\"\"<\/span>Man, that episode of AEW Dynamite<\/em> sure was whack.\u00a0 A 61-year old Sting showing back up, and then that turrible finish to the main event where it turns out that there\u2019s some cross-promotion going on with Impact wrestling?\u00a0 I thought AEW was serious about trying to compete, but by intertwining themselves with Impact, they\u2019re a few weeks away from doing some bullshit cup tournaments with no meaning, and having battle royales where eliminations occur when a guy is thrown into<\/em> the ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

AEW doing business with AAA and the NWA is kind of cool.\u00a0 The few guys they have that are allowed to do dates with NJPW make it seem like they\u2019re crossing over.\u00a0 But working with Impact, which is the hollowed out bones of what used to be TNA, feels like when Sears merged with K-Mart, and it was a pretender with a modicum of reputation, teaming up with a dying animal and in the end both start to sink as a result of the union.<\/span><\/p>\n

Somewhere, I suspect that the impetus of this joint venture is to ultimately bring together some of the core members of Bullet Club<\/a>, since Omega and the Bucks are AEW, but Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are in Impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, it\u2019s going to be lame, and whatever equity that AEW might have built up over the last year might seem to be on its way out, and considering the entire promotion loves to use gambling lingo in their ppv names, they\u2019re definitely on the path of cashing out, especially now that that the first year has passed, so the Bucks and Omega are now booking themselves as the promotion\u2019s champions, and they\u2019re getting into bed with a jobber fed like Impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh wait, this was a supposed to be a post about my German beer advent calendar, right?\u00a0 Yeah, so today\u2019s brew was K\u00e4uzle, a pilsner with a cute little owl on the can.\u00a0 Because what I do for a living is visual, I most certainly judge books by their covers, and if I were at the store, I\u2019d probably pick a beer like K\u00e4uzle, because I like minimalistic designs with animals on them, especially when I can\u2019t make out the German text on it one iota.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, pictures and can designs don\u2019t always have much bearing on the contents of said cans, and K\u00e4uzle, wasn\u2019t necessarily terrible, but of the three beers I\u2019ve had over the three days, this was most definitely the weakest of them all.\u00a0 Untappd classifies<\/a> it as a pilsner, and it apparently only has a 3\/5 rating, which I\u2019d say is pretty accurate to how I felt about it, if not a little generous.\u00a0 The flavor is weak, abruptly ends, and is pretty forgettable.\u00a0 At 4.8% ABV, it\u2019s a little on the weak side, and I liken this to like a German equivalent to PBR or some low-end beer that is mostly good for keeping your buzz going once some other beer has gotten the party started.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, there\u2019s no way there were not going to be any stinkers in a case of 24 different beers.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not saying that this K\u00e4uzle is that big of a stinker, but it\u2019s definitely the bottom of the rankings after just three days.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
