Title: Bosch Beer??
Post by: Marcov on January 02, 2011, 09:34:40 pm

I keep on hearing this idea from user-made campaigns and in discussion in these forums. I think I recall hearing the term itself from JAD, but what exactly is Bosch Beer?

So, that info about some brewing company made this classic FreeSpace joke?

Anyways, what role is Bosch Beer supposed to play in the FreeSpace fanverse?

I knew it was a long running joke but assumed it was one of those random things that came out of a thread or IRC conversation, never realised there was a RL connection.

Bosch Beer is an awesome community classic, too awesome to have come from IRC.

Bosch Beer predates DEM.  But play DEM anyway. :D

Oh so it's a real beer? I always assumed it was just a play on "Busch Beer" as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busch_Beer#Busch

This is just that much more awesome now, we can actually drink Bosch beer! Bring us back a few cases, sizzler!
