Have I been so “beer starved” that I’m acting like a state-pen inmate on “Ice Cream” night? No! We have really seen some change in the area and no, I am not experiencing the “beer-geek held hostage” equivalent of Stockholm syndrome when I thank the Budweiser behemoth Central Distributing for the change we are experiencing. The three beers that I mentioned are really available in Charleston and it’s all due to Central Distributing Company’s apparently recent realization and acceptance that selling good quality beer along with the usual macro-swill is a sound business decision. Many such large distributors must be seeing the growth numbers, and I am sure they want to get in on the success. They now know that they can’t just sit and wait for their “mega brewery” masters to endow them with the right products to sell; it cannot and will not happen. In fact, some of these macro brewers are in craft beer denial. They think this is just a passing fad. What products do they think will capture the palates of the American consumer? How about Miller Chill! You know, the one with the lime and salt already added. That sounds like such a profound product that I am sure its luster will never fade…. Yuk! [...] […] Am I over reacting?

Yep, Carrie, Elliot Ness & Billy Sunday. Down there with old Alphonse Capone & Dillenger, Luciani & the rest of the prohibitionist. Look at what they did to this country. We lost the tavern culture.So, many people die on the highways, thanks to them & the temperance/prohibitionist!!. Because other people have not been educated like in Europe. Alcohol has been put on such a pedstal & demonized, thus an abstance only ads are being seen on TV & other media. (See also: sex education) Which has been proven to be an utter failure! Thus, the 21st Admendment. The summary is wrong, DUH! Yep, Carrie, Elliot Ness & Billy Sunday. Down there with old Alphonse Capone & Dillenger, Luciani & the rest of the prohibitionist.
