Proof positive I need to get out more
So I'm driving along I-44 on the way back from class this morning when I notice one of the billboards Budweiser is putting up meant to emphasize their status as King of Beers (it has the top popping off of the bottle and the foam is shaped like a crown

I wonder if the "light" beer, the "dry" beer and the "premium" beer would also be kings, or be ducal in nature? I mean, since one is the king, can it be deposed by another beer?
And would a brand name of beer be considered a 'house' among the claimants? Like, for instance, the house of Miller, the house of Anheuser-Busch, and so on...?
Would each type of liquour then have their own 'king'? Is there a king of scotch? of whiskey? of schnapps? of aftershave? How do different flavours affect the feudal setup?
Would a mixed drink then kind of function like a political marriage? Suppose I mixed the king of beers with the queen of ryes.... would I then give birth to some sort of heir to both thrones? And wouldn't that taste really gross?
That leads to all kinds of questions of liquor feudalism-- I mean, clearly booze functions as a sort of nobility, and all non-alcoholic drinks would serve as commoners....
Fascinating concept. I must think more on this. ;)

I'm an adherent of the house of Guinness. ;)
For that matter, is an American beer actually allowed to claim the throne of beerdom? How do the laws of citizenship apply to beer, anyway? ;)

Also, does the King of Beers have two bodies? And if so, which one tastes great, and which is less filling?
That is hilarious! :) However, I'm not much of a Budweiser fan..or really any American beers. I'd have to go with you and the house of Guiness. Mmmmm... Carling was rather nice as well.
For now, I'm mostly a fan of Amaretto Sours and a nice, sultry red wine. Ooy.
