Norm48327You mean the can is worth more than the beer?
Nope. That is not what the very knowledgeable ndbprr said.
He basically said the can cost more than the beer inside. But , "Cost More" is not the same as "Worth More".

With beer in an aluminum can?
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Murphy Siding greyhounds Murray I like kettle chips...... With beer in an aluminum can? How do they get the chips into the aluminum cans? It seems like the opening in the top of the can would be too small for chips of any decent size.

Of course, etting the chips out is another matter--fish them out? But, I have no idea what to use as a lure.
Question: How is it that some folks turned into Forum thought police about the Santa Barbara thread having some OT posts about baroque music (and none of those folks actually had anything more to post about the SB accident), but seem to feel it is their right to have a string of utterly inane (also OT posts) on this thread? I realize this thread's OP is a suspected serial troll, but the principle is the same. So you all should take your "humor" to Murray's totally no-topic thread.

Ahem! Are not potato chips and beer sold in Amtrak (and VIA) cafe cars?
Cornelius Vanderbilt may have invented potato chips. Probably not, but its something to read

This one's still on-topic.

Get real. It is off topic, but just pretends to be on topic.
Real potato chips are fried in lard.

I remember Rhengold. Nasty stuff. I sure miss Ballantine's India Pale Ale, though. A cold winter will affect the price of beer and other cereal products. The Great Lakes were frozen solid longer than normal last winter so ships could not get to the docks at Thunder Bay, Ontario (for one) to load at the elevators. Because the elevators at the ports couldn't be emptied, the grain in the elevators on the prairies couldn't go anywhere. A large proportion of barley used for beer production is malted at the Weyermann plant in Bamberg, Germany. The barley gets shipped there in bulk by ship and train, then comes back to breweries all over the world in bags. Without fresh barley, the whole process stops and beer becomes more expensive. A lack of room on the rails due to all the oil travelling around means pretty much the same thing, a lack of barley at the malting plants. a lot of my friends here in Toronto run small breweries and they all get malted barley from Weyermann's and yes prices went up as a result of last winter's extreme cold.

I don't know about potato chips.
I'm disappointed, nobody has an opener for Atlas Prager Beer. Dad used to keep one in the silverware drawer in the kitchen.
54light15 I sure miss Ballantine's India Pale Ale, though.
You do know that in August they brought it back, trying to re-create the original formula.
I honestly don't know whether this was a New Coke sort of situation. I had only peripheral exposure to 'true' Ballantine before they changed the formula, and if memory serves it was kind of like the Laphroaig of brews -- 'it takes a verra determined laddie to get that stoof doon' ...
The 'revised standard version' has been available all these years (if you don't mind that its brewing has been outsourced to Miller 'and it shows' ... ;-} )
Ballantines' IPA is coming back? That to me was one of the benchmarks of the American IPA style and for the price, you couldn't beat it! Sure, there's better beer around these days, but I sure have fond memories of it. A really great inexpensive beer? Yuengling's! Not that I want to turn a train column into one about beer but beer and trains go together like beer and hell, anything!
Schaefer pleasure doesn't fade even when your thirst is done!
The most rewarding flavour in this man's world
for people who are having fun, Shaefer is the
one beer to have when you're having more than one!

If I may make a suggestion -- their Black & Tans are ambrosia! Almost as good as the New Amsterdam Black & Tans, which are right at the top of the list for me.
I'll also put in a plug here for Black Douglas, the official steam technologists' drink. (Broughton also does IPA, and probably does it quite well...)
You like Black & Tan from Yuengling's? You are a gentleman of good taste! I'm not familiar with Black Douglas and Broughton, they sound English. Are they? As an aside, this weekend is Cask Days in Toronto- look it up on your googler. There'll be real ale from Britain and California and I sure could use some Sierra Nevada Torpedo on cask and that's a fact!
Moose Drool = great beer.

Beer Can Potato Chips I think U are on to something.
We cant malt grain here?

FX Matt in Utica makes Saranac and Utica Club and gets grain via SUZYQ

They call them 'Pringles'.
