Beer Wall
Beer Wall
The prompt reminds me of the song ‘Ninety-Nine Bottles Of Beer.’
“99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.”
This song goes on repeating the the two lines until you get down to one. I wouldn’t want to start at 600 bottles of beer on the wall and sing the chorus until one bottle left.
True story- I knew of four young men living together in a townhouse. Being single there was a lot of partying and they had what they called a ‘Beer Wall’ in the basement.
The Beer Wall consists of beer cases full of empty beer bottles lined up against the walls. When it got too much and the townhouse started to smell like a brewery, they loaded the cases onto a truck and took the empty beer bottles to the bottle exchange.
There must have been over 600 bottles of beer on the wall. They cashed in at over $300.00.
i don’t know what they bought with the money but a good guess would be more beer.

Thanks @esteemapp! Appreciated.
@redheadpei I bet their house did smell bad and think of the bugs that would attract, yuk. My husband saves his beer cans but they are outside.
It smelled like a salon/bar that never washed the floors. Then of course,with four lads, there were other cleaning issues. 😂
Outside is a good place for the bottles or cans to be recycled.
@redheadpei I can smell it from your description
Young men have a great time drinking beer and lining up bottles!
Haha Angie, they sure do.
That's pretty gross, but makes for a good story! There's nothing quite like the scent of stale beer. Gag! I think I need to go outside for some fresh air.
Yes.the smell of stale beer could stink up a place. One of the guys got a girlfriend and she got them to be more vigilant in taking cases of empty beer bottles to the recycling depot. A woman’s touch can make a big difference. 😊
If it wasn't for us, the whole world would be covered in beer cans!
