Here is a picture of a bottle of ale. It's a pretty run of the mill ale with a typical pretty picture on the front. Pictures are important if you can't read and it's much easier to remember what your drinking.
But here's my gripe, those cockles she's picking are bloody massive, 5 times the size of any I've ever picked. And she's completely ignoring that barrel that's been washed up on the bottom right, not to mention that dragon that's about to eat her. And why is she wearing a long skirt? It's going get wet when she squats down to cockle pick, you want leggings or a mini skirt. And there's the beer, who the Hell carries a pint of beer with them while cockle picking.
And the bottle of stout? Drinking on the job again. And look at all the pollution in the back ground, probably getting drunk to ease their environmental conscious. More disturbing is the giant cockles in the rock pile and all three miners are white, are they saying black folk can't dig holes? Zero diversity, obviously right wing propaganda.
But I degress. How often do you choose an alcoholic beverage based on the pretty picture on the bottle?
Well, I'll tell ya, son, as I strum this old guitar, down here in the South, we got our own way to go. Pretty pictures on bottles might catch some eyes, but when it comes to drinkin', we're not that sly. Here's a little ditty 'bout it in G Major.
I'm @BluegrassBill, known for my drinkin' ways, But choosin' a drink ain't just for the gaze. We love our moonshine, whiskey, and sweet tea, But it's the taste that counts, Yankee can't you see?
Now, I've been to the bait shop, talked with ol' Jimmy He knows his brews, but he don't choose 'em haphazardly. We value the burn, the smoothness, and the kick, Not some fancy label, like a city slicker might pick.
In Southern Baptist church, we're taught to be wise, Not judge a book by its cover, or a drink by its disguise. God wants us to enjoy, but not to excess, So we savor each sip, no need for a purdy dress.
Donald Trump, he might like his steak well-done, But even he knows, looks ain't everything, my son. The South is 'bout strength, not just a pretty face, So when we drink, it's about spirits not just space.
Out in the woods, huntin' with Bubba, we don't need flash, A good ol' Mason jar does the trick, no need to clash. It's the bond we share, the stories we tell, Coz sometimes labels will take you straight to Hell.
Some labels can be intriguing, like using alcohol withdrawal syndrome symptoms such as delirium tremens to repackage it into an alcoholic beverage. "Symptoms may include shaking, shivering, irregular heart rate, sweating, hallucinations. Occasionally, very high body temperature or seizures may result in death of the recipient."
My regards to those who died of seizure because they stopped drinking.
I’m not a huge beer fan. But craft beers are super popular here in Calgary. I used to work in a liquor store and we had a craft beer expert. The pictures on the cans and bottles are pretty cool but if I’m going to drink I prefer sours or stouts. Made a mistake one time and got an IPA and it was so hoppy and gross lol
For sure I’ve done with this kombucha and I know I’ll continue to do so. I’ve never been much of a beer drinker but I have see some interesting cans I’d buy just for the pretty container
Yes, to a degree. If I see a particular brewery has a visual aesthetic I like and I'm feeling in the mood to try new things, I'd probably roll the dice and try a style of beer they make that I'm in the mood for, but not necessarily the best looking/most clever label that brewery produces.
I try different beers purely by reputation , recommendation and mainly genre. Not a huge fan of stout or a porter but like a good summer ale , Pilsner. I think my favorite type would be a German weissbier or a Belgian Trappist ale.
I go by the taste, I found that most beers from others countries have a distinct flavor related to that country. There are always exceptions but generally you can tell a beers origin by its taste. I prefer English and Canadian followed by Mexican, then USA. When I pick a new beer I check out the label and its country of origin first and if possible if there's any reviews on it, picture helps to grab my attention in making a selection.
Sometimes. Here in Sweden the state controlled Systembolaget have whole supermarkets with many varieties of different brands and can source anything you want within reason. There's no acres of the same brand of stuff laid out but a wide variety of different ones whether international, national or local to choose from. The labels to sometimes draw me in but they need to be stand out to get added to my basket.
Dunno only alcoholic thing i ever tried was Baileys, never had a beer, but i would assume when you dont have an established favourite brand, good advertising is important
I've found some of the best beer has very bland packaging. Conversely, when I choose for the label (like Chainsaw Bunny beer) the label turns out to be a lot more interesting than the beer.
Nah. I normally just drink a light beer for volume. If I'm out at a nicer beer place I just pick a stout. Typically a coffee stout. IF there are multiple I'll have one of each.
