Ken Marino's The Bachelor Parody, Burning Love

Chaka: A Belgian-Style Ale From Oskar Blues & Sun King
“Bottles and cans, just clap your hands.” Beck wasn’t singing about Chaka, the new collaboration between Oskar Blues and Sun King breweries, but what’s inside this resealable bottle/can hybrid is clearly where it’s at.
