Roll Out the Beer Barrels

Beer is a relatively inexpensive beverage.  I can recall, back in 1975, a 12 pack of Bud costing $3.15 at the local convenience store.  Of course I really wasn’t supposed to be purchasing beer in 1975, but things were a bit different then.  Beer is still pretty cheap to purchase, overall, but in Norway, the govmint thinks beer is too cheap.

“Norwegians rushed out to stock up on beer on Friday after authorities ruled it was too cheap following an unprecedented price war in a nation used to some of the most expensive alcohol on earth.”

  1. Bah… Brew yer own, avoid the taxes.  It tastes better, it’s cheaper, and with a little practice you can make it any flavor you like.

  2. There is a lot to be said for home brewing your own beer.  It is not that difficult.
