Modern drinks are rubbish
Who, Me? Before one can organise a piss-up in a brewery, one must first get the brewery started. Something a Register reader found difficult in today’s Who, Me? Our tale takes us back to the ’80s, the decade of fun. Our brave reader – let’s call him „Gareth“ – was heading up a team building a state-of-the-art Brewery Process Block. It was quite the thing to behold. „They literally came from all over Europe to see it,“ boasted Gareth. The clever modular design meant that bits could start being water tested even if other parts were not quite ready. It was also up and running – handy since a grand opening was planned. And what an opening it would be. Heads of government and churches had been invited. Had the ceiling fallen in, a good few countries would be in need of leaders. However, it wasn’t the ceiling the boss was worried about. Looking at the plans and attendees, he blanched and parachuted in more people to be on hand. Just in case. „He promised me that they would be invisible,“ said Gareth, „but said that, ‚If we mess this up we’ll never be able to sell another system.‘ „Fair enough.“ It was the eve of the opening ceremony, and things appeared good.
