Earlier this summer I went to the liquor store to get something cheap to cook bratwurst in. (Gotta boil them in beer and cut-up onions before grilling 'em, you know) I asked the store guy for something appropriate (and if I got Miller or Bud my Dad would come over and drink it all when I was at work
) He went in the back and got me "Boxer Beer" which I had never heard of before, and was $4. For a CASE. He also cautioned me several times not to drink it!
He said he got it for the summer music fests going on, because "Those damn kids'll drink ANYTHING, and I don't want to waste anything good on them."
My Dad did try it, and said, "Yep. Tastes like beer." Jeez, Dad, you lived in freakin' Germany for years, for god's sake, why do you drink this piss water? "It's just beer, son, you're not supposed to ENJOY it." He aslo said that all the guys he worked with in Germany drank Czech beer when they wanted "cheap stuff", and it was the best stuff he had over there. Of course you couldn't get it here, and it'd probably be really old by the time it got here anyway.
