Pennies and Spit

By the way, for the first time in weeks, I’ve written something up for work that I’m actually pleased with: “The Quest for the Best Near-Beer.” At the very least, I got to trick a bunch of nice people into spending an afternoon drinking “beer” that tasted like echinacea, cat food, tomato sauce, metal and a few other things, depending on who you ask about it. I like to think about it as public service: If you’re ever in the position where trying non-alcoholic beer seems like a good idea, you’ll at least know which one eleven people picked as being the least awful.
