Pretty funny! It's pretty rare, though. I can tell you from exprience that beer trucks get a great deal of deference from the other drivers. I don't know if they are doing it out of respect, or if they assume the driver has been sampling the wares!

That's Dutch beer, the Germans were probably just throwing it out!

I was working in Dresden, Germany for a couple of weeks, and saw something similar. My hotel was in the center of town, had to drive about 10 km outside daily. On the way back one evening, a beer truck was pulled over to the side of the road, with minor damage, but the back had popped open. It looked roughly the same. The funny thing is that just beyond the truck there was a 6 car pile-up! Looks like the first guy in line saw this as an opportunity to be a good samaritan and save some unopened bottles from certain death, and slammed on his brakes without looking back!
Going in to work the next morning a lot of my German friends were laughing and crying about it, showing both their sense of humor and reverance for the dearly departed. We had a little wake after work, perhaps with some of the survivors (the brand from the disaster was accurately remembered by all).

Now, before I go any further, let me state for the record that there are exceptions to what I'm about to postulate, but has anybody noticed that there seems to be a decided gender barrier among beer lovers? I've known some gals that could tip a cold brew with the best of us guys (God love 'em), but beer appreciation definitely seems to prevail more among the guys. I've always wondered if it was a cultural thing or a genetic one. Any theories?Comment

Yeah I have a theory...call it something with a "chick" name and more women would drink beer.
.
Shortly after I turned 21 I could sure hoist a few with the best of the local area farmers that I knew. And more than likely out drink them. But now after about 14 years and 13 yrs of marriage and 3 kids, oh and working a graveyard shift where I have to deal with "drunks" all the time. I don't drink very much. I usually sleep.
Speaking of beer has anyone heard of the new Budweiser beer. We are now carrying it at my store, its "clamato"? I have it in the 24 oz cans and the 16 oz. 6 packs...I am not brave enough to try it.Mrs. Wallnut a.k.a (the head nut).Comment

It's budwieser and clamatoŽ premixed. apparently it was too complicated to concoct on its own.
