Thursday’s ad is for Kanuhkuhb, or whatever that is in the Cyrillic alphabet. It may be that it’s for Kalinkin Beer, a Russian beer brand, from 1903. It’s a very colorful ad, but who drinks a beer on a swing?

Thursday’s ad is for Kanuhkuhb, or whatever that is in the Cyrillic alphabet. It may be that it’s for Kalinkin Beer, a Russian beer brand, from 1903. It’s a very colorful ad, but who drinks a beer on a swing?
It is, in fact, “Kalinkin.” That b-like character at the end is silent, and just slightly modifies the sound of the preceding consonant.
What’s a real turn off in the craft beer space are the arrogant and entitled snobs who are ready to give their thoughts on any and every beer in milliseconds — and get all pissy if you don’t agree with them.
Let’s face it, if you think wine snobs are douche bags — well, guess what, beer snobs are the exact same thing.
Sounds like a whole lot of them were at Cigar City — and between them and the drunks who can’t handle their liquor — created a real mess.
Thanks, jerks. Way to go.
