Beer is the last thing you would think to say when the McDonald’s counter asks what you would like to drink after you approach them and purchase a No. 1.
However, did you know that you may do just that in a lot of McDonald’s restaurants? We are in the minority here in America, where this is not a thing.
In France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Greece, South Korea, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Lithuania, and Germany, you can currently order a McBeer at a McDonald’s.
We have made an attempt, even if the reason why you can’t in America is yet unknown.
McDonald’s executives in the 1980s thought about allowing a California restaurant to serve alcohol, but they decided against it at the last minute.
Experts examining the matter can only conclude that McDonald’s does not offer alcohol in America because it does the same in the United Kingdom, citing the reason that it is “not something that fits with the family-friendly focus of our restaurants in the U.K.” Additionally, there isn’t a lot of consumer demand for it.
It sounds like a simple decision: since Americans love beer and drink over 630 billion gallons annually, and since we know how much we enjoy McDonald’s, why doesn’t a big beer company collaborate with the fast food chain to create an American version of the McBeer?
It becomes somewhat evident if you investigate what would be required for that to occur in the United States. A liquor license would need to be obtained, and there are numerous state and local rules that might create some red tape.
In addition to the food service delivery required to operate a McDonald’s restaurant, there are the logistical considerations of actually delivering alcohol. Sales of beer might not bring in enough money to justify the trouble.
We are America, so don’t worry; we’ll figure something out. We ought to have McBeers at our McDonald’s if all of these other nations can.
Even if there are no longer any actual speakeasies in America because they are unnecessary, you may still find beer in some unexpected, low-key places.
Unbelievably, Chuck E. Cheese is one of such establishments. Ask me how I know. When I was sixteen, I worked there as the mascot. You can unwind and enjoy a few beers while your children are playing. They also have good pizza. the greater your knowledge.
