The perfect weather day in the Midwest features clear blue skies and a gentle breeze, with temperatures around the mid-70s°F. Friends gather for a picnic in a spacious field, enjoying cold beers while lounging on blankets. Nearby, a couple of friendly llamas roam, adding a quirky charm to the scene. Their soft wool and curious nature invite laughter as everyone takes turns feeding them treats. The low humidity keeps the air crisp and refreshing, making it an ideal day for leisurely conversations and playful interactions with the llamas, all set against the backdrop of vibrant fall foliage or lush greenery.
As the sun begins to set, someone pulls out a bottle of Malört, sparking a round of laughter and friendly competition. Everyone takes a shot, grimacing playfully at the bitter bite, followed by cheers and stories about their first encounters with the infamous spirit. The camaraderie grows as the group toasts to the perfect day, the combination of laughter, llamas, and a touch of Malört creating unforgettable memories under the fading golden light.

What is The Beer Engine?
Every bar worth its salt has its regulars. Cheers had Cliff and Norm, Moe's had Barney and Homer and Lenny and Carl and the guy with the hat and the green vest and that one balding guy (?). Barstool Sports has that maniac who rates pizza and goes on alt-right tirades. Hey, but what if the regulars came to you and maybe the conversations were recorded? Maybe they talked about their beers, and they might have unusual hobbies or know too much about buying beer on the internet. Tony and Griff are the regulars at the bar chatting over a few cold ones about beer, or whatever else is going on. Belly up, crack open a Hamm's and feel free to eavesdrop on what these two drunks are going on about today.
