Bethany found this old bottle of beer in a thrift store on an outing with her brother, Caleb. She wanted to buy it since she wants vintage items in her future kitchen. Because it was filled, and Bethany is underage, the clerk was not sure if it was legal. She held it for Bethany and researched the answer. In the meantime, Bethany came back home and told me about it. I did not have a vehicle at home, so I put out the word to her older siblings. #AsbellsAll4One1ForAll #TeamAsbell
Brandon responded first and said he would take her as soon as he got home from work. He was going to buy it and give it to her with my permission. However, the clerk learned she could not sell it with any liquid in it due to not having a liquor license, so she had Brandon open it for her and then poured it out. Bethany still got her bottle with the old label which is all that mattered to her.
Bethany is curious about the old beer label Lutece Biere of Paris. We have been unable to find one identical to it. If anyone can help her accurately date the label and share any history around it, please write us at the email in the header of this page. Homeschoolers have curious minds that love to learn!
Interestingly enough, this beer comes from a company that dates back to 1366 which eventually became Interbrew of Brussels. Interbrew merged with a Brazilian brewery called AmBev, and together they became InBev. InBev is a common name in our household because in 2008 they bought out Anheuser Busch, where Clint works part time! That job was an answer to prayers and has been a huge blessing to our family! Bethany and Clint got a kick out of the history when I shared it with them.
