Buy American, buy beer

Here’s an interesting take on the best way to support your fellow countrymen during the recession, almost recession, or whatever it is we’re having (or not) – buy beer.

As the theory goes, much of the money spent on most non-perishable items ends up somewhere else, as I covered in a different blog. At least beer money, when spent on American brews, should stay here. Not sure that works out as planned when the beer contains Hallertau, Tettnang or Saaz hops, or malt from the UK, but then again it was said more in jest than anything else.

As it happens, I’ve been going through a bit of an import phase myself, but it’s a good reminder to buy local, particularly given the great brews we have in the area.

Support your local brew, and if it’s a good one let us know about it as well!
