The Number One Beer

Oh my God, yes. I remember the Green Death. I recall having a six pack when I was 17 or so and needing directions from my next door neighbor to find my way home.... She was sitting on her front porch!
 
I also remember a Black Label brewery right in Natick, Mass. I think it's an ice cream plant now....
 
All this wonderful reminising and we still haven't ID'd that #1 beer.

Hey Paul,
 
The article didn't say what the #1 beer was?  
I have to say that my favorite cheap beer is still Pabst Blue Ribbon.  It's the most fun you can have for $4.99 a twelve pack.  HA!!!

I think even my old college newspaper editor would have fired a journalist who wrote an article like that.  I understand he probably wrote it for the Benelux market, and that his main interest was on the local brews,  but to fail to even mention the name of the winning beer when he already wrote that local beers  took 2nd & 3rd is really asinine and a big no-no in journalism.  If your writing elicits an obvious question out of the reader ( who won #1? in this case) then it is your job to report on it if you have the information.  Just goes to show you there's incompetents in every field, and that goes for the editor too...now WE gotta go crazy guessing it...and Paul ( the Bad one) will not sleep well again until we do...

That just means one thing;
 
More field research! I'm sure I can round up a group of volunteers to help me with this.......

Sure thing Roger!
 
As long as it involves drinking, ooops, field research. Yeah, that's it, lots of field research. That should make for some pretty funny e-mails ;)
