About This Item

Bosco1.jpg

Bosco the Beer-Swilling Bass has a goal: to help legal-age beer drinkers enjoy tasty beer and collect bottlecaps along the way!

Bosco is a bottle-opening bass (Bassus Fermentus Openus), an extremely rare breed. He has been sighted in the streams near breweries and along areas with numerous bars. He desires to travel around the country (and possibly the world), and see what sorts of tasty beer he can help you enjoy along the way. He hopes to someday make it back to his owner, Joefrog.

YOU can help Bosco with his goal. He already has several bottlecaps on his chain from beer he has enjoyed; please add one of your local sudsy favorites to his collection. Bosco prefers unusual microbrews, but domestics are fine for him, too. Do try to add one that is not already on the chain! Pictures of Bosco during his travels are welcomed! ***PLEASE*** put travel bugs in secure, stable & better established caches!! When ya get there and see that a cache is pretty much right out in the open, don't put a Travel Bug in there!! Save it for the cache that's hidden very well!

I found Bosco again. This is the second time we have met. The first time was up in Chicago, IL and this time was near Bloomington, IL. This poor guy just can't seem to get out of the midwest. What I want to know is, who stole the Stooges Beer caps. I gave him three of my caps and now their gone. Maybe he got hungry in his journey. Oh well, Maybe I'll take him out for a drink this weekend and then set him free. Good luck little buddy.

Just dropped off Bosco at a bug hotel we had already visited so he could continue on his way home for his parent's anniversary.

Took Bosco home with me so we could enjoy a Rolling Rock (Not in the PA traditional Seven Ounce Green Pony Bottle, but in the full sized 12 ouncer which is all that's available out here in the parched midwest.) We'll try and move him towards home quickly, but some of us have to work for a living..) Besides, he's been stranded in Pekin for a month now.
