According to
this Associated Press story in the Boston Globe, a black bear in Baker Lake, Washington raided camper's coolers - and went after the beer. Some thirty-six cans worth. (Had I not seen it in the Globe, I would have expected this to be a
sailorjim special.)
This reminds me of the Callahan's Bar Halloween tale where Mike's costume is that of a rather sore bear - whenever someone bumped into him, he rather blatently winced, explaining that he was "a bar' tender."
