Elephant

[ehowton]

Sometimes there's an elephant in the room no one wants to tackle directly. Labor Day weekend there were six. I grabbed the elephant by the tusks, so to speak, and laid that formality to rest, one at a time. It was during one of our frequent trips to Wichita when I stopped at my favorite world-beer store and asked one of the very knowledgeable staff if they could think of a crisp lager that had an "ZOMG!punch" to it. I wasn't in the mood for a heavy or dark beer at the time, yet I wanted something more powerful than flavorful. He suggested Carlsberg Elephant and within each bottle I found both.

I hadn't seen it since.

Until Labor Day weekend, here at Newton Discount Liquor.

When there's so much to say, but no one to listen, talk to the elephant in the room.

That is an awesome label! I will take your word on the fact that is an awesome product as well, given that I have not had the opportunity to partake.

And your photo? Outstanding! I admire your artist's eye.

I have traveled around the world and at each destination have attempted to sample the culture of each country through beer. Its an inexact science, but interactively worthwhile :)
