I have no idea, all that I know is that I do!

Beer is also known as vitamin B and as everyone knows, we need our vitamins!

Nothing goes down like a beer after a sweaty hot day of chucking freight or flying turkeys around. There is no mix or ice to worry about. Just a simple twist of the wrist.

Beer in large quatities is good for the weight and balance.once you don't need the balance you can piss it out.

Pilots love beer because after half a dozen or so we forget how shitty the pay is, how badly we're treated, what shitty hours we must keep, how we haven't got a pot to piss in, how we all fight for the free food samples in Costco...I'd love to go on but it's time for a beer!

Beer is better than women
A cold beer is a good beer.
A beer is always wet.
You can have more than one beer in a night and the other beer won't get mad.
You can share a beer with your friends.
If your beer goes flat, you just toss it.
A cold beer will never leave you for another beer.
When you are finished with a beer, you can still get money for the container.

How many of you hard working pilots have tried Labatt Sterling? I love it!

An old friend I used to work with did a little singing/songwriting on the side. As he put it:

I hate my job, I hate my life
I hate my kids, I hate my wife
I hate the Queen, I think she's queer
The one thing I don't hate is BEER

OHHHHHHH

They ought to put a medal on whoever invented Beer
Hold a holiday in his honour, have it each day of the year
They should even build a statue, to keep his memory clear
Oh, they ought to put a medal on whoever invented BEER

And it is so much more than just a breakfast beverage! Like the sign over a bar I used to frequent said:

Low carb beer is for sissies. If it means that I spend another 15 minutes on the cardio equipment at the gym for flavour in a good beer than I drink good beer.
My wife brought home low carb Sleamans once, almost caused a divorce. If I wanted watery beer I would move to the states.

I think the best beer goin is "50". You can always be sure it's NOT sold out when you go to get it, and you can drink it ice cold out of a fridge (if you're that rich) or fresh off the back seat of your car in the summer. Just a perfectly rounded beer.

Bandaid - being a medical kind of guy, how come 12 oz of beer converts to at least 24 oz of pee. Never fails.

Beer and I have a really good understanding of one another, so it's easy to enjoy.

I tried a Sterling the other day (somebody gave me one, can't turn down a free beer), pretty mediocre. I thought Ultra was better, in the same way the internet @ 28.8 is better than 14.4. I think I'll stick to pure gold from the heart of BC, thanks.

I think Mr. Tom T Hall said it best in his classic song "I like Beer"

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

(chorus)
I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(he likes beer)

My wife often frowns when we’re out on the town
And I’m wearing a suit and a tie
She’s sipping vermouth and she thinks I’m uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by

(chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love beer
(yes, he likes beer)
