The simple pleasures of beering locally. I'm older now, and simple beer pleasures are the most meaningful to me. They tend to be encountered locally. It is my aim to get unplugged and explore some of them, slowly and thoughtfully. I'd tell you where it's leading, except that I've no idea ... and that's the whole point of the journey: To find out.

Not only that, but it helps with scurvy.
A close friend and longtime pub customer -- once, during hard times, I fed him Paulaner Salvator with an eyedropper to wean him from Wiedemann -- stopped by today and related this screamer.
Seems that on Saturday night he was at Stevie Ray’s, a downtown Louisville blues club of some renown, and overheard the following at a nearby table:
Customer: I’ll have a Miller Lite with a slice of lime.
Waitress: A what?
Customer: Miller Lite, and a slice of lime.
Waitress: Oh – you see, we call that an Okolona Corona.
(helpless laughter at my friend’s table)
Customer (red-faced): I don’t get it.
Waitress: It’s when you’re too cheap to drink a real Corona.
If you don’t reside in the Louisville metro area, you might not understand how funny this is.
Okay, okay. Back to your stations.
