Why is the UK Out to Get Me?

[brighty18]

So far tonight I've broken two bottles of beer - from two separate six-packs - both because the bottom just fell out of it.  WTF, Newcastle Brown Ale?  Why the breakage?  Why is the UK out to get me?

Maybe there's a ghost in the bar!

Ah, New Castle. Between that and Corona, I had bunches of waste.

I wondered if you of all people would comment. I've always had trouble with Newcastle, but never yet with Corona - and, trust me, we sell shit tons of Corona. Stella Artios is prett bad, too.

I think half the issue with Corona had to do with our supplier. They tended to drop cases, resulting in broken beer.

I hate broken beer so damned much! Our supplier of Mexican beers is actually pretty good, but that's because he's a local boy, so it's his stash, too. LOL. But I totally get what you're saying. One or two bottles break and then there's liquid damage and the entire case is compromised.

Newcastle really does have bad packaging, though.

I could joke about the shoddyness of work up north but then my mother's family are all from the north so I'd be insulting myself.

LOL.

Wow, they sure are trying to get you :P
