For those who may have missed it, here's an interesting item from Washington
state. I've never tried--or even heard of--Rainier, but I feel the same as
the bear about Busch.

When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out
on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby -
dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.

The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth
to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.

"He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer," said Lisa Broxson,
bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker.

Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can
of Busch, but ignored the rest.
