[A bear stopped in the store for some beer in Hayward Wisconsin](http://www.fox21online.com/news/beer-bear-causes-ruckus-hayward-grocery-store). Maybe it was the Hamms Beer Bear, though he would be ancient by now. More likely it was a hairy tourist.

Lazy bear didn’t even pop open a single beer, though. Just sat in the cooler. Maybe he was claiming a good hibernation spot, figured that a nice beer would be the ideal wake-me-up beverage when winter was over?

Had I been there this is something that wouldn’t have shocked me to see. I’ve seen too many black bear to surprise me. Now if it had started to dance or juggle I would have been surprised.
