... We have other silly stories; how about this one:
Government Shutdown Affecting Beer, Wine, and Liquor Sales...
You didn't know this, didja?
You didn't...
...No, the liquor store is still open.
(The "package store", as we say in New England).
Schoolhouse Brewing...
Everyone who's heard of Schoolhouse Brewing, raise your hand.
Don't everybody hold up their hand at once.
It's in Marietta, Georgia...
... "We're looking to get our licensing,
and that is stalled".
Oh; so in other words,
they're not even open -
they're just opening
now.
What I heard was,
the guy who approves the new beer labels -
I guess he works for the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration -
he has been furloughed.
So you know,
if "Old Foggy Horn Brewery",
you know, the "craft brewery"
that opened up in the old Dick's Sporting Goods Store in the mall -
if they were looking to put out a new pumpkin fest brew for the spring
(or bock, or whatever the seasonal brew is),
they can't get it approved by the FDA,
so you'll just have to buy the "brew"
that's available 365 days a year...
