Discarded beer causes stir

One man’s treasure is another man’s trash.

This was true for two city employees who were alerted to hundreds of cases of recently expired beer dumped in the city landfill.

On April 1, N.H. Scheppers Distributing Co. of Columbia dropped off 1,500 cases of expired beer at the landfill. The unusually large load consisted mostly of cans of Budweiser and some Michelob Ultra, said Scheppers President Joe Priesmeyer, and was delivered in two shipments.

The first half was destroyed by landfill crews upon delivery. The second load, roughly 700 cases, remained intact.

Margrace Buckler, the city’s human resource director, said after the second load was dropped off, two employees of the city’s Solid Waste Division came to the site with a city-owned pickup and loaded up as much beer as they could carry away — about 50 cases.

Priesmeyer said despite the beer being past expiration, it was not in any way unhealthy and at worst “it loses some of its taste profile.”

Mich Ultra has no flavor profile to begin with.  Bud's only marginally better.

of course

but, on principle alone, this still qualifies as a tragedy
