Bear Stumbles Upon Campground And Drinks Over A Case Of Beer Before Passing Out

[JackLuis]

When Washington state Fish and Wildlife agents found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby - dozens and dozens of empty beer cans.


Is VM in Washington yet?

The thirsty bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. But not just any cans.

According to the bookkeeper at the campground, Lisa Broxson, this bear had a beer preference.

"He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer," she told the AP.

Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. It then consumed about 36 cans of Rainier.

Agents then used a large, humane trap to capture it for relocation, baiting the trap with the usual: doughnuts, honey and, in this case, two open cans of Rainier.

That did the trick.

Oregon, not Washington! And I would never consider canned beer in the Pacific Northwest when there are so many craft breweries around. Why, last weekend I went to the Portland International Brewfest and tasted my way through . . . uh . . . well . . . a lot? Great times, great times . . .

Ah but cans are actually coming into style with some of the craft brews. They transport into the great outdoors better. Several of my favorite brews out here are only sold in cans...or from the tap at the brewery straight into your favorite growler

I know you'll roll your eyes but I won't drink beer in a can or which comes from a tap. I can taste the metal aftertaste when I do. Only bottles.

As to animals getting drunk, a squirrel ran amok in an English pub last week:

That's not just a bear, it's a beer critic!

Nah not roll, more like pity that you don't get to enjoy it beyond the bottle.
