10 reasons to Drink Solbrew

Solbrew vs SB …the debate just got hotter!
If you are in Solomons long enough to experience a hang over it is highly possible that you heard this arguement somewhere along any bar or whatever corner you have been to. I am a loyal Solbrew fan..Sorry SB…for
these 10 reasons:
10. Solbrew is popular.
9. Its bottle/can has more trendy design. True.
8. Its one of the few alcohol drinks in bottle. Can
beer have bad taste..that is after 2am..hehe
7. You can still have your dignity intact after a
6 pack. Or stay awake drunk until next day..is this good? have to check..
6. There is no strict rule on when you can drink a solbrew.
You can have a few at lunch and get back to work or whatever less fun activity that prohibits alchohol.
5. You can eat any snacks with it. Especially if people you want to impress are with you and the need to show that you can hold your drink is a must.
4. It is less likely to fool any drinker to think that he or
she is a kung fu master. Solbrew is more comedy oriented.
3. It tastes great with greasy and highly soy sauced
barbacue food. Bonito and Pork!….
2. The police/parent/wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend
will trust you more if you drink solbrew..seehh ma solbrew
noma ya mifala drinkim…hehehe
1. IT just TASTES BETTER than SB!
