99 Bottles

(1) Derived from the 14th Century English song, "Ten Green Bottles," the song "99 Bottles of Beer" is believed to be of American origin, and is typically sung by school children on long trips, as it has a very repetitive format that is easy to memorize and can take a very long time to sing. The lyrics start "99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall..." With each verse subtracting a bottle until the grand finally of "no more bottles of beer on the wall" is reached.

(2) 99 Bottles is the best beer store in Washington State, according to the King 5 Evening Magazine 2009 Viewer Poll. 99 Bottles carries over 1,000 brews (ale, lager, hard cider, mead) from 50 countries.
