The 100 Year Old Beer Goes Walkabout
You guys remember the 100 Year Old Beer right? If not, click the link and refresh your memory. If you never knew about him, click the link and find out about this long term acquaintance of mine.
You all caught up now? Good. Let’s proceed. When I wrote about my fermented friend before, I had a plan to drink him with my bigger (quite often fermented) friend Rich one day. Well, as you probably know, my traitorous liver has now rendered that plan moot. So I have a new plan for him. Before I tell you what it is let’s see how he’s looking these days.
He looks a bit different now. He grew a porn stache and even though he is not a Canadian beer he told me he identifies as one. Who am I to deny that, eh?
So since I can’t drink him anymore, I’ve decided to take him walkabout with us in the Leelander. No cutout pics for us, nope. We are going to take pics of THYOB at all the places we visit in our travels. I even promised to take him to the great white north. When I told him he got so excited he almost popped his top. Now that would have been a tragedy! Once he managed to keep his libatious liquid under control, he did this…
Whoa there buddy! Let’s pump the brakes on that idea! What am I talking about? You can’t even reach the brakes! Let’s leave the driving to the #1 RVidiot (Ari) or the #2 RVidiot (Mrs. Ari). You ride up here…
There ya go. You ride up right there with Arnie the Armadillo. Who’s Arnie? Oh, I’ll tell you about him some other time. Stayed tuned for the adventures of THYOB and Arnie!

While I applaud the commitment of keeping a beer alive for this long, the fact that it’s a Pabst made it undrinkable in the first place. The mere thought of consuming this geriatric abomination in the future makes me shudder.
🤢
Haha! It is some nasty stuff. Did you read the backstory? A single broke dude didn’t have a lot of options.
I doubt they’ll let you drive into Canada if they see that beer wearing a Canada maple leaf hat. Sacrilege!
True that! But in this day and age we aren’t allowed to shame anything. Shouldn’t that apply to a poor pathetic excuse for a beer with aspirations?
I admire your teeny, tiny hoarding tendencies. You could always pop the top, “bronze” the tab and wear it on a chain to have as a joke between yourself and yourself. Or, if Rich doesn’t know about the missing can, you could fake another one and have it be a joke between yourselves. Either way, it’s a lovely keepsake honoring 14 years of dedicated service! (On the part of the beer).
It’s actually been 17 years now since I wrote that first post in 2017. I do like your idea of keeping the tab on a chain when he finally gives up his life liquid.
Lee,
I think your beer guy is adorable. In a few more years, he’ll be old enough to drink himself. Wait. What? I think that came out wrong! Anyway, does beer guy have a favorite song? I nominate the Cars “Shake It Up.” Have fun on the road, my friend!
LOL! That was funny! When he turns 21 I’ll show him cannibalizing one of his own kind. It’ll have to be a lower quality beer but I’m not sure there is one! Love The Cars and love that song suggestion. It’s great hearing from you. How you been? We are going to be in Texas for a while when we head out next month.
We’re all trying to keep ourselves intact; for whatever that’s worth! Texas, huh? First week of June and we’re having at least a week’s worth of high 90’s in the forecast with little to no chance of rain. Even so, it’s still muggy as hell. But hey, you know what you’re getting yourself into. Mona

Well, I’m late to the party but I see there’s one beer left…yeah, I’ll leave THYOB alone, although I would like to chat with Arnie.

Ha! I’ll let you chat with Arnie when we roll through Memphis. You can even drink THYOB as long as you let me film it of course. 🍺🤮
