The Last to Post-2nd Edition - Part 3

[franandaj]

Are you serious?

Why would I not be? I don't understand what potato fields and distribution centers have to do with Manhattan Markets and why people wouldn't be able to go shopping over Memorial Day weekend. Our markets are open usually even on Memorial Day. I guess you must live in a small town and everything rolls up the sidewalks on Friday evening for a Holiday weekend.

I lived in a place like that in Central CA, it was He!! but then there were places that still sold beer at almost all hours of the night.

An all in LAST.

I'll see your LAST......after page 250

......The New York Stock Exchange market isn't opened.....

 

[usnuzuloose]

Just look at my tag it says it all

 

[PrincessInOz]

Don't mind

and me. We're just off on a tangent.

Near me are fields where barley is grown. It's the largest source of barley for Budwieser. Of course the closest Bud brewery is 10 hours away. While in LA they brew it probably within 50 miles of Long Beach. So you mark up the cheap commodity, and mark up the expensive product. So you can probably guess where Bud is cheapest before taxes.

Hanoi?? Cheapest beer in the world is in Hanoi....so I'm told.

Possibly. But is that because of it's local market, and is that for Budwieser brewed in the US?

 

[PrincessInOz]

I think my friends had been around the world and just comparing prices of how much beer cost per litre. So, a very small selective sampling!

Liters of beer are very expensive in the US. Because we drink things in Ounce measurements. So usually liter beverages or 750ml or 333ml come from Europe.

I had a freind talk about how to join the EU packaging had to fit standards and it made all of the beverages look wierd for a while.

I don't know how to break this to you.....but the US is about the ONLY country left still in imperial measurement. Most of the others have gone metric.....

But where beer if concerned...we buy it by the glass or pot, pint, jug or keg. The stubbie or bottle of beer is somewhere in-between the pot and the pint. And then we can get the stubbies in a slab!

I'm well aware that the US uses English Units, and it tricks me when I hear a Brit talk about miles.

But I wonder if your keg is the same size as my keg? I know the pints are the same.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Well...the kegs are 50 litres ....

 

[skiingfast]

Well...the kegs are 50 litres ....

now that I think of it, foriegn beer kegs are smaller.

 

[PrincessInOz]

How large are the US keg sizes?

 

[skiingfast]

How large are the US keg sizes?

Only a bit bigger, probably 10-15% more.

I looked it up. A US keg is 58.67L

 

[PrincessInOz]

That's a few pots more!

 

[PrincessInOz]

So, what are you doing this weekend? Seeing the kid(s)?

 

[skiingfast]

That's a few pots more!

For some reason I don't think it is because we drink that much more.
