Hi Pln and all!!! Beer with a pink elephant in the label<http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3233/2808219281_c07a1848c0_o.jpg>
I found the beer with the pink elephant in the label LOL Its name is "Delirium", it's suitable with what they say about seeing pink elephants after drinking that LOL. I have to confess that I got really excited about taste it and maybe see pink elephants!!! I'll do my best to find that brand of beer there and then I'll tell you what I saw LOL It's good to know that Europeans drink cold beer instead of in room temperature. Well, in Sao Paulo we don't have neither intense cold nor really intense heat. We just entered in the winter season here and the average temperature is about 10ºC when it's much cold. In the summer, the average is 30º, sometimes a little more. Have a good day!!
