Bier Holder

Ever loose track of where you set down your bier in the shop? Henry Ford must have been a pantry sipper. Why else would a bier can fit perfectly into the pinion end of his torque tube use don his model A's? Using it makes it hard to misplace,or if you still do, maybe it is time to turn in?

A bier is a stand on which a corpse, coffin, or casket containing a corpse is placed to lie in state or to be carried to the grave.

Not only was Ol’ Henry an industrial world-changer and friend of the beer-drinking man, he was, by all appearances, clairvoyant. Or perhaps, a time traveler. Why? Because according to records from the canning industry, beer was first tested by The American Can Company long after the Model A was no longer in production. To wit:
“In June of 1934, four cans of beer were delivered to one thousand homes in the Richmond, Virginia area. They were delivered with a questionnaire and the results were better than anyone could have expected. By January 1935 Krueger’s canned beer was being sold throughout the city.”

That is correct. it is also the spelling for beer in German.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beer (German: Bier) is a major part of German culture. German beer is brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot, which permits only water, hops, and malt as ingredients; and stipulates that beers not exclusively using barley-malt, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented.[2][3]

Does the picture look like a coffin or a Bier?

I just returned from Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany, I do not think that qualifies as bier.

If you are saying that the Miller Bier shown is lacking in what you would be getting in Deutschland, I could not agree more. One stein in Munich probably has the zip of 6-8 of these, it is still closer to bier than pepsi cola.....Did you bring any of the real stuff back from Liechtenstien?

I realize you are suggesting this in jest, however truth known, it is pretty well understoof that Henry hated Jews, and Alcohol. During the Prohibition, Henry was quoted saying something to the effect that Jews are for the Prohibition and Alcohol. And old Henry was very Anti-Semitic. Therefore I doubt he was a "pantry sipper". :o;)

Id have to disagree with it tasting like lemonade. But I guess why there are so many different types available. That being said if Bavarian Bier taste lemonade to you, I doubt very much I would like what you suggest....To each his own...

Yes Henry drank very little, Edsel drank it to excess and Henry hated it, can't say I blame him. All of Edsel's kids struggled with alcoholism, I seem to remember reading that Benson had a terrible struggle with it.

So you are correct, I was saying it in jest, I thought it ironic, and amusing that the can fit perfectly in his model A torque tube.

The only "real" beer in Germany, comes from the south...........
Ive had many a sip at the various convents along the way.


Of course if youre a northerner, you have your own opinion, which is most likely wrong. ;)

I am of German decent, Oktoberfest is celebrated in Munich, in the south of Germany considered to be Bavaria. It is my most favorite time of year. I am not lacking in acquaintance what "real" bier taste like.

Had no inkling of the nerve this simple little joke would touch. I think we need to lighten up here a little, if northern Germans disagree with us, that's fine, let it be, that leaves more bier for us.

My parents used to describe this season as a time of "Gemütlichkeit"....Let us enjoy and be happy in it, let there be good will to all....

Many disagreements were settled over a stein of bier. That picture makes me want to go out and buy a six-pack of St. Pauli. Good bier and a lovely girl serving it...does it get any better?

No I don't see how it could....Proof positive that God loves us and want's us to be happy...

Yes, even Ben Franklin understood! That's why everyone in the picture is smiling. By the way, I like Miller too.

Go K state!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Bier Holder
 

Question: Considering it begins in late September why did the precise, organized, logical, efficient Germans name it Oktoberfest?
a) They’re Bavarian, not to be confused with the Northern Germans.
b) Because they were drunk.
c) Ach, Günter, you’re always taking life too seriously. Drink up!

Correct answer: It originated on 12 October 1810 celebrating the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.

Today it is held over a two week period ending on the first Sunday in October.

If I had to pick one of your answers I would have to go with "C"
