later — sans beer — at an Oak Creek trucking firm.

The trailer had been dropped off at the Millis Transfer Co. sometime on Feb. 17 for delivery to a beer distributor in Menomonie, authorities said. Later that night, the trailer was discovered missing.

Yeahbut, as they say on FARK. It was Miller Beer.


There was a note to send the bill to Big Enis.

No, I'm with Mike. It was only Miller If it were a fine ale or stout, it would be a tragedy.

Agreed, but I didn't say it was a tragedy (hijacking a truck full of Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ale would be a tragedy). I just said someone could have a nice party (if they don't mind drinking yellow fizzy beer).

"Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'..."

I wasn't in Wisconsin that day and I can prove it. And even if I was, I wouldn't steal that swill MBC makes.

When I lived in Oregon, our slugs wouldn't even drink it...they held out for Redhook ESB.

There wre times in college when we were poor that $1 each from me and my four roomates could buy a case of Old Milwaukee 16 oz. On those nights Miller actually did seem like the "Champagne of Beers". Yeah right. What were some of the others? Oh yeah, how could I forget Schmidt's of Philadelphia. Guaranteed a rat per 1000 bottles. At that time, Yeungling was in that category.

What was the worst beers y'all drank?

Life is too short to drink cheap beer.

Before I understood that truism, I discovered Kroger Cost Cutter beer, in the yellow can. Someone claimed that PBR made it. It tasted worse.

O.B. (guess the country)
Dixie (it was home, but that was some naaaaasty stuff)

What was the worst beers y'all drank?

Early 60's in college in Boston. Old Clyde. It was something like two bucks a case and you were guaranteed to get a headache before you finished the first can. But it WAS cheap!

Are you implying you never got some E & B (cheapest in the state) from that drive through beer store in Ann Arbor (I forget the name)?

I college I was so poor we made our own beer. Our best batches were "almost drinkable".

DOUGH... the stuff... that buys me beer...
RAY ..... the guy that sells me beer...
ME...... the guy...who drinks the beer,
FAR..... the distance to my beer.
SO...... I think I'll have a beer.
LA...... La, la la la la beer
TEA..... no thanks, I'm drinking beer...
That will bring us back to...

It was a very good beer

OMG, I can't believe I forgot about the "oat beer" a friend and I tried to make way back when using the horse oats... LOL!!! (The horses liked it!)

Man, am I getting old. Nowadays a sixpack of diet rite does me in.

[Skip Miller]

What was the worst beers y'all drank?

Hull's Export, brewed in New Haven, CT. ...but it was cheap!

Second to worst: Stella Artois. in 1966 it was Bad Belgian beer. I don't know if the stuff they import now is better, but if not the Belgians are laughing at us like crazy! I won't try it now, unless you are buying and you won't buy anything else.

Pearl, Lone Star, Budweiser, OB, Hite, Red, White and Blue, Hams, and Falstaff

What was the worst beers y'all drank?

Narragansett. So bad, it's good. And every can better than the last.

(GITMO beer doesn't count, due to its restricted availability)

That didn't exist when I was there. I was into 6-packs of Rolling Rock for 99 cents from Campus Corners.

I college I was so poor we made our own beer. Our best batches were "almost drinkable".

Didn't start making my own beer until I came back from England and had too much trouble finding good ales. My new brew system arrived recently, and operation awaits the plumber's hook-up of water and propane.

And here I've got a couple of cases of beer left over from last night's dinner party (Shiner, Heiniken, and some kind of "light" pi$$water). Good thing it keeps.

 

[Fast n' Furious]

I can account for my whereabouts during the heist. It was very far from that semi full of "not really beer" beer. Maybe it was used to sluice out a large septic tank or sumthin'? Would ya really notice?

You know you're right! I saw some people drinking it and saying how good it was, so I ordered a Stella Artois. I swear it tasted like Scmidt's! Actually I think Schmidt's was better.

OK Stegmeir and Gibbons were pretty bad too.
