We’ve all heard the song lyrics of ‘a pub with no beer’. What about a brewery WITH beer but no bottles? True story.
The folks at our Vailima Breweries are pulling what hair they have left, to solve the mystery of no empties to bottle the precious liquid.
The alcoholics are already in a stir at not getting their regular ‘fix’.
“Where’s the beer”?
Bottle collectors have not been active lately and it’s puzzling our brewers.
Even with empties going up to 30 sene for small bottles and 50 sene for large ones, nothing.
No mad rush by collectors to hand in empties. Why would that be?
Would it have anything to do with Govt. $200,000 gift handouts to the villages?
There’s a million tala to follow. Not sure when but it’ll be no surprise if it’s closer to our next general elections.
The breweries may want to see if they can work on a similar deal. Why not offer 100 barrels to the villages.
Nothing to do with winning their vote but getting their empties. Remember the chiefs are beer drinkers and decision makers in the village – they’ll go for it.
It worked for the Government party.
