What’s your computer and beer of choice? What if you were to combine them and pretend that your beer was a computer operating system. Here’s your Beer OS.

Macintosh Beer OS

Considered by many to be a “light” beer. All cans of Macintosh Beer look identical. When you take one from the fridge, it opens itself. The ingredients list is not on the can. If you call to ask about the ingredients, you are told that “you don’t need to know.” A notice on the side reminds you to drag your empties to the trashcan.

DOS Beer

Requires you to use your own can opener, and that you read the directions carefully before opening the can. DOS Beer is divided into eight compartments of 2 oz each, which have to be accessed separately. A lot of people keep drinking it after it was discontinued.

Windows 3.1 Beer

Was the world’s most popular beer in the mid-1990s. Looked a lot like the Mac Beer operating system. Requires that you already own a DOS Beer. Windows 3.1 Beer allows you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously, but in reality, you can only drink a few of them, very slowly, especially slowly if you are drinking the Windows Beer at the same time. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, a can of Windows Beer will explode when you open it.

Windows NT Beer

Came only buy it by the truckload. This caused most people to have to go out and buy bigger refrigerators. The can looks just like Windows 3.1 Beer. Touted as an “industrial strength” beer, and suggested only for use in bars.

Windows Vista Beer

Windows Vista Beer looks a lot like Mac Beer but tastes more like Windows XP Beer. Most people will probably keep drinking Windows XP Beer until their friends try Windows Vista Beer and say they like it. Many people try Windows Vista Beer, then spit it back into the can and order another Windows XP Beer.

UNIX Beer

This very heavy beer comes in 32oz cans, and has been around for years, rumor has it that it was originally brewed as a hoax by a couple of bored workers, only for them to find that some people actually liked the stuff. It tends to be drunk only by freaks or eccentric academics, often with beards; and drinkers of it do not like drinkers of any other beer. In its basic form it doesn’t look particularly impressive, but with the addition of a magic ingredient named “X”, it can be converted into an all-singing-all-dancing beer on a par with the others. Many other varieties exist, with a huge range of flavors and (often unpronounceable) ingredients. Mac Beer has many of the same ingredients as Unix Beer.

OS/2 Beer

Tasted like a mix between Unix and DOS Beer. Allowed you to drink several DOS Beers and a Windows 3.1 Beer simultaneously, but slowly. You never saw anyone drinking OS/2 Beer, but the manufacturer (International Beer Manufacturing) claimed that 9 million OS/2 Beer six-packs were sold. The best place these days to find an OS/2 Beer is inside an old ATM machine.

AmigaDOS Beer

The company went out of business, but their recipe was picked up by some weird German company, so now this beer is an import. This beer never really sold very well because the original manufacturer didn’t understand marketing. Like Unix Beer, AmigaDOS Beer fans are an extremely loyal and loud group. When this can was originally introduced, it appeared flashy and colorful, but the design never changed much over the years, so it looked dated in its later years.

VMS Beer

Requires minimal user interaction, except for popping the top and sipping. However, these beer cans have been known on occasion to explode, or contain extremely un-beer-like contents. Best drunk in high-pressure development environments. When you call the manufacturer for the list of ingredients, you’re told that is proprietary and referred to an unknown listing in the manuals published by the FDA. Rumors are that this was once listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference as a tranquilizer, but no one can claim to have actually seen it.
