Shaun Becomes Good Mates With It.
Hansa Marzen Gold - Shaun's Chyna.
Beer has always been on good terms with me, we all get on smashingly and spend an almost unnaturally large amount of time in one another’s company. I know The Girlfriend gets suspicious sometimes but the truth is we’re really just good mates.
Most of you know that Amstel and I basically grew up together, Black Label is like a brother and even Castle has been good fun on the odd occasion.
Heineken has a bit of an ego – he’s not as cool as he’d like to think he is – but he is tolerated nonetheless, as is Millers. I was a little wary of Peroni when he first arrived, but Castle and Black Label both vouched for him and I’ve come to appreciate him more and more.
As everyone knows Amstel had a bit of a falling out with everyone and went on a bit of a hiatus. This hit me pretty hard, and to fill the void, I started hanging out more and more with Windhoek, not the Light though, because he’s a bitch and tries to undermine everyone, I’m talking about regular Windhoek. Still Windhoek had funny ways – he wouldn’t open up easily, and that left me feeling hurt and slightly depressed.
Then a new guy showed up, we all saw him at clubs and bars, and he also started cropping up on television adverts as well on print. (What we call “below the line” advertising)
Hansa Marzen Gold was his full name, a bit of a mouthful and not very impressive sounding, so we stayed away at first, keeping our distance and watching things from afar.
Well, we hung out with Marzan Gold the other day and let’s just say, we were very impressed.
We could just as well call him Amstel, with a different outfit.
Same crisp taste, same twist-off design, same-foil like material that comes off the bottle and sticks in your teeth if you’re not careful.
Well done Marzen Gold, you have won us over. We are now rather fond of you.
