Alright I admit I was bored and just sitting aroundthinking (yes it hurt) and wanting to mess with the bikeso bear with me.

Yesterday I was out with a couple of friends shooting pool and drinking beer and one of them brought up the nickname he has given my bike (Beast of Burden). For some reason Milwaukee's Best popped into my head (think of it's nickname ) and made me think of incorporating it on the bike somehow. Anyways earlier today I was at the grocery store and decided to buy a 12 pack of "The Beast". When I got home I took a spare HD oil filter out of the garage and downed one of those high quality delicious beers and made this creation.
I just need to smooth the cut aluminum edges a little better on it then tomorrow when I can see better out in the garage I'll go out there and put it on the bike.







Just a question, how many people have heard Milwaukee's Best referred to as The Beast? When my wife saw this sitting on the counter in the kitchen she asked what the hell I was doing so I told her the same story I just told you with the Beast of Burden joke. She just looked at me blankly and said ok but why did you pick thatparticular beer? [&:]I guess it just went over her head.

 

I think its very funny, I have never heard that beer called the "beast", (west coast and all I guess)

 

Nope, checking in here from Wisconsin and that's a new one on me, "The Beast"?
We got Old Style, nicknamed Old Stale
Remember Olympia Beer? "OLY"!
Budweiser=Crud Geyser or Crud Geezer, depending how tanked you are. can't stand THAT stuff.
Gilly

 

I thought just as you did... everyone knows the beast but I guess not.

 

Yea I just figured everyone called it that also. I found this old article from 2005 that talks about Miller, who owns Milwaukee's Best, trying to get rid of the old nickname for their cheap beer by starting a new advertising campaign. Sorry Miller it will always be the Beast to me after all those nights spent drinking it on the cheap then paying for it in the bathroom all night.

Miller said one of its first priorities will be to rid Milwaukee's Best of the "Beast" nickname, which it has had for decades. In the coming months, it will push Milwaukee's Best with a television and print advertising campaign. One print ad shows a woman in a cut-off T-shirt with a tattoo of a bass on her back. "The perfect Milwaukee's Best woman because she drinks beer and likes to fish," Mr. Marino explains. A spot for Milwaukee's Best Light will say, "Men should act like men, and light beer should taste like beer."

 

That sure is an original mod but haven't heard of the beer being affilated with the "beast".

 

I've heard that plenty of times. "The Beast" is what it's referred to in my circle anyway.

Budwieser = Butt-wiper
Old Style = Old Pile or Old Nile
Milwaukee's Best = The Beast or The Worst

etc.

 

Born and raised in WI. I'm all to familiar with the beast...

 

My brother survived college at VCU with daily helpings of the Beast.

You just gave me inspiraton.......wife is gonna love this one.

 

Yes I have tangled with the Beast many times....Make sure you post a pic when it's done
