Some of you may have felt the crunch of the economy and noticed that your beer belly has gotten a little smaller as a result of the economic crisis. If that’s the case and you’re wondering where your hard-earned beer belly has gone, it looks like you won’t have to worry much longer: the Walgreen’s drugstore chain is unleashing “Big Flats 1901” --Walgreen’s very own beer brand.
A six-pack won’t set you back quite as much as those other “quality” beers that aren’t made and distributed by drugstore chains; a six-pack of “Big Flats 1901” will only cost you $2.99 for a six-pack, which is unheard of in this day and age. Why drink an expensive micro-brew when you can drink cheap beer that you got at your local drugstore?
Think of the convenience: when you are picking up prescriptions for your children or shopping for a Mother’s Day card for your grandma, you can pick up a six-pack to enjoy in your man cave or with your fraternity brothers. If the convenience isn’t enough to sway you, think of the bragging rights alone: it’s almost guaranteed that none of your drinking buddies will have drugstore beer.
With the price so low, it doesn’t matter if the beer doesn’t taste quite as nice as you would like it to-if you drink enough, it’ll probably get the job done. After the third six-pack, you’ll hardly notice a difference at all. When you get around to drinking the fourth six-pack, you’ll be so happy that you spent less than `12 bucks on that much beer. A case is only $11.49 so you save almost 50 cents if you plan in advance.
Another advantage to the Walgreen’s beer is that it’s a low-quality beverage, which means that “Big Flats 1901” is perfect for drinking games like Beer Pong and the 100-Club. You probably won’t get too drunk because I don’t think the alcohol-content is all that high, and if you spill the Walgreen’s beer all over your Beer Pong table, it’s no big deal because the beer is so cheap.
I know I probably sound like a Walgreen’s marketing director because I am so excited about this product, but in all honesty, Walgreen’s paid me nothing for this endorsement of their new beer.
When you get a chance to try it out, let me know how easily it goes down (or comes back up) so the readers have more information about the new beer.
