End of the World? Drink Up!
If the end of the world as we know it is, indeed, happening Saturday; we might as well party like it’s 1999. I mean, at least the predictors had the good sense to say it will all end on a Saturday, so we have Sunday to recover if the world doesn’t melt into a big ball of goo.
And good beer is, of course, the salve for our Damnation (or Salvation). So, here are a few theme beers guaranteed to at least keep you laughing. But you might want keep a sixer of BudMillerCoors handy because these are too good to cry in if things go south real quick:
If it really is La Fin du Monde, and the Rapture is upon us, it’s gotta be thirsty work to endeavor a second coming, so I will offer Jesus an eponymous beer. He turned water into wine the first time around, so I think he’s going to be pretty impressed with how well our craft brewers are doing with H2O these days. I hope that gets me on his good side for Judgment Day and I can talk Him into Deliverance and Redemption as we reach The End of History.
However, it could be that the Hopocalypse conjures the Dark Lord first. Mephistopheles might not be his name, but the appearance of The Beast will surely bring about Ommegeddon when he/it rises from Hell. Perhaps it’s best to appease Lucifer with a Duvel.
Or, it might be best to take a different tack and go Gudelos (godless). Or dive into some Jewbelation, just to be on the safe side — chosen ones and all.
On second thought, if we are truly looking at the prospect of facing Hel & Verdoemenis (hell & damnation) and complete Obliteration, I might just take it on Blind Faith that the best option is Mort Subite.
But let’s all hope this Apocalypse silliness is once again the product of a Blithering Idiot, so I can finish this post with a Happy Ending.
