Orange Busch!

Part One...

Recently, Anheuser Busch came out with Real Tree Camo cans that are mostly hunter orange with the Real Tree camo tied in. I assume that the great Americans that created these beer can designs did this in honor of hunters, beer drinkers in the woods that don’t want to get shot, drunk people with guns, invisible people with beer, and of course… hard core Busch lovers! However, I have yet to locate said Busch cans. I first learned about number one on my bucket list from a picture that a friend of mine posted on Facebook. And it was an actual friend, not the fake friends that you have to keep just to be nice, don’t get me started on that shit! Anyway, I started my research. I called every Anheuser Busch distributer within a 50 mile radius and received generic and vague information. Basically, nobody knew a fucking thing! I got on busch.com and immediately I see a picture of these orange blessings, so now I know they’re real! I send an e-mail using the website’s link… Basically saying that I need these beers and how can I get them. The following is the response I got within two days…

“Thank you for writing the crew at Busch beer! I love to hear from our friends. I’m glad you are a huge Busch fan. I would love to help you find a few cases of the Busch orange camouflage cans. The @Realtree camouflage cans are distributed by the folks at King Beverage. I just spoke with them and they tell me they are anxiously awaiting their delivery. They expect to receive the camouflage cans any day now. I recommend you give them a call next week to check the status and they can let you know where the deliveries will be. These awesome cans will be distributed through the mid December.

When I got this, I need not tell you how impressed I was with the customer service here! So, the next week I call the local distributer again and ask them if they have got any orange Busch cans. Of course, the lady remembers me and says that they still don’t have any, she also sounds a bit judgy and annoyed with me. I really didn’t care about her, but I was really worried that I will be left out of this remarkable event in Busch beer history! The same day I stop at this crappy mini-mart for my daily supplies… Two packs of smokes and a 12 pack of Busch. As I’m about to pull in the sad excuse for a parking lot, I see a huge banner on the side of the building advertising the orange Busch cans. At this point, I am having a hard time holding in my excitement! I go to the beer cooler, and… NO ORANGE BUSCH!!! So, I grab my usual delicious 12 pack and dodge the white trash and illegal alien EBT card fuckers. I ask the owner, who I’m not so sure is a legal citizen either, what’s with the banner and no beer to match. He doesn’t know what the hell this redneck white girl is so excited about. So, now I’m holding up the line, and people need their corn dogs and 64 ounce fountain pops, so I leave a little sadder. The week after I stop for my standard supplies and the owner remembers me and tells me that he got some of the beer I was looking for. Holy Shit People! You don’t know how much I was trying to contain my excitement! He goes in the back and brings out a 12 pack of… BUSCH NA!!! I’m ashamed to admit that I think that was one of the most devastating dissapointments to date. So, I smile and tell him that it’s not right. I appreciate that he remembered me, so in this case, the thought did count. He said he would keep looking ... To be continued...
