Beer and Rap Update

There's a piece surveying wheat beers in the current issue of The Onion. Note that it was written when the morning commute involved shirts sweating through by 7AM, rather than coasting through a cool, umm, spritz. The most notable omission*, New Glarus' Dancing Man Wheat, already got a shout-out in a previous issue--and an initial attempt to shoehorn Fearful Symmetries into the intro led to some piece-wide bloat. The original, politically-charged context was funnier anyway.

Also, tangentially re: something else I'm way behind on: KRS-One talks about reclaiming the n-word, Fat Joe.


*also checked a bunch of places for Viking's Belgian Dim Whit (July seasonal), with no luck

If you're wondering why the anonymous representative of J. Walther Thompson above has been trolling for rap-related posts on google blogsearch, see the press release for their viral video:
