Somebody found a mythical creature that won’t kill them in Australia. Quite a rarity.
I guess it beats having a drop bear petting zoo.

That might seem like a good deal but beer is really expensive in Australia these days. Two cartons (cases in US english) is well over AUD$80 (~USD$60)…
What kind of beer?

If the Hollywood thing doesn’t pan out, the creature can be used to forcefully open beer kegs. Sadly ironic, when you think about it.
Ahem. Only the unwary trust unicorns to be harmless. I have a (very factual) fridge magnet that states: “I wish I was a unicorn so I could stab people through the heart with my head”.

Tax on beer has gone up in Oz over the last 30 years as a public health / moral panic response to working class drinking. The equivalent tax has not been passed on wine, tipple of the middle classes, for some reason.
