Beer (was Worst Jokes At Oshkosh)

My economics prof claimed that American beer companies were the best
marketing
success story there was. He said that, prior to the 50s, nearly every city
with a
population over about 30,000 had at least one local brewery. By 1965,
however,
advertising had convinced most people that nothing made outside of
Milwaukee was
worth drinking, and nearly all of the small breweries disappeared.


There isn't much made outside of Wisconsin that's worth drinking today.

And, ironically, the big brewers have mostly left Milwaukee.

There is a very good beer called Shiner Boch and it is made in Texas.

I started liking their beer. This is close.

Agreed. It's not bad for a lighter beer.

That would be "Bock" and I agree it's quite nice.

"Lighter"? Good God man, most Americans consider it rather heavy-ish
(although Porter and Stout are both heavier). Perhaps you are thinking of
Shiner Blonde (one of my favorites)?

BTW, hope you like the package.

Uh oh. Should I open it under water?

I took the Miller brewery tour last month. Seemed pretty big to me.
