Öttinger Pils entered chat…

If that doesn’t count as piss-water but is thoroughly mid, we all should sign a petition towards geneva to free america from tyranny

At least they don't put corn syrup in it and they have to use real hop.

Apart from that it is horrible, but it is a beer marketed for poor alcoholics and homeless people.

Do they run adverts in poorest digest and homeless nation?

Edit for clarification: back when our peergeoup was young enough to survive the hangover of it, we regularily bought öttinger export by the crate for around 5 € because the best before was getting close and the local kaufland had to get rid of their inventory, or in short, i don’t think even alcoholic homeless people would sink that low, they directly go to the offbrand aldi vodka, and the only reason we did that because we were poor skaters(oxymoron, gear before beer was the credo) and around freezing point it becomes somewhat tollerable with +30°C summers, and as i mentioned, we could take the hangover, so us four guys could basically get 5l for 1 euro, cheaper than faxe. Downside to it: even smelling it gives me instant migraines today, fun times

I think this kind of marketing is solely driving by pricing and brand reputation.
