So, I am in a meeting with a bunch of people at work and someone says, “Oh, I hear you have a new employee starting on Monday” and then proceeds to ask for a new project to be done within a week when 3-6 months is a more realistic timeframe for the work involved. I’m like “WTF!” and my head explodes and I am filled with rage and think I am going to black out and then I remember I have a bunch of Genesee Bock Beer at home that will make all the pain go away. And not just because of alcohol’s usual sweet answer to all of life’s problems, but because the can is so adorably cute there’s no way you could be angry while pounding a bunch of them.
Even the meanest drunk can’t stay angry with that cute little goat and flowers on the can!
The beer is a dark amber and at $7.99 for a 12-pack it is surprisingly good. Â Not knowing what makes beer bock, I used the interwebs to check it out on The Wikipedia. Turns out Bock means goat in German, Roman Catholic monks drank it, and Martin Luther allegedly drank it during the Diet of Worms. I have no idea what the hell that is, but it sounds awesome and makes me want to read Judy Blume books.
Mmmm. Goat brew.
Nice Judy Blume reference. Well played.
It’s down to $6.50 per 12-pack. The best value in cute drunkeness going short of Hello Kitty’s Wax Bottle Jager Shooters!
I am glad someone appreciated my reference to Judy Blume’s book Freckle Juice, an homage to Martin Luther’s little-known freckle fetish.
I just bought six cases this morning at $8.99 per case. The beer is very good, and the cans are cute!
