  As a Canadian, and a beer lover I have to wonder, what is the deal with genetically modified beer. In Denmark and Sweden beer is being subjected to unnecessary practices to improve its quality while making it lighter. Enough already! Why do we need a lighter beer and why does it need to be genetically modified. The first brewmeisters in history must be rolling over in their graves. Can you imagine, brew masters are using genetically modified corn in an effort to make a better tasting, less filling beer. Didn't Miller beer already do that? I swear I saw the commercials about a better tasting, less filling beer many, many years ago.
Somebody call the Beer Police! On second thought, no need to call the Beer Police, Greenpeace has taken up the cause. They have chased beer trucks in Denmark and Sweden in an effort to convince bar, tavern and grocery store owners from carrying the product. Too funny, not only is Greenpeace active in protecting the environment and the rights of animals, they are now taking up the cause of protecting consumers from having to drink bad beer. I wonder how long before good beer is on Greenpeace's protected list. And what about PETA? Maybe they should join their counterparts in Greenpeace and defend the rights of beer drinkers around the world. After all, don't they have a vested interest in what happens to beer? I mean they must consume enough of it judging by the lengths they go to in their effort to protect fur bearing animals.
Oesterlenbryggarna (try saying that after downing a few wobbly pops) Brewery in Sweden is trying to sway Europeans into believing that genetically modified beer is entirely safe to consume, even after recent scares with mad cow disease and poultry related viruses raised concern about genetically modified foods in Europe. Most of the European Union's 457 million residents are dead set against food being modified genetically or otherwise.
I think Canada might feel the same way about beer and how it is brewed. Perhaps the European Union and Canada can ally themselves with one another and help Greenpeace in their fight to keep genetically modified beer away from the lips of lager swillers around the world. Beer drinkers around the world unite! Help put an end to this mad plan. Beer shouldn't be exposed to such horrid treatment by mad scientists looking to create the ultimate beer.
The ultimate beer (already available in Canada) is fresh, tasty and best served ice-cold. It offers one courage, when courage is lacking. It can be considered an aphrodisiac when one drinks it in moderation. It enhances your libido when Viagra isn't readily available. Several beers can induce sleep if you suffer from sleeping disorders. Our beer is the life of the party if you drink it responsibly and know your limits. Let's face it, beer doesn't need any improvements. So fellow beer drinkers, the next time you are enjoying an ice cold beer, take a moment to reflect on the moments you have enjoyed punching the idiot who was getting on your nerves in a bar, or chasing that special someone for that one night stand while you were getting happy on beer.
When you're done reflecting on those special moments, stand up (if you still can) and shout " I LOVE MY BEER THE WAY IT IS! " then reach for another one before the next beer you drink tastes like shit......
