It just boggles that you can still find more than a couple of people who can do things like this with a straight face:
A gaggle of do-gooders came to my door the other day to solicit support for their efforts to block the Shooting Creek Brewery, a brew pub not far from our home.
Conversation went something like this:
Hi, did you know there is an effort to start a brew pub that will brew and serve beer?
Isn’t that what they do at brew pubs?
Yes, but we don’t think brew pubs belong in Floyd County.
Why not?
Because drinking is a sin.
It is? Didn’t Christ serve wine to his disciples?
That’s not the point. We don’t need a brew pub in Floyd County.
Again, I ask: Why not?
Because it will corrupt our children.
I suspect the children of Floyd County, VA will have bigger problems than beer if folks like this get their way.

If beer is a sin, then send me down to Hell for a cold one, boys.

I’m with Ben Franklin, who said “Beer is proof that God loves us.”

I feel as if some missionary work may be in order . . .

Well, now that absinthe is legal, I’d like to suggest it as an alternative to the sinful beer for the children of Floyd County, VA. I could even bring along my beloved bottle of Pernod to help spread the good word…
