In DC I had a yard-long beer--similar but much longer contraption. There's a pic of me somewhere drinking it.; 1/23/10, 5:57 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: That looks like fun. Know what would go good with that? Schnitzel und spätzle, you say? Yes. But also a Caesar's salad, that's what.; 1/23/10, 6:06 PM
EnigmatiCore said...: Well, I just posted this on the last open thread, but suspected it was dead...

Althouse, not sure if you were planning to blog about this, but if you do, I'd like you to consider this thought:

What is odder? That someone went and astroturfed a letter to the editor all over the place, or that various newspapers are so heterogeneous in their way of thinking that so many decided that, of all the letters they get, this one deserved printing?

I find it remarkable and bordering on suspicious.

No, I take that back. I find it suspicious.; 1/23/10, 6:13 PM
chickelit said...: I used to live right down the road from these guys and I remember when they first started up. I see from their website that they're still pretty green around the pils (i.e., still stuck on ale).

They probably encourage their "most happy" employees to vote Obama, but one thing that both right and left can surely agree on is that beer is good.

Cheers!; 1/23/10, 6:14 PM

Ignorance is Bliss said...: EnigmatiCore-

I don't see it as that suspicious. The letter was well written, and most papers probably get very few well written letters.; 1/23/10, 6:40 PM
EnigmatiCore said...: I am certain that newspapers consider letters of that ilk to be well-written, beyond what they normally receive.

That's basically my point.; 1/23/10, 7:05 PM

bagoh20 said...: I mostly quit drinking in 2006 for health reasons, but a tall glass of beer is just irresistible. I was never a big beer drinker but it is so photogenic, I get a thrill up my leg.; 1/23/10, 8:22 PM
