This just got real, people


As reported throughout the interweb and other, less-traditional news sources today, the federal government partial shutdown has led to the complete shutdown of the process by which new beers are approved for sale across state lines. This means spring seasonals might not make it to stores in time to replace sold-out stocks of winter seasonals.

On second thought, perhaps this less a disaster than an excuse for me to remain firmly ensconced here at home, where I will still be able to visit and partake from the fresh stock of our great state's nearly-infinite number of craft breweries. 'Tis a privilege to live in Colorado!

Or you could visit your dear friends in the socialist North who not only have wonderful wineries, micro-breweries, and various artisanal cheese producing dairies but whose government will never shut down. ever.
