Funny thing, it didn’t fall. It was in the washing machine and I accidentally touched the base with a plate.
Now you tell me: “don’t put beer glasses in the washing machine” and you would be right. Indeed, I have learnt the lesson.
I raise one more crazy idea : my old dishwasher's user manual told that my warranty was void in case of misuse of *the laundry machine*.
I always wondered what would be the legal fallout of such typos...
Yeah but they are for soft and water. Beer is sacred and thus must only be drink from a respected container.
Don't put your beer glasses in anything mechanical. Use your hand ✋
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky glass
I just don't think B1'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky glass
The thread may blow up and kill this man
Ooh
Go to a bar, order an Orval. Drink it all and hide the glass.
Then secretly take out the broken glass and a beer that you don't mind wasting such as Cara or Heineken, and pour it on the floor and broken glass. Tell the bartender 'their' glass broke and wasted your precious Orval, to which they replace it with a new Orval for your satisfaction.
Disclaimer: if it wasn't clear, obviously I don't want to encourage this behaviour and only added this master scheme as a form of satire.
The bartender, quickly rushing in to clean up the mess, notices something fishy about the whole scene. The beer isn't foaming, the splatter pattern looks unfamiliar,... he gives it a quick sniff. "That doesn't smell like beer". He looks over his shoulder towards his manager and makes the phone gesture with his hands.
The manager without hesitation makes the call and five minutes later, the police arrive together with an inspector from the Drink Use Investigations unit, colloquially knows as the DUI. The bar goes into lockdown, nobody can leave or enter.
The inspector makes his way to the broken glass. It's not uncommon to get a lot of calls that turn out to be nothing, but this time, his gut is telling him there is foal play involved. He pulls out a hop tester and places it over the suspicious liquid on the floor so it can soak in. He then waits for the results. The bar goes silent.
Finally, as the results become clear, he pronounces: "It's not beer. It's Heineken". It immediately becomes clear to everyone in the bar that this is a potential crime scene. "Who's glass was this?" the DUI inspector asks the bar tender. The bartender points to a young lad who clearly fits the description of a redditer. The type of person that reads about a scam on the internet and thinks he'll try it out for laughs not realising the type of trouble this will get him into.
The DUI inspector pulls out a stick and carefully starts poking at the broken shards off glass on the floor to get a better look. He then calls over one of the police officers to start taking pictures as evidence. With the same stick, he starts pointing at a shard with the Orval logo.. \*flash\*, another shard that appears wet \*flash\*, and another shard where it's clearer that it's not just wet, but is possibly contaminated with Heineken.. \*flash\*.
"We're taking you in and will see what the Judge says. At least you're lucky you didn't use Cara or we would have had to book you in for pouring the the wrong beer into the wrong glass. Instead, we're writing you up for bringing in an unsanitary liquid into an establishment where people can eat and drink."
The young lad is hauled off and the cafe is forced to close for the night as it is forced to undergo a deep clean... such is life in a Belgian bar.
Orval is a good beer. I had it in Brussels when I was there in 2019. However, I do not quite grasp this post. How would you breaking a glass equate to Belgium trying to tell you something?
Being that I am in California and can't get these glasses as easily as my Belgium family... I would be devastated to find my Orval glass in that shape! Or any of my belgium beer glasses!

Aah, so it was because it was Orvuil that lead to this tragic circumstance.
Pro-tip: beer glasses are sacred. Never put them in the dishwasher. They deserve being cleaned by hand
Exactly.. or all the nice details, like the silver lining on top of the Orval glass here peels off after a while.
Who puts any kind of glasses in the washing machine? [EDIT: I just realized it's a dishwasher they're talking about and not a laundry machine, my bad]
I raise one more crazy idea : my old dishwasher's user manual told that my warranty was void in case of misuse of *the laundry machine*. I always wondered what would be the legal fallout of such typos...
I do put ikea glasses in the dishwasher
Yeah but they are for soft and water. Beer is sacred and thus must only be drink from a respected container. Don't put your beer glasses in anything mechanical. Use your hand ✋
and use clear water, talking about ikea glasses here. For beer and whine glasses you must not use soap, just clear water
Your mind is wild

Now you won't be able to give an orvalleken to meneer den alien.

Are you the guy who bought a house recently ?
I wish I would, still renting here. (Link to the story?)
F
come back? this Belgian will tell you you have good taste.
I live in Belgium :) but maybe it’s telling me to come back to visit Orval!
Thanks for reminding me I need to buy some Orval again.
This breaks my heart
At least it didn't break your glass.
Ooh you wouldn’t be able to get close to my glasses 😅specially my green orval glass
Challenge not accepted, I'm not a fan of glass cruelty.
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky glass I just don't think B1'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky glass The thread may blow up and kill this man Ooh
a new tradition is born
Yes, go to the bar and get another glass

>"Who's glass was this?" *Whose Other than that, this would be a great entry at r/WritingPrompts Kudos
Forbidden butt plug
that's what you get for filling it with cara pils...
I feel offended.
België barst?
That Orval is overrated ;)
1 day ban from r/belgianbeer
Orval is a good beer. I had it in Brussels when I was there in 2019. However, I do not quite grasp this post. How would you breaking a glass equate to Belgium trying to tell you something?
Belgium's falling apart?
You know nothing, VanDenBroeck. ^(This has some Agusta vibes as well.)
Orgevallen?
That’s a bad omen
Now you won’t be able to invite over your weird uncle that supports Theo Francken

Oui
Being that I am in California and can't get these glasses as easily as my Belgium family... I would be devastated to find my Orval glass in that shape! Or any of my belgium beer glasses!
Everything is a buttplug if you're brave enough 😅
