The Beer Thread

Clearly I need to follow Ted Lieu as his twitter feed is expert level snark…

A chef's kiss in this beatdown

Actually,
@HouseGOP
did accomplish some things.

1. Republicans took turns reading the Constitution out loud on the House Floor.

2. They held two hearings complaining about Twitter.

3. Some GOP Members boycotted Bud Light and instead brought other beers from the same company.

This story is so bizarre

Junior is like “hey bud lite sucks for what they did, but let’s not cancel them as they give a lot of money to republicans “

Thought this was on Onion story

I was coming here to discuss the outright violence that has beset the American lager.

wasn't bad enough that all those fancy kids were drinking their IPA's
now we have to deal with automatic weapons and nation-states

I have no idea what you're talking about but I completely agree. Or disagree. I don't know.

The destruction of beer reminds me of the time when Coors was only available in certain parts of the country, there was such a demand for  it people were illegally transporting it across states.  A load of land it landed in the Grosse Pointes of Michigan and then confiscated by the authorities, who proceeded to steamroll the cans in a local parking lot…

if only the modern bootleggers had only remembered to transport the stuff across the river…

They have figured out a way to hate the woke beer companies…but still drink the beer swill you love!
I mean, this is genius and I can't believe I hadn't thought of this

just slip on a real women of politics condom, and you are set

This is what I was thinking too. I think people forget that all of that insanity in the film is based around getting beer to a nascar race on time.

The bad news is the Bruery retail store in Union Market is closing. The good news is:

Rumor has it The Bruery is not done with the DC-area, however. They may be looking at either Alexandria or Arlington for a tasting room, with retail and distribution components as well. We’ll monitor this situation and keep you updated

New District Brewing Company

After a great run, we are sad to announce that New District Brewing Company will be closing our location in Shirlington at the end of May. While we're still optimistic about reopening in a new location, for the moment we are saying goodbye.

Their pils is the one beer I like of theirs… hopefully it's that offering in a different can.

Astro Lab closing, space taken over by Third Hill. That's surprising, I thought Astro Lab was supposed to be the best of the bunch in Silver Spring.

Best does not equate to making money or sustainable
