Becks vs the Rest ~ by The Beer Snob
My Top 10 Reasons Why Becks is Better

10. Domestic beers are for the mild at heart or the out-and-out weak. Nothing truly warms the soul more than a pungent, skunky German beer and the best choice for that is a Becks.

9. The Coat of Arms on the Becks bottles represents Bremen, Germany (ah, the little babe's birthplace) and the key actually represents the key to the gates of the city.

8. How many beers are just as delicious at room temperature as they are cold? Warm mug? Cold mug? Doesn't matter. Becks is better.

7. Not many people here in domestic beer country can handle the sophisticated flavor of an imported Becks so a delicate blend of bartender tipping and inventory stock requesting can ensure that there is a generous amount stocked in the neighborhood bar.

6. Those other delicious Becks flavors of Light and Dark, not to mention the celebratory beer...Oktoberfest!

5. As the ads say, when "Life Beckons," grab a Becks.

4. The label design is nice and peels off easily when bottle is removed from cooler. It also sticks well to the backs of other people (or their foreheads), whichever you choose.

3. There are over 3,000 bottles of Becks drunk every minute in 120 countries in 5 continents. With numbers like that, it has to be good!

2. A tall bottle of Becks saves you from the nasty flavor of keg beer.

1. Because I said so and I am the beer snob.
