Henry and Hilaire Walk into a Bar

A wonderful, homey pub, actually.
They enjoy a few pints each, the best ales and lagers either had ever enjoyed. The owner-brewer, prevented from expanding into a major regional establishment by differential taxes meant to encourage widespread distribution of property, thereby limiting the banality of a landscape marred with repetition, opted instead to focus on improving [...]

Who Says That We Can’t Mix Business and Pleasure?

My most recent crazy life dream:
The Hemlock Pub: No Sports, No Mass-Produced Beer; All the Discourse You Can Imbibe!
