Tikifish's Law of Buying Beer and Wine - Beyond Tiki

It's Australian. I'm having it right now. Mmmmm. After thinking about it more, it seems the reason for the animal beer/wine dichotomy is thus: Most Australian wines have animals on the label, and most Australian wines are good; therefore wines with animals oare often good. Also note that the animals on these wines are never threatening or angry animals, they are usually exotic. Most beers with animals want to convey some extreme masculine anger or prowess, therefore the animal beers are high alcohol or just low cost beers for men who feel their masculinity has been somehow taken away from them, wither by low income or status in life. Yes, I may get picked on by the boss at the factory, but when I come home, I am a GRIZZLY!!!! ARR!!!! The recent trend of boutique beer brewers to name their beers after animals (warthog ale, grasshopper ale, etc) is just messing up my theory, so therefore I will ignore it, as all good researchers do. However, this all seems far too academic once you break it down, so just remember this: Mongoose, Bad. Frogs, good.
