HAPPY ST. LOUIS CRAFT BEER WEEK!

Everybody! Everybody!

It’s St. Louis Craft Beer Week, May 30-June 6. That means a week of beer tastings, beer history, and other fun beer things.

If you have the means/time, I recommend checking it out. Especially the beer tasting for wine lovers you can find in events. I’ll be trying to find the time/means, but with St. Louis a mere 5 hours away, there’s really no reason not to check it out.

PBR put to good use at a Winnetka HS

High school pranks are getting weaker.

Seniors from New Trier High School in Winnetka found a way to slip a picture of a student drinking a Pabst Blue Ribbon into their yearbook, according to UPI.com.

The Beer of Hipsters… and high schoolers?

While this is probably tasteless, and a bit ridiculous, the real story are the high school administrators who have decided this is a terrible thing to do to a yearbook.

“It’s clearly defiant and subversive and intentional,” says spokeswoman Laura Blair.

Principal Linda Yonke did not consider the prank harmless.

“It sort of casts a pall over the whole yearbook,” Yonke said.

Really? One picture ruins your yearbook? I’m not worried so much that kids are drinking underage as the fact that a PBR can can be called “defiant and subversive.”

Good pranks should always, in my opinion, be slightly dangerous. Like this one from the UK. Driving cars into your high school? Awesome.
