Don't forget the purity laws. You have to make sure the beer is really clean before you pour wine and cola and egg and jagermeister and worcestershire sauce and clamato into it.

Sort of the opposite. Rich people using more expensive grains than barley that people would normally eat, and the monasteries holding monopolies on beer making via secret gruit recipes and stuff. Bavarian beer laws were more about maneuvering nobility/church politics and shaping the food supply via policy.

And I'm not kidding about how for the British loving Boston felt like a sunny paradise until the winter hit:

Yeah I get drinking good beer not at freezing but basically until White Claw and similar drinks came out a Coors Light that’s been sitting in ice is basically alcoholic water with a little fizz that’s great for getting a light buzz after you’ve done some yard work. And I don’t like White Claw so those beers are still what I drink for that purpose. But I guess if you live somewhere that you do all your yard work in 50F/10C then you don’t need that.

Not true. I've seen them chop off pieces of my sausage and fly away with it.

Also, at least for the Danish regular fuckers, what you want is to slowly move a knife onto them and cut them in half while they're sitting. No sudden moves before they're pinned.

Look at all you assholes pretending that a cold cheap beer grabbed from a plastic cooler during a Memorial Day weekend or 4th of July party isn't loving awesome. Is it a class thing? Maybe you all are trying too hard to look cultured?

There's different types of beer. The mild tasting ones are perfect for drinking in large quantities at parties and work as refreshment on a hot day. The dark, thick, artisanal stuff is best enjoyed slowly, at room temperature, either in a centuries old pub, or while sitting next to a suburban hipster dad talking about his homebrewing podcast.

remember when the UK was almost dissolved over an average US summer heatwave last year?

it's usually cold and damp over there so drinking cold beer is like eating ice cream in winter to them. They need to chew their warm drinks down with their standard diet of cigarette butts and gutter drizzlins

There's a difference between what would likely instantly kill an insect which could potentially cause a serious and long-term disease, and cutting a harmless insect in half leaving it to agonisingly die over a potentially long time frame.

I'm sorry that isn't immediately clear to you.

There's a sliding scale between stepping on ants and toasting them with a magnifying glass, and slowly bringing down a knife to trap a wasp and saw it in half is absolutely on the magnifying glass end

Wasps aren't harmless, they gently caress up everything and bees could do better without them.

'Cutting bugs in half slowly' is definitely somewhere up the gradient from 'slapping a mosquito', in terms of sadism. It's certainly nowhere near 'drowning cats in a bag' but it might be a stop on that journey.

But who am I to talk? I've used chemical weapons on hundreds if not thousands of ground wasps. I'm sad now. :(

When I was a teen I went to Germany and got blasted on Raddlers (cold, light beer mixed with Sprite or sometimes lemonade) and let me tell you, they were delicious and made it much easier to drink enthusiastically while controlling the buzz zone.

I hate hot weather but that was a riot.

Yeah, shandies are all over the place in the US, and these beer smoothie things are starting to gain favor (I’ve loved the ones I’ve had, but I sort of feel like they’re homeopathic medicine beer; aka a drop of lager is added to each keg of fruit slurry. By the same logic my kitchen counter is temporarily beer whenever I over-pour).

Woah, you do the actual cutting fast, you just make sure not to spook it while moving in. You can even squash it afterwards with no risk. Way better than those traps where they slowly drown in sugar water, both ethically and dinner enjoyment wise. If that makes me a psychopath, so be it. I think killing aggressive venomous insects is acceptable.
