National Lager Day – December 10th
Why not celebrate a light summer beer in December? Who picks these national days? But it works in Hawaii especially if you go with Bikini Blonde from Maui Brewing. Cheers!

It’s No Wonder we drink
With calls to scrap the US Constitution being proposed by a former president, it might be handy to keep a copy in hand. Literally. That’s where rocks glasses from Uncommon Goods featuring script from the Constitution comes in.
Just in case.

Edibles or Alcohol? If you like either, don’t read this
We would expect any Wall Street Journal article to discuss the money involved with alcohol and cannabis. But this one discusses only their effects on health! And no big surprise, coming from a very conservative publication…. It’s all bad. Not that this news will put a dent in the popularity of either.

In Search of the pleasurable workout
According to the LA Times, Stoned+Toned is fitness company that blends cannabis and fitness in pursuit of community and a more pleasurable workout. A “Pelostoned” Facebook group has thousands of members who smoke cannabis and ride their stationary bikes. So much for the lazy stoner.

crypto Thriller
It’s close to midnight
Something evil’s lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
Michael Jackson’s Thriller aired for the first time on MTV this day in 1983. On the same day in 2001, following revelations of massive accounting fraud, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection. So beware. More crypto bankruptcies could be deja vu all over again.
And no one’s gonna save you.

Where the One who matters… knows your Name
This coming Friday, and the first Friday of every December, is National Bartenders Day. If you’re lucky, you have a bartender who knows your name AND…. Your Drink! Now…. How to thank them? No idea. But we all have some time to work on it. Best of luck because a good bartender deserves thanks and recognition.

When You’re Feeling Blue….
The Apple Cup is over and Blue Mountain Cider Maker, Abe, is back in Milton-Freewater, Oregon making cider with only the freshest apples. While his beloved Cougars lost, we’re certain the crushing, decisive defeat won’t affect his cider-making performance.
“Blue Mountain Cider is a premier producer of hard ciders made from apples we grow in Oregon at the southern end of the Walla Walla Valley. Founded in 2003 by Ron Brown, a second generation apple farmer in the Walla Walla Valley, Blue Mountain Cider is still in family hands and with Ron’s son Andrew Brown heading up winemaking and his son Jared Brown overseeing the apple farm. Blue Mountain Cider uses only apples we grow and always makes its cider fresh pressed, never from concentrate. Blue Mountain Cider is the embodiment of the Brown families efforts to create the world’s best hard ciders.”
Abe, there’s always next year!

Penalty!
A man takes his seat at the World Cup Final. He looks to his left and notices that there is a spare seat between himself and the next guy.
The man: “Who would ever miss the World Cup final?”
The guy: “That was my wife’s seat. We have been to the last five World Cup finals together, but sadly she passed away.”
The man: “That’s terrible, but couldn’t you get another member of the family, friend, or someone else to come with you?”
The guy: “No… they’re all at the funeral.”
Yellow Card!!?? Bull#$@% !!
If you’re watching the World Cup you know what a Yellow Card is. Or maybe you’ve been hit with one on the home front. Regardless, Mantitlement.com has a cocktail that says, “I not sure I agree with your decision to issue me a Yellow Card but a few sips of this cocktail and I’m feeling better in general.” Or something like that.

No Beer for you!!
Two days before the World Cup starts, host country Qatar announced that beer will not be sold, as originally promised, in the stadiums. Soccer fans are understandably confused and angry since beer helps make a nil-nil match super-exciting. As for the rest of us back home…. cheers!
