Today in Cloft’s Corner, Dave examines Free Beer, it’s pitfalls, perils, potential and resistance to inflation.
Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round, for today we dive deep into the black hole of human dissatisfaction: the enigma of free beer and the unyielding grip of its cost. Yes, you heard it right. Free beer, that golden elixir that has fueled debates, heart-to-hearts, and questionable karaoke performances since time immemorial, remains astoundingly, infuriatingly, and predictably… free.
In a world where inflation has turned even a bag of potato chips into a financial adventure, free beer stands tall, defying the economic rollercoaster. We’re talking about a commodity that comes at the unbeatable price of zero, nada, zilch, and yet, oh the horror, humanity still finds reasons to complain.
Picture this: you walk into a bar, gleeful and thirsty, ready to quench your parched soul with the nectar of the gods. And lo and behold, the sign reads, “FREE BEER.” It’s a modern-day miracle! A beacon of hope in a sea of overpriced avocado toast and artisanal water. And yet, amidst the celebratory cheers and clinking glasses, you hear the whispers of dissent. “But it’s not craft beer,” they mutter, as if the ancient scrolls of entitlement dictate that only the rarest, most obscure barley concoction will do.
Yes, even as the universe hands you a cosmic discount, humans can’t help but express their disdain. “If Bud Lite is free,” they scoff, “I’d rather drink water.” Ah, the delicate palate of the connoisseur! In a world where the price of free beer remains as steady as a zen master during a traffic jam, the masses demand a selection of only the finest, the quirkiest, and the most hipster-approved brews.
But let’s not be too hasty in our judgment, for isn’t the human spirit beautifully contradictory? We decry the unchanging cost of free beer while simultaneously clutching our wallets at the sight of an astronomically priced avocado. We yearn for variety while stubbornly sticking to the same old brewski.
So, dear reader, the next time you’re offered a cold, frosty pint of free beer, let not your heart be troubled by the lack of craftmanship or the absence of rare hops from a remote mountain range. Raise that glass high, embrace the paradox, and revel in the undeniable truth: even when the price tag is non-existent, human nature remains gloriously, uproariously complex. Cheers to free beer, where the only thing more bountiful than the beverages are the laughs!

Bud Light? I wouldn’t drink it if you PAID me to, I wouldn’t even give it to slugs.
