- The only thing weaker than Ootah beer is O'Doulle`s (or however the
- hell they spell it -- I never drink it!) Pussy beer? No pussy I know
- would be caught dead drinking this beer...it sucks big time.
-
- Actually, the law is 3.2% (I can never remember by weight or by
- volume). Funny thing is, all the beer companies make this crap & the
- population here has to be under 2 mil, & with the predominent religion
- claiming 70% of the state, that means 600 thou is the max number of
- beer drinkers. Is that a reasonable market segment to market 3.2%
- beer to? Must be...go figure!
-
- Funny thing is, years ago when the popular thing to do was to take a
- little trip to Evanstan, Wyoming, to buy your beer, some ignernt
- (Ootah spelling) gov't official had the state chemist assay non-Ootah
- beer & found the average to be just 3.8%. Now, the state chemist, no
- doubt a good-standing member of the predominent local religion,
- concluded it was foolish to drive all the way to Wyoming to buy your
- beer; the rest of us non-good-standing non-members concluded it was
- foolish to put a 3.2% limit on beer that was mostly 3.8% anyway. But
- you know who wins those kinds of battles.
-
- So, the best conclusion is that somewhere else is the best place to
- ski, since the beer there is bound to be better. Besides, we have
- crummy snow this year, & Idaho doesn't really exist!
