Well, I consider myself to be quite the connoisseur of terrible domestic beer and possibly the most overly patriotic person this side of Uncle Sam, but even I was floored last weekend. I was at Big Lots looking for some flip flops. Normally, not my favorite footwear, but try lacing up boots every morning when the dog drops a deuce at 6:15 am. I was walking down the aisle, when I saw this –
I looked and saw this amazing product. Four beers – TALL BOYS, for two bucks. Two bucks and made in America? I suspected a terrorist to have a basket over this beer like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but I checked my six and realized I was in the clear. Here’s what the can has on it 1) The Pledge of Allegiance. 2) The Iwo Jima image of the Marines raising the flag. 3) A flag pattern. 4) Freedom is not Free. 5) Peace through Strength. 6) Support out Troops. 7) United We Stand. 8) Even more, I can’t type anymore, I have to pound one of these freedom juices!
Crack, and down the hatch. Did I just hear a bald eagle scream? (In fairness, I hear that a lot, I have an active imagination/onset of insanity) Hmm. Not as good as thought…wait a minute, I normally drink Busch Light. Then I realized this fine company participates in the VFW “Return the Favor” campaign, which helps out vets in financial need. Holy shit, this is my new favorite company. I now realize I must drink five times as much to help out our boys overseas, which works out for everyone, except for anyone who has to be around me. Ol’ Glory beer, you have made my week!
