Elf Beer

I stumbled across these crates of beer on sale at the local grocery--a BIG sale. As in 0,25kr per bottle, which means $1 for 22 bottles! I got very excited and quickly snatched up a crate of 24 with plans to return for more. I couldn't understand why everyone else was walking past and ignoring this practically free beer. After running home with this clanging crate I take a closer look at the bottles:

Christmas beer. That fine. It's still beer--just old, right? Um...Not exactly. Turns out hvidtøl translates as "white beer," which actually means "zero alcohol." My coworkers enjoyed telling me that I am the proud owner of a crate of Elf Beer--a popular Christmas drink for kids.

Yessir, I got a good laugh out of that one. As I was reading it, I was like, "Hell yeah, get a dolly and truck that stuff home!" ...and then not so much.
