I'll stick with a realistic wish (though maybe it's not so realistic): Weltenburger sorts out whatever the hell the issue was the Lickbow had with their packaging, and the Asam-Bock gets included in one of the seasonal or special releases. I think it had something to do with the way the bottles were...

OH MY GOD.

Inflation. Slices of pizza run in the 3's or 4's of dollars now too. Fuck modernity.

It's actually pretty good from the can. Tastes like a totally different beer, extremely fruity.

No joke here. It's actually a good canned beer.

Guys come on, seriously. Beau's home delivery is not nearly socially responsible enough to pass the grade in Ontario. We are a very socially responsible place. That's why we have no homeless people or inequality, let alone children drinking booze! Think of the children! We have fucking standards her...
