Perrenial problem I think, always hard to find pictures of the underneath of things.

This one probably wouldn't be too hard to tip over:

But I don't think it would go down well if you tried.

It says on the box that there are four ingredients in the box. Presumably these are: beer, beer, beer and, er, beer.

 

Makes a difference to "lager, lager, lager, shoutin'...."

Ivan,

 

please don't confuse beer and lager.

 

Beer is a traditional British alcoholic drink, often available in a variety of seasonal variations from local brewers. It has real flavour and is a genuine British behaviour modifying fluid.

 

Lagers are generally an unpleasant fizzy, sour, alcohol based fluid brewed by huge multi national companies. It was originally largely foisted upon the British by an ungrateful Canadian. It is drunk by people with little sense of taste and no concept of the finer things of life. Exceptions are the better European lagers, from Belgium and other countries that enjoy their traditional food and drink, rather than succumbing to grot from across the Atlantic.

One excellent lager (Czech) is Pilsner Urquell, occasionally available on draught in the UK. Got a taste for it when working in Ostrava and Prague - an excellent tipple.

I think the Parus Major* is descended from dinosaurs.

With the weather as it is at the moment, you would more likely be looking at Cyanistes caeruleus.

It all comes out the same colour too....

They don't look that colour to me, although they could be appearing in a film of that type.

It says on the box that there are four ingredients in the box. Presumably these are:

Beer should be made of just four ingredients and no more: malted barley, hops, yeast and water.

 

The original Reinheitsgebot of 1516 didn't mention yeast, so the beers made in those days were obviously fermented by wild yeasts. In my not-so-humble opinion, unless the beverage is given a particular name (wheat beer, lambic beer) beer should contain just those four ingredients.

Someone has put an awful  lot of thought into the serving suggestion.

Are there instructions on how to place the crumbs in the right place?

Probably some advertising consultant.

The following is the ultimate irony in 'beer purity'.

 

 

It was in recent heavy rotation on US television. This is 'judo' advertising - attempt to turn your liability into a strength.

Some fightin' words there Jol.

 

Rather, "beer is a traditional Mesopotamian alcoholic drink, adopted and experimented with in mostly European countries perhaps for about 70 centuries."

 

Lagering was almost certainly invented in Germany - or at least the word is Bavarian in origin, meaning "to store".  In 1842 a Bavarian brewer brought his lager recipe to Plzen (where they had been making some kind of beer since the 11th century) and thus was Pilsner created.  It is largely Germans who brought lagers to places like the US, China and Australia where lagers are the ubiquitous 'beer'.

 

Interestingly wine is apparently Georgian in origin. I recently tried a Georgian wine. Apparently they gave up experimenting to make it better a long while ago.
