The funniest quote from the story.

He did say, however, that he was "alarmed at how some fathers were too busy filming the bear to check where their children were".

How's that for bad advertising, the bear rejected the Busch but drank all 36 cans of Ranier.

If bears prefer Rainier beer then I guess I can feel safe knowing none of them will show up at the Redhook brewpub in Woodinville which is incidently right off a few well-travelled cycling routes and the Sammamish River Trail.
