A Civilized Discourse

We here at Union Beer Co. are firm believers in the advancement of not only the mind but also the body and, most pointedly, the soul. In recent years, with the internet and its so-called "message boards," we have become discouraged with the youth of the day and their hideously tainted lingo. No longer have laughs been simply implied in the sentence (or explicitly implied in the predictably stale use of the exclamation point), but laughing has now become abbreviated degrees. From the LOL to the ROFL, abbreviated laughing has become so commonplace that one may fear the human intellect has forever been tarnished. We here at Union Beer Co. still hold out hope.

One may now ask, "What does this have to do with brewing and your first blog post?" Another may ask, "You guys are so hot! Can we go out on a date?" I will address only the former, while the ladder shall be implied with a wink...

Union Beer Co. and its massive intelligence has now undergone a transformation from a bustling home-brew crew to an international and cyber-spacial dimension of brewing threatening to destroy any unworthy beers along its way towards world domination. (Grant Rhodes currently heads the International Division of Union Beer Co., so we are allowed to say "international." You can't sue us, Larry Miller.) With that being said, within our first "blog" mind you, Union Beer Co. is now attempting to branch out and save these lost youths of everlasting youth from the clutches of "message board dopiness". Upon thinking of the proper measures to take, we decided that baby-steps would be the most efficient method to begin the saving process. All of this now behind us, I would now like to introduce you to the first of many "A Civilized Discourse: Chatting with the CEOs":

Akon vs. T-Pain

Peter: akon>t-pain

("Bartender" by T-Pain & Akon begins to blare.)

Peter: ...

Evan: T Pai and akon foreva!!!!!!

Peter: LOL!!!!11 without Akon this would be useless..... cuz akons part is da best!

And that concludes our first of many Civilized Discourses. We hope that by using YouTube comments to express our affection towards Akon and T-Pain we have begun to bridge the gap between the plebeian Bud Light drinker and the much more refined Red Roses for Me lady and gentleman. 

Until next time, 

Slante Portland!
