Bartering is back


Currency as we know it no longer exists. The world will soon go back to olden times and bring back the bartering system. However, only one form of bartering will take place. Beer bartering. Soon you will be able to trade a six pack for goods and services such as haircuts, ham, ham sandwiches, ice cream sandwiches, heavy whipping cream, shaving cream, a shave, etc...

However, different beers will be worth more. Beers that fit into the same category as Bud light, Miller light, and Coors light will get you products such as a loaf of white bread and a can of spam.

Beers such as Schlitz, Pabst, Olympia, and Point Special will get a person a loaf of good wheat bread and a package or hormel lunch meat.

If one were to trade foreign beers that are heavily advertised like Corona, that person will recieve a moldy tortilla with stale lengua (cow tounge).

A six pack of a good american micro brew will get that person fresh bread from the oven with an entire honey baked ham.

On the top of the bartering list is anything Belgian, except for Stella. I have proof of this as I pulled off the greatest beer bartering trade ever. My brewery made a 10.5% Belgian amber partly aged in an oak barrel. I took it to another brewery that has a bar connected to it. I drank all night and when I asked him how much I owed he said, "Nothing, actually take a six pack with you." This is proof that one can actually get paid, in the form of beer, for drinking all night.

Bartering is back.
