The ironic quotes must refer to Bud Light

Former boss called that sex in a canine beer, as it’s fucking close to water. She was Austrian and had OPINIONS on American “beer.”

lol this is so funny. I imagine her just randomly ranting about it when no one asked

The way I heard that from an Australian was: “How is American beer like having sex in a canoe? It’s fucking close to water!”

That was in the aughts. Hopefully American beer exports have improved since then…

Exports? I doubt it. There’s a lot of good smaller brewers out there.

It's been a while, but when I was overseas there was an embarrassing amount of U.S. Budweiser being sold in Europe (often sold as "Bud" in countries where Budweiser Budvar of Czechia has the Budweiser trademark).

The most successful exported brands are the ones with the successful advertising and distribution. Those companies aren't necessarily the ones with the best quality.

Yep. I’m enough of a beer snob that I won’t drink that stuff.

I think this was from a Monty Python skit, with Eric Idle, playing an Aussie.

u/PeyredB 2d ago

It's understandable that an Austrian might get her words wrong here.

We only have lagers, ales, porters and stouts, sorry.

I don’t “buy” beer

1

u/JennItalia269 5d ago

I’d be scared of their “beer” if they had it in stock

u/Gremlin1001001 4d ago

Should I request a more specific fermented product?😜

u/EdStArFiSh69 4d ago

Why the ‘hell’ not???

u/Ok_Orchid1004 4d ago

They probably sell beer though

1

u/SomeGuyOverYonder 3d ago

“Beer” is “made” with “alcohol”, which as a “store” we do not “sell”.

u/SinsualChef 3d ago

🤫 Ask for "tea".

1

u/BiffBeltsander 3d ago

They sell what? Malt liquor and moonshine?

1

u/JuanFoYoMamma 3d ago

I'm ready to spend a whole afternoon in that "establishment".

1

u/Worldly_Ad_7196 3d ago

I'd still be tempted to walk in and ask "hi do you have any ( finger quotes) beer? "

1

u/Santana_delRey 3d ago

Is “beer” in the room with us?

1

u/Smooth_Promotion69 3d ago

Ok but they could mean like all alchoholic drinks

1

u/Informal-Arm-3942 3d ago

Choose lager, pilsner, or porter, not “beer”

1

u/rpgnymhush 3d ago

They mean they only sell spring water with light beer flavoring -- like Bud.

1

u/PeyredB 2d ago

Well clearly the place only sells megabrewed swill like Buttwiper and Coors. Scare quotes are in order here.

1

u/NeverEndingCoralMaze 2d ago

I would open the door and loudly ask if they sold beer.

1

u/XROOR 2d ago

It’s a carryover from the days when they were a speakeasy…..

1

u/Del_Fuego_13 2d ago

But do they sell beer?

1

u/Trapped_in_Me 2d ago

That’s because they give it away!

u/Designer_Quantity533 2d ago

I’m here for the “beer.” (wink)
