Post Malone hit the ‘gram on Tuesday (May 27th) night to exhibit the results of his and his friends’ wizard staff, a tall sword of sorts made of taped-together beer cans. It’s no secret that Posty is a big fan of the brews, especially Bud Light. He’s challenged tons of other celebrities to beer pong tournaments in the past, and has even been known to drink beer out of his shoe while performing onstage. That’s why it hardly comes as a surprise that he’s been consuming copious amounts of brews with his bros in quarantine, but when he stacks the empty cans on top of one another like this, it looks pretty unreal.

In the photo, a camouflaged Posty poses next to the ceiling-high wizard staff, which was constructed using Bud Light cans, of course. He’s surrounded by his bassist Brian Lee, guitarist Nick Mac, tour photographer Adam DeGross, and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The towering structure appears to be made up of approximately 35 or so cans, which, including the man who snapped the photo, Clemente Ruiz, is bout 7 beers each, although they may have just hit their height limit.

Despite his affinity for beer, Post recently dipped his toe in the wine world by launching his own French rosé called Maison No. 9. He announced the partnership with Global Brand Equities earlier this month, stating, “Rosé is for when you want to get a little fancy. It’s a nice switch up and I have been thinking about doing my own wine for a while.”

Corona beer is no longer being made in Mexico for the time being, after the Mexican government suspended all non-essential businesses during the coronavirus pandemic. Despite alcohol sales booming as a result of the coronavirus-induced quarantine, it looks like some companies have been told to cease production of their booze due to their status as a non-essential business during this global crisis. Grupo Modelo, the Anheuser-Busch Inbev-owned company that makes Corona as well as Modelo and Pacifico beers, is one such business that has been told to halt production by the Mexican government in an effort to combat the spread of coronavirus in the country.

This measure includes the suspension of all non-essential activities in the public and private sectors of Mexico until at least April 30th. According to John Hopkins, the country has had more than 1600 confirmed cases of coronavirus and has experienced 60 related deaths.

Grupo Modelo is, however, prepared to enact a plan to “guarantee the supply of beer” if the Mexican government does decide that breweries qualify as essential businesses, according to a statement. Bill Newlands, CEO of Constellation Brands which handles the distribution and import of Grupo Modelo’s beers in the United States, ensured that the brand has “ample supply to meet consumer demand” and doesn’t expect there to be shortages. Despite reports that Corona’s shared name with the worldwide virus had caused sales to suffer, Constellation reports that their beer sales actually grew 8.9% in the first three months of this year. Sales even accelerated by 24% during the first three weeks of March compared to a year ago.

Not only is Doja Cat steadily supplying us with bops (have you seen the “Say So” video yet?), she is steadily supplying us with quality entertainment on Instagram Live. Some of the best proof of this is the emotional monologue she delivered a few weeks ago about how Nicki Minaj is deserving of the utmost respect. Now, the singer is voicing her opinions on the biggest trending topic of the moment: Coronavirus. 

While the world is being sent into a panic over this pandemic-approximating virus, Doja Cat remains unperturbed. “Bitch, I’m not scared of a Coronavirus or the motherfucking beer version of that shit,” she told her followers while sassily smacking her gum. All this talk of Coronavirus is only making Doja crave a nice cold beer to avoid the pervasive paranoia. “I’m gonna get a Corona cause I don’t give a fuck about Corona[virus], bitch. It’s a flu! I would literally… I’m not scared. Y’all are pussy, period.” 

Dr. Doja then proposed remedies that could protect you from this minor plague. “You just take some Mucinex and drink water and tea and sleep – that’s all you gotta do.” She gave the topic a final shrug by re-emphasizing where her priorities lie. “Y’all are so scared about some damn Corona. Y’all are so scared of Corona that I need a Corona.”

Perhaps Doja can convince the organizers and sponsors of Coachella to not cancel the festival due to health concerns, so she can get to make her big debut. 

Corona beer sales are down while Coronavirus is on the rise. Due to the similarities in their names, some American beer drinkers are avoiding the beer ever since the Coronavirus outbreak.

“There is no question that Corona beer is suffering because of the coronavirus,” Ronn Torossian, founder of 5WPR, stated. Corona business owners have assured citizens that there is no connection between the beer and the virus, except for the name. Despite the reassurance, owners know this is a disaster for the Corona brand.

Some citizens feel as if the brand should lay low for awhile. In a recent survey of 737 beer drinkers, 38% of Americans would not buy Corona beer “under any circumstances,” while 14% would not order the drink in public, and 16% state they’re in a state of confusion, and not sure whether the virus is related to the Corona beer. Despite the correlation, some Americans continue, proudly, to drink the beer.

The company is now promoting its new Corona Hard Seltzer, despite the harsh criticism they’ve been receiving. Corona’s parent company, Constellation Brands, stated they will be spending more than $40 million to market the four new seltzer flavors they are coming out with. 

Are you still grabbing a Corona at this time?

Despite having millions of dollars, platinum plaques coming out the wazoo, tons of industry backing and love from around the world, Post Malone is really just a regular dude. Okay, maybe he’s not but he would be the first to tell you just how similar he is to you and me. Sipping on Bud Light and chain-smoking cigarettes, Posty is a rap anomaly. He’s unlike anybody else in the game, truly employing a unique strategy to maintain his popularity as a global superstar. He presents enough novelty that people gravitate toward his brand. And it’s things like this that simply humanize him, making him even more of a lovable character.

Post Malone is not above using his own nose grease and sweat to get rid of the unwanted foam in his beer. He proved that by using a classic (and oddly scientific) fraternity party trick, wiping both sides of his nose to collect facial grease and using the same hand to gently twirl around his drink, magically allowing the gunk to disappear so he could enjoy the cold beverage. Post was inside the Tao Nightclub pop-up at a Sundance Festival kick-off party where he was captured on video pulling the trick, causing some bloggers to lose their appetites. Page Six‘s report of the event notes that the rapper should consider washing his hands. However, his representative detailed exactly the reason why Malone went through with the display.

“His Bud Light was poured too fast and there was a bit of foam at the top and that makes the foam disappear,” explained Post’s rep, in case anybody really cared.

Who else is going to try this out the next time a Bud Light sounds like the right choice?
