Beer Time: Spaten Munich style Lager

Ah, beer time. One of my favorite times ever. I'm feeling in a German mood so I picked up a few different kinds of German beer, some of which I've had maybe once or twice years ago but I can't remember for sure. Memory problems aside, here we go!

Spaten is a Munich based brewery which makes many different kinds of beers including Franziskaner, which I'm also a big fan of, so I decided to try their flagship lager. Cool bottle, especially since I like green beer bottles, very German sounding name and a slightly higher ABV than is common for this type of beer. In fact, upon inspecting the bottle I found this:

 

It's technically considered a malt liquor!!

Oh man, could this be any more awesome? 5.2% is a little higher than the average 4% or so for this type of beer. When I tasted it I immediately thought it tasted like a "fancy malt liquor." Those were my exact thoughts. It tastes somewhat strong, but it's not overpowering like Hurricane or anything like that. It's very smooth, but at the same time you know it at least somewhat means business. It also has a very malty flavor, which makes sense as I read somewhere that this was supposed to be Germany's answer to Czech beer. Overall I think Spaten is very good and I would definitely try it again, and I'm sure I'll be trying more varieties of it also such as the Oktoberfest.

A few notes from a former Walmart employee

I'm no longer employed with Walmart (yes, it was my decision) and just wanted to post a few funny pictures that I took there that I had forgotten about. Since they were taken while I was working they are all camera phone pics, so deal with the quality. Oh speaking of, I ordered my new digital camera today! Should be here in about a week.
Hows 'bout we start with some inspiration from Walmart's founder and extremely rich champion of low wages and poor worker treatment, Sam Walton:

First of all, I doubt this is an actual quote. I mean, I know the guy was from Arkansas but I think he'd have the good sense to check his grammar before making this poster. Can you spot the typo? It cracked me up the first time I saw it.
Second, we move on to the fast paced world of milk crates.

That's right. Prohibited by law. So Walmart was in effect saying "fuck the po-lice" by using this in their store. I'm half kidding, here. The real reason they have this warning on them is that evidently these crates cost a lot to make. I've even seen some with "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL" printed on them, which I wish very much I had a picture of. Next  is just some funny shit i saw on a box.

That is quite possibly the best company name in existence. Ever. This was on a case of canned coconut milk.
That's about it. I'm very happy to not be employed there anymore, though I will miss some of the people I worked with. And feel bad for them.
