    Wouldn't that get the Zig-Zag wet?

    "Help me! Help me!" said the fly. (You're pretty damned old if you know that line.)

    I would gently pick the fly out, blow dry his little wings, make sure he flies well, then continue drinking my beer.

    Beer is meant to be shared. I too would dive right in if I found a beer that big.

    I'm not sure what I would do if an actual fly landed in my beer. I've had a small fruit fly land in my beer before, in which case I got it out and continued drinking. I know, I know, the germs they carry have nothing to do with the size of the fly, but still. Smaller flies seem less disgusting. :rolling_eyes:

    I once had the unfortunate experience of being forced to urinate in an outhouse that a previous occupant decided to shit all over. As I was doing my business I watched a fly land on one of the many piles of feces and soon after started flying towards me. I tore out of that bathroom like a bat out of hell, I've never moved so fast in my life. Flies love shit, and landing in shit, never again did I ever eat/drink/consume anything that a fly has landed on, because I witnessed this first hand and they are untrustworthy arseholes.

    I obey the 5 second rule even on spilled beer, so I would flick the little bugger out quick and carry on drinking.

    I had a fly land in my turnip greens when in grade school. Pulled it out and kept eating. Besides, it might add the right bacteria to the beer. Maybe taste better! Wouldn't bother me. Hey, if this is a dumb post, why did any of you nasayers post? Go figure!

    If a fly falling into a beer scares your friends, they will die in a flash after they find out that their Cantillon has been tainted with cobwebs and spiders

    The fly probably just had good taste.

    I have eaten so many things worse than a fly. I probably wouldn't even take it out before I drank the beer.

    I remember eating some stew from a big cauldron over a fire in the old Yugoslavia- modern day Bosnia-Herzegovina- that after the first 2 or 3 flies you just didn't care. We were hungry.

    Choke the fly till he spits out the beer then tell him to buy his own damn beer,or kill it and leave it as a tip.

    lol - my first though was as @offthelevel_bytheplumb - drink the fly! Drink the fly! Drink the fly!

    But then I was like, are you at a bar or tavern? Ask for another drink...
    If yer at home, fish it out, and take a quick drink to shake it off...

    Scoop it out with a spoon or whatever I have and continue to drink the beer. All it does is add a little protein, actually makes the beer a little better for you........

    I pick out the fly and continue to drink.
    Yeast esters smell great to both humans and flies so they can't be blamed for having a bath after all that is how the yeast typically find new food sources outside the breweries.
