Or on the ramp.

That's fine for some, but some of us that are either real power drinkers or else have a small useful load can't carry enough beer. So, the chair is the lighter option.

Well, until now, that is...

Then again, just take one of those handy little plastic milk crates some of us use to pack gear for loading in the plane, and just turn it upside down and set it on the ground against a tree. Been there and done that many times when hunting. Works pretty good except some folks might start calling you "Waffle Butt".....

I really enjoyed that. Good find.

I heard about those guys a while back, apparently they made a big stink in Britain by releasing that beer, and were accused of being something like "reckless" as far as brewers go. I wish I could get my hands on some.

I understand there will be a supply in the Pacific NW. Seattle and/or Portland. Priced around $56.00 per bottle.

These guys crack me up, I've been following them for a few months. I stumbled onto them when I was in one of my bitter moods during the health care debates searching for "nanny state".

BrewDog had come out with a beer named Tokyo* with an ABV of 18% which at the time was the highest alcohol content of any beer in Britain. The alcohol regulatory agency ordered all of the retailers to pull the product from the shelves due to the following message on the label: "It is all about moderation. Everything in moderation, including moderation itself. What logically follows is that you must, from time to time, have excess. This beer is for those times."

In retaliation, BrewDog then came out with a batch of beer with an ABV of 1.1%, an amount so low that it wasn't legally considered beer and wasn't subject to regulation. They named it Nanny State.

After that, came Tactical Nuclear Penguin at 32%. That stole the crown for highest alcohol content from a German brewer named Schorschbrau. In response, Schorschbrau released Schorschbock with an ABV of 40%. Brewdog's latest beer, named Sink the Bismark, has recaptured the title with 41%.

I think even the Alaskans and Canadians wouldn't need a chair after downing a couple of those!
