Hey Mikey, whatcha got on tap today?

Well bud, like usual I’ve got the PBR, the Hamm’s, and the Schlitz. I got the Miller Lite, but for some reason lately it tastes great but is less filling.  But I’m also trying out some-a that new craft beer.  This week we’ve got something called Pigtail Pelosi.  It’s one-a those kinda citrusy ones, smooth but with a kick.  Assertive, powerful, and intense.  And we have this oldie, the McConnell Stout.  It’s a dark, mellow ale, aged in bourbon barrels. Like a taste?  Here ya go.  Oh, and this week we have a Lizzie Phizzy.  It’s a Massachusetts beer.  I didn’t even know those folks knew anything about craft beers, but this is more like a seltzer. Lots of carbonation.  High in content, low on flavor, sadly. Made up originally in some of those Harvard students’ dorm rooms I hear. Annndddd…I just got this Lindsey Hop in this morning.  It’s a pale ale, but – like the Marco and Ted’s Beer Adventure we had here last week – it has a kind of cloying, nutty flavor. Adventure and the Hop do have their fans though, I’ll admit, so I imagine we’ll keep bringing them back.

What’ll you have?  Coors in a banquet can?  Nice.

Y’hear about The Squad getting ripped by yer Prez?  Missed that?  Not sure how or why but he wants to send them back.  I assume he means back to Congress, cuz they are kicking it.  And AOC (you know you’ve got something going when they know you by your initials – JFK, FDR, GAGA), she is making This Land Is Your Land, that old song by Woody Guthrie, the defacto Democratic Party’s anthem.  Love it. We’ll see where it goes. Even I can sing along with that.

Finally, did you hear about the huge earthquakes in California?  Scary, scary.  So sad.  But there was an even bigger quake in Congress this week.  A handful of Republicans voted to condemn the Prez’ rhetoric, and even a GOP U.S.Senator chastised him.  Huge. Mindboggling. Rare.  The rest are drinking that McConnell Stout I think.

There will be more before all this is over.

How do I know?

I’m a bartender.
