"The banned brewskis, from the Charleston area, were a gift for Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., a co-chair of the large House Small Brewers Caucus, Cunningham said on Twitter... 'Making friends when you’re a freshman is hard and I thought I’d grease the skids with some Lowcountry beer,' Cunningham said on Twitter, adding that DeFazio eventually got the beer. 'Can I join the beer caucus now?'"

Still partying from the football game.
House Rules dictate a flask.
Hold my beer and watch this...
What is with reporters today? Even this small, amusing story with no particular ax to grind fails to answer several key questions such as: Who stopped him? (Saergent at arms? Capitol Police?) What rule was violated?
Dave trying to drink beer from a can when he is accustomed to a Grohler.
After Dave Grohl broke his leg falling off the stage in Sweden in 2015, he brought his orthopedic "Doctor Lew" on stage at Fenway Park to sing Seven Nation Army.
Really let's loose when he unties his bow tie.
Party and impeach. Impeach and party.

DEFAZIO IS ON THE PHONE TO CUNNINGHAM:
A sample of my blood was sent to Atlanta to the Center for Disease Control. It's a special service they have for Committee Chairmen.
(point to the phone)
Freshman.

Did you see Alien? When the guy had the creature in his stomach? It feels like that.
But how is this Trump's fault?
First the Democrats criticized Trump's dancing at the inauguration. Now they are stopping their own from having a few beers. Might as well just rename them the Puritan Party, especially considering their next act is to investigate Trump's sexual past.
"But how is this Trump's fault?"
Trump has so lowered the standards of what is acceptable public behavior, that Congressmen now think they can bring six-packs of beer on the House floor.
Wow, that was easy!
I like beer, do you like beer?
I would think he'd drink Grolsch.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned who's really responsible: Trump-haters. They just changed the long-standing no-hats rule so a Muslim could be sworn in with her head covered, so naturally Democrats think anything goes now. If these two things were Trump's idea - blatantly religious garb OK, even the mildest alcohol not OK - it would be a sign of the Handmaid's Tale Social Apocalypse! As it is, it's just . . . still Trump's fault somehow.
Of course they wouldn't let him have the brewskis. Judge, Tom, PJ, Bernie and Squi hadn't arrived yet.

Well, at least he didn't break his leg like 2016 when he fell off the stage in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Max Baucus was drunk while debating Obamacare in 2009.

Also when not debating Obamacare.
Yes, you have to sneak it onto the floor and lie about it. Those freshmen have to get early training in pulling the wool over citizens eyes.
It's understandable that he didn't think there were any rules once you're in Congress.
Is that guy related to Laverne DeFazio, of Schlitz brewing company fame?
In my band, we might fall off the stage but we would never spill a beer.

It’s Shotz.
He’s my Congressman, but I didn’t vote for him. He’s a vapid lightweight in the mold of Beto and Sandy. I’ve never heard him utter an intelligent thought.
These people are electing people like they vote for the contestents on American Idol. Pathetic.
What, he didn't have a dancing video to prove Republicans are prudes?
It’s a truly bipartisan caucus. When you have Sheila Jackson Lee and Steve King in the same caucus, you know a higher calling is involved.
I'm just glad to hear the House has a Small Brewer's Caucus.
Ted Kennedy had no trouble getting vodka in the Senate chamber.
Elizabeth Warren hardest hit
Well..it was how Obama so deftly healed race relations with his Beer Summit.
On a Lite level, this guy can(!) claim to be a true "Joe six pack".
He had to exit, chased by a beer.
I wonder if anyone would have disagreed with Georgia's Representative Hank Johnson bringing in a bottle of Ripple.
