A coworker brought me a beer [Stützengarten] back from Switzerland. Should I drink it at work?

Yes.

Oops, it is actually Schützengarten.

posted by sciurus 14 June | 08:49

I don't care if it's Schtuppenfarten.

DRRRRINNNGGG IT!

posted by jonmc 14 June | 08:49

Most certainly.

It has some Swiss Guard looking dude on it who has propped his musket on a dowsing rod and is gripping it firmly.

Are you drinkin' yet, pal?

posted by jonmc 14 June | 08:56

It isn't quite beer-thirty.

You wait to drink? You pee standing up or sitting down, son?

(caveat: Half the time I sit down to pee these days. For the rest. I'm getting older. It also helps me avoid drunken misfires into the sink)

I had some fancy cocktails last night and complimentary all-you-can-eat sushi, so I'm waiting to drink until at least beer:30.

What a very cool little logo! Yeah - beer:30's best.

The Swiss word for beer glass is Bierglas. I can get a Schützengarten Bierglas for 10-Franken-Note. The Bierglas has that Swiss Guard looking dude on it, playing Fussball in full regalia.

10-Franken-Note.

This sounds like monster currency stiched together from other bills and reanimated by a mad currency broker.

Apparently, in Switzerland beer falls from the sky! [and bombs and poison]

So this is what lager tastes like when it doesn't make you belch all gross-like...

Final Verdict: Guinness is still better.

I had a Guinness last night and it was delicious.

Look, a gift beer. In the mouth!
