I went to my local bottlo on Friday, which just happens to be a Dan Murphys, and I was looking at their craft beer range trying to see if I could find something new I hadn't tried before.
I passed over the KISS beer without even picking it up for a look and was standing there when an employee walked up to me and the conversation went like this.
DM: Hi mate can I help you at all?
Truman: No thanks Im right, Im just trying to find a craft beer you stock that I might not have tried yet.
DM: Oh okay well let me see if I can suggest something thats worth trying. Here what about this have you had Budwieser before? (picks up a stubby of bud)
Truman: Umm no thanks not really into that.
DM: Well its a very popular craft beer in the USA. So it must be a good drop. What about this one (Shows me something called Budvar and tells me its the European version of Budwieser so its also a great beer as its made in Czechoslavakia, where beer was first invented.)
At this stage I was trying my hardest not to say "Are you for ******* real??"
Instead I said...Mate they're not craft beers, they may be imported but they're not craft beers and in their country of origin belong in the fridge over where you guys have all the other mega brewed, watered down, flavourless crap, like VB and MB.
He then starts to tell me "I think you will find your wrong there and they are in fact craft beers"
So I just grabbed a SN Pale Ale and porter and left.
Was still shaking my head as i walked out.
